FIBER/LITE® fasteners and fastening devices
Advanced Products made of Composite for use with Composites
TIODIZE has developed a full range of FIBER/LITE fasteners and fastening devices made of state of the art composites. These products maintain high tensile, shear and fatigue strength at temperatures to 700°F.
FIBER/LITE can be processed into a variety of signature free, non-corrosive shapes and sizes equivalent in strength to aluminum at two thirds the weight.
These components are manufactured by compression, matched-die molding and show excellent dimensional stability through repeated heating/cooling cycles and exposure to water or water vapor, solvents and oils.
** Contact the TIODIZE Engineering Department to review your drawings and specifications. We look forward to working with you to develop composite parts that meet your requirements.
