Application Highlights
Strength
Thermal Characteristics
Strength
Composites have a higher strength-to-weight ratio than most steel and aluminum alloys. Composites can also be tailored to add strength where needed without the need for additional components or support structures.
Thermal Characteristics
Composites have a very low rate of thermal conductivity and are the materials of choice in high heat high and/or humidity applications. Thermoset composites also have a high degree of dimensional stability and can withstand large variation in temperature exposure.
Corrosion Resistance
Corrosion Resistance
Give your products longer life and avoid quality problems and costly warranty claims from corrosion and chemical damage by substituting composites for traditional metals. Composites meet or exceed many challenging performance standards, while preventing rot and rust. CORE can assist you in designing corrosion and chemically resistance parts through the use of styrene monomers and custom formulations for application to specific products exposed to harsh environments.
Competitive Cost
North American Manufacturing Coverage
Competitive Cost
Composites often present lower tooling costs and the ability to combine multiple pieces into one component eliminating complexity, waste and assembly labor costs. With an industry-leading range of material and process options, CORE can collaborate with you to select the right combinations that optimize cost and performance for your specific project.
North American Manufacturing Coverage
In today's markets, the cost of transporting products has become a large portion of the overall cost equation. CORE has 7 strategic manufacturing locations throughout the US, Canada and Mexico. Diversified process capabilities, in conjunction with strategic locations, means it's likely CORE has a solution that is well-suited and convenient to your needs.
Application Specific Materials
Application Specific Materials
Unlike providers with only one material or process to offer, CORE has a variety of materials to meet the specific needs of your product. With both thermoset and thermoplastic capabilities, the expertise to specially formulate materials for your particular performance requirements, and a range of processes to fit your program parameters, CORE can customize a solution perfectly suited to meet your needs.
Durability
Large Press Expertise
Durability
Composites are known for durability due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to chemicals and corrosives. This makes composites an ideal choice for many demanding applications that experience heavy loading and fatigue cycling in harsh environments, typical of applications in this industry.
Large Press Expertise
CORE operates some of the highest tonnage compression and low-pressure injection molding presses in North America. These assets enable our customers to design large surface area, deep draw parts without the need for secondary assembly.
Program Support
Program Support
CORE has experience supporting programs of all types, from prototype through serial production. Whether your program launches with First Article Inspection (FAI) or a fully-developed Run-at-Rate PPAP approval, we have the talent, systems, and expertise to handle it. Using rigorous APQP processes in a Phase Gate approach, we turnkey the entire tooling development and production approval process. You can count on CORE for an on-time, flawless program launch.
Low Conductivity
Low Conductivity
The low electrical conductivity of composites and engineered plastics provides a benefit over traditional metals in application environments where spurious electrical currents and interference from electronic devices need to be managed.
