Continuous Composite Systems™ (CCS™)

Lightweight, ultra-high strength reinforcement

Continuous Composite Systems™ (CCS™) achieve ultra-strong and lightweight body structures at a cost-competitive rate. CCS™ technologies combines highly engineered sealants and adhesives with a fiber-reinforced composite carrier in a two-dimensional profile. This two-dimensional part is designed to provide strength, stiffness, and rigidity to a lightweight structure.

What is CCS™?

The lightweight, ultra-strong and cost-effective alternative to metal frame structural reinforcement

Continuous Composite Systems ™ (CCS™) are continuous fiber-reinforced composite materials that can be used as a carrier when combined with our highly engineered sealants and/or structural adhesives. The system is designed to provide strength, stiffness, and rigidity to a lightweight structure.

CCS™ enables a cost-effective reinforcement solution proven to be 75% lighter than steel and 30% lighter than aluminum. Our extensive pultrusion process allows us to manufacture straight parts with constant cross sections delivering consistent, high strength quality components.

When working with our customers, L&L’s team of engineers bring extensive CAE modeling capabilities and are able to produce and optimize unusual part designs, therefore, obtaining part validation before parts are created.

With our Continuous Composite Systems™ products and process, we deliver a cost effective, ultra-high strength reinforcement solution that brings extensive engineering knowledge, advanced CAE modeling, and the ability for adhesive use to create 3D shapes in a variety of applications.

Product Family

Our CCS™ technologies are composed of a variety of forms including: CCS™ Co-Ex, CCS™ Set, CCS™ Hybrid, and CCS™ Extreme. Due to its many forms, CCS™ offers a number of unique attributes in terms of material and fiber choice for a variety of applications.

CCS™ Co-Ex is a combination of continuous glass filled nylon co-extruded with adhesive to create a continuous cross section with multiple materials.

CCS™ Set is a continuous glass reinforced two-dimensional profile designed to provide strength, stiffness, and rigidity to a straight profile.

CCS™ Hybrid utilizes a custom combination of continuous glass, carbon, and fabrics to provide targeted strength, stiffness, and rigidity in a straight profile.

CCS™ Extreme is a highly reinforced two-dimensional continuous carbon fiber profile designed to provide ultimate strength, stiffness, and rigidity to a straight profile.

Potential Applications

CCS™ delivers ultra-high strength reinforcement solutions with extensive engineering knowledage, advanced CAE modeling, and expertise in adhesives in a variety of applications. Our highly experienced engineering team works with our customers to design the CCS™ parts matching the specific requirements. Applications include reinforcing members for vehicle uni-bodies, frame sections for tube-frame vehicle constructions, or battery frames for electric vehicles.
