Duralite glass fiber is a term that refers to several different products, but they generally fall into the category of high-performance composite materials. The “Duralite” brand name is used by multiple companies for products where durability and light weight are key features.
Detailed information
- Composition: Duralite is made from layers of glass or carbon fiber, or a blend of both, embedded in a thermoplastic resin. The high percentage of fiber layers contributes to its exceptional stability and stiffness.
- Properties:
- Lightweight and Durable: It offers a high strength-to-weight ratio.
- Resiliency: The material is able to return to its original shape through millions of cycles, which helps reduce fatigue and prevent injury.
- Thermoplastic: It can be heated (to 210-230°C) and shaped, after which it cools and retains its new form. This makes it easy to mold for custom applications.
- Applications:
- Orthopedic and orthotic components (braces, soles).
- Footwear performance enhancement.
- Sports medicine and rehabilitation devices.
