Automotive
We are actively engaged in the serial production and prototyping of thermoplastic composite components for the automotive industry. Some key projects have involved components for vehicles such as:
- SUVs: The team has prototyped glass fibre polypropylene (GF/PP) rear doors for SUVs, combining excellent mechanical properties with incredible impact performance.
- Buses: ÉireComposites has produced composite bumpers for buses from GF/PP using our patented MechTool® technology, which offers a cost-effective solution with critical impact performance.
- Formula 1 Cars: For a Formula 1 racing team, we developed a CF/PEEK rocker to replace the existing aluminum forging, resulting in a component that is 30% lighter and performs well at high service temperatures (150ºC) under severe fatigue loading. Additionally, we have developed technology for producing thermoplastic crash tubes for automotive applications.
Automotive Projects
We are on the road to an innovative future. Our commitment is to accelerate the development of sustainable solutions that pave the way for a greener, more efficient future. Buckle up and join us on this transformative journey!
Sport
ÉireComposites has developed an award-winning saddle that enhances comfort for both horse and rider across all gaits. The saddle features a cantilevered tree made from thermoplastic composite material, making it economical, water-resistant, and robust. This innovative technology reduces saddle weight by 60% and earned the JEC Innovation Award for Sports and Leisure in 2016.
