All composite molded products are made of fiberglass cloth and matting materials. These two ballistic materials are then wrapped in exterior layers of carbon fiber. The two materials, fiberglass & carbon fiber, are then infused with a high viscosity, flexible resin polymer.

RPM Composites chose to use these multiple materials to gain the exact properties for which the materials were intended. Fiberglass cloth is an abrasion- and impact-resistant material that can be built up into layers to provide a desired thickness. Carbon fiber when molded forms a very rigid structure yet, carbon fiber alone is not worthy of ballistic impact. By using both materials together they share each other’s specific properties of impact distribution and rigidity. By infusing them with a high-viscosity resin, these cloth materials become extremely durable yet flexible. Current resin technology allows for molded parts to have a super flexible memory characteristic without sacrificing durability or visual clarity of the specific composite part.
