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