Experts in lightweight materials

LIGHTWEIGHT MATERIALS

Metallics
Aluminium’s high-strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and recyclability make it well suited for many applications, including transportation, medical and industrial. High-strength steels were developed primarily for the automotive market and are typically as strong as carbon sheets, but are now widely used across many markets.

Composites
We build high-performance tools, patterns and components using prepreg and infusion technologies.  We work with carbon, glass, and aramid fabrics in woven and unidirectional formats and bio-based materials.

Core
Most of the core in use at TRB is made from honeycomb. We specify aluminium honeycomb for the majority of our projects, and we process Nomex, plastic honeycomb, Flex™Core, foam and other core materials when required.

TRB’s Cellite™ range has been used over many years to manufacture bonded assemblies, lightweight structures and composite components for Rail, Aerospace, Defence, Marine and Automotive industries.

Panels can be machined to size, fabricated and assembled into various structures for a wide range of applications. We offer standard stocked panels, including aluminium skins and aluminium honeycomb core and glass fibre faced skins with aluminium honeycomb core.

We are also able to manufacture custom panels configured to meet the customer’s requirements, including carbon fibre skins, peel-ply skins and honeycomb cores.
