FIBRE REINFORCED PLASTICS - FIBREGLASS

Fibre reinforced plastics (FRP or Fibreglass) have the advantage of low tooling costs, high strength-to-weight ratios and the ability to create complex shapes that combine to make a range of purpose-specific parts.

Bolwell is an experienced OEM supplier and offers contract composites manufacturing services to industry. We can work to Mylar, dimensional drawing, sketch or CAD.

Our laminating technologies include open mould, hand or chopper gun lay up and closed mould lightweight RTM. The specific process used is based on individual production volumes and configuration.

Materials used include polyester, vinylester, epoxy and phenolic resins in combination with fibreglass, carbon fibre or kevlar reinforcements - depending on customer specification.

Our quality systems are ISO9001-2000 compliant and we deliver J.I.T.
RTM

LIGHTWEIGHT RTM

This is a closed mould process which provides uniform, repeatable wall thickness and a smooth finish on both faces. Although tooling costs are increased, production times are improved, wastage minimised and emissions reduced.

RAIL TRIM PANELING

Bolwell supplied FRP interior components for the Xtrapolis Connex trains.
Window trims and doors were made from fire retardant resin and were supplied as ready-to-fit sub-assemblies.

LOCAL ON-SITE SUPPORT

We understand that composites moulding usually requires a local presence. Accordingly, certain composite contracts warrant and would benefit from our being located close to our customer; it is part of our growth strategy to offer this service in the right circumstances.
We work with our customers in partnership for mutual benefit. 
We are proactive in our approach, and highly reactive to the needs of our customers.
