Fiberglass is one of the most common polymer composite reinforcements, and carbon fiber is one of the strongest. Three common ways this can be done are 1) in a way that creates a woven structure, 2) by placing the fiber fabric into a mold that is injected with resin, or 3) by pultrusion, where the fibers are pulled through resin and then shaped and cured in a heated die. Pultrusion is one way that advanced composite materials can be manufactured.

If the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer are held by the same person or if the Chairman of the Board is otherwise not an independent director, the Board, upon recommendation from the Governance and Corporate Responsibility Committee, will select one of the independent directors who has served for at least one year on the Board to serve as the Lead Director. Service on Other Boards A director who is an executive officer of the Company may, with the permission of the Board, serve on only one additional public company board. All such actions, interpretations and determinations that are done or made by the Board in good faith will be final, conclusive and binding. 2.

Additionally, color can be integrated into the additive in a Smartbatch™ combination concentrate for seamless incorporation of both color and stain-resistance efficacy in the fiber with the spin-dyeing (dope-dyeing) process, a one-in-one fiber manufacturing and dyeing method using no water. 

Some supply issues, such as the ones caused by the scarcity of substances and raw material shortages, are complex and difficult to overcome on short notice, especially in the healthcare area, due to high safety standards. This compliance testing, combined with the support of our healthcare experts, can make transfers of projects involving custom products from one region to another easier and faster.

This is a feature that no one else can offer, giving us a clear competitive advantage.” As one final benefit, Brooks is regrinding and reusing its post-industrial scrap, further reducing its environmental footprint.

But for a global medical device manufacturer time had stood still for a key component in one of its products.  When the company decided to redesign this critical valve insert for one of its medical pumps, the project was beset with problems.

This dissipation is typically handled by a heat sink, but the aluminum one used by the company was becoming a problem. It wanted to adapt the existing mold to accommodate the new material so it could avoid the time and capital expense of having a new one built.
