Energy

Composites have found extensive applications in the energy industries for the last three decades like in oil and gas in areas such as modules, protection, equipment, spool able pipes and pressure vessels. Composites are thermal insulators which are good for fire and blast protection or cryogenic applications. It improves topside stability in vessels and offshore structures and buoyancy for deep sea applications. Also widely used in the wind blade manufacturing.
