Marine, Sport and Civil Engineering
Boat designers use advanced composites to make boats lighter, stronger and more efficient. Gurit has over 20 years experience in working together with the leading boat builders and designers. Gurit's unique approach integrates structural design, materials science, manufacturing technology, and process engineering. This has led to a number of notable "firsts", such as being first to provide a monocoque hull shell solution for race boats. Gurit materials and technologies are today also widely used in the top segment of series production boats.
Sport is another interesting field for high-end composites. Gurit has a long tradition in developing composite and thermoplastic solutions for the winter sports industry, achieving highly skilled solutions ski racers and pleasure skiers alike need for uncompromising performance. Gurit materials offer smoothness, durability, low weight and resistance to wide temperature variations and can be combined expertly with other materials such as steel and foam to create high performance surface foils and running bases for skis and snowboards.
In civil engineering, carbon and other composite solutions are ideal to repair structural damage, upgrade existing structures and largely extend the life span of a wide array of construction materials. After more than 10 years of partnering key construction companies and authorities, Gurit is one of the technology leaders in this field. Thermoplastic prepregs are another interesting avenue for new applications in demanding areas of civil engineering such as oil and gas excavation.
