Marine
Today, prepreg composites for marine are one of the main sectors of application. The new generations of yachts, and racing crafts in general, can achieve better performances using our products.
Microtex Composites produces composites in carbon fibre that represent the optimal answer to the increasing needs of the nautical market, thanks to their lightness, aesthetics, functionality and resistance to different environmental conditions.
In particular, composites for the nautical market (such as prepreg systems with low-temperature polymerization) are successfully used in order to create: masts, hulls and booms.
The final result are faster boats that can reach a significant reduction in fuel consumption as well.
