Thermosetting polymers, particularly epoxy resins and phenolic materials, stand out as a significant class of synthetic materials renowned for their densely crosslinked structure. This unique property distinguishes them from other polymers and lends them a host of exceptional characteristics.
From high glass transition temperatures to superior strength and resistance, thermosetting polymers offer a myriad of benefits that make them indispensable in various industries, including automotive.
In demanding applications, such as those found in automotive, aircraft, and aerospace industries, thermosetting polymers play a critical role. These materials, reinforced with glass fibres, carbon fibres, or minerals, exhibit exceptional thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties, making them ideal for a wide range of components and systems.
At forteq, our engineers are specialized in working with thermoset materials, including fibreglass/carbon-reinforced thermoset plastics like phenolic and epoxy.
These materials form the backbone of our innovative solutions for automotive applications, ranging from Thermal Module Management (impellers and housings) to EV and ICE powertrain and transmission components (over-moulding of electric contacts, high pressure oil valves).
In addition, our expertise extends to braking systems (ABS valve, vacuum pumps components) and Electric Steering Systems (pulleys and housings), where the exceptional properties of thermosetting polymers are leveraged to ensure optimal performance and reliability.
At forteq, we are committed to pushing the boundaries of innovation and delivering cutting-edge solutions to meet our customers' most demanding project requirements. By harnessing the inherent capabilities of thermosetting polymers we continue to drive advancements in automotive technology and shape the future of mobility.
