What is CCS™?
LIGHTWEIGHT, ULTRA-HIGH STRENGTH REINFORCEMENT
L&L Continuous Composite Systems™ (CCS™) are ultra-high strength, lightweight reinforcement solutions that combine continuous fiber-reinforced composites with engineered sealants and adhesives. Designed in a two-dimensional profile, CCS™ delivers exceptional stiffness, rigidity, and structural integrity—at a fraction of the weight of traditional materials.
Through advanced pultrusion manufacturing and CAE modeling, CCS™ offers consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and design flexibility across a wide range of applications—from automotive to infrastructure.
- Ultra-high strength-to-weight ratio—up to 75% lighter than steel and 30% lighter than aluminum
- Cost-effective manufacturing with low line rates and inexpensive die costs
- Nonconductive, corrosion-resistant, and thermally stable
- Consistent quality and dimensional accuracy for reliable performance
- Extensive engineering expertise with advanced CAE modeling and design validation
