Composite Rods

Non-metallic composite load-bearing rod, braided, made of E-glass fiber and a thermosetting resin. Designed for cable reinforcement applications, facilitating traction, torsion, and bending.

More info

Coated composite rods

JITEC rods coated with a thermoplastic sheath made of polypropylene, polyamide, or polyurethane. Specifically designed for cable routing and pulling over long distances in conduits.

More info

Polymer melt spinning

Melt spinning, in mono- or bi-component, monofilament, and multifilament polymers, enabling the processing of all thermoplastic polymers with transformation temperatures up to 400 °C (PA11 / PA12 / RPA6 / PC / PEI, TPE, PPS, and PEEK)

Fibers improvement

Functionalization of various types of fibers. This may involve material assembly, commingling, functionalization through liquid impregnation, powder coating, sheathing, or finishing by braiding or overbraiding.

Requirement
End use
Environment in which your product will be used
Desired technical characteristics
Desired length and diameter
COUSIN® brand or white label

Research & industrialization

Our design office will then examine the feasibility of your request.
All technical and mechanical criteria are analyzed, including raw materials, assembly, construction, processing, finishing, and packaging.
If development is possible, the sales team will send you a quote and delivery time.

Prototype design

After approval of the quote and technical file, a prototype can be tested before being sent to you. We can have your product certified by the organization of your choice.

Lab testing

All our products undergo rigorous laboratory testing: breaking strength, impact strength, elongation, flexibility, knotability, sheath slippage, water shrinkage, etc.
All testing complies with the various ISO regulations and European standards in force.
Additional tests can be carried out on request.

Validation & production

Your request is ready for industrialization.
We are committed to meeting the deadline.
