Types of Aerospace Composites
This overview helps engineers and procurement compare advanced composite materials for structural and interior aerospace use.
- CFRP , carbon fiber, for high stiffness to weight in wings, fuselage skins, fairings, and control surfaces.
- GFRP , glass fiber, for radomes, interiors, and panels where corrosion resistance and cost efficiency matter.
- Aramid, Kevlar , for impact resistance, vibration damping, and ballistic protection in nacelles and interior panels.
Explore our range of
advanced composite materials for layup, bonding, and finishing.
Manufacturing Methods and Material Readiness
Automated tape laying and automated fiber placement enable precise fiber orientation and repeatable quality at scale. To simplify production, we provide kitting and converting so materials arrive in the exact format your line requires. Pair aerospace composite materials with compatible composite resin systems and structural adhesives to streamline layup, cure, and assembly.
Certification, Documentation, and Traceability
We support qualification workflows for aerospace composite materials, including lot traceability, shelf life management, and certificates on request. Our team can guide data sheet review, process compatibility, and approved sourcing to help meet program and regulatory requirements.
What we provide:
- Certificates, COA and COC, on request
- Lot traceability and shelf life management
- Data sheets, storage and handling guidance
- Approved sourcing aligned to program specs

Composites FAQs
What composite materials do you stock for aerospace?
We supply prepregs and fibers, honeycomb core, composite resin systems, structural and film adhesives, primers, and coatings from leading manufacturers.How do I choose the right materials for my application?
Share your targets for stiffness to weight, cure schedule, and approved specs. Our team will recommend aerospace composite materials and compatible chemistries for your process.Do you provide certifications and lot traceability?
Yes. We offer certificates on request, COA and COC, lot traceability, and shelf life management to support qualification and program compliance.What storage and handling guidance do you provide?
Follow each data sheet for temperature and handling. Many materials require controlled storage. We advise on shipping, thaw times, and shop-ready formats.Which materials help reduce weight without sacrificing performance?
Lightweight composite materials such as CFRP support range and payload goals in airframes and control surfaces.Are there options suitable for marine or coastal environments?
Yes. Marine composite materials and coatings are available for corrosion resistance in hulls, decks, and offshore structures.Can you support layup and processing methods like ATL or AFP?
Yes. We can align materials to ATL or AFP workflows and provide kitting and converting so parts arrive in the format your line requires, part of our aerospace composite solutions.
