MARINE
The marine sector is no stranger to composite materials which are a key factor in achieving lightweight construction.
ARCHITECTURAL
Architects and building professionals are continuously searching for alternatives to traditional materials used in construction.
TRANSPORTATION
Composite materials provide strength, lower vehicle weight and improved energy efficiency in transportation applications.
INDUSTRIAL
Composite materials have been supplied into numerous industries where design flexibility, performance and durability are critical.
About the Product
DuFLEX Composite Panels were specifically developed to reduce construction time and optimise structural weight in the production of light weight composite structures. Time-consuming laminating, coring and vacuum bagging steps normally required to fabricate high performance composites are avoided and material waste, labour and tooling costs are greatly reduced.
ATL Composites
ATL Composites was initially established in 1977, manufacturing epoxy systems to service the professional boat construction market in the Asia Pacific region. In 1980, ATL Composites expanded by opening a facility in Sydney and in 1989, re-located to the current location on Queensland’s Gold Coast.
DuFLEX® Composite Panels were developed in the early 1990’s, as a value-added product range that would reduce boat construction time and optimise structural weight.
ATL Composites performance over the past 40 years has established them as a leading supplier of advanced composite materials and engineering, for the construction of high performance, composite structures in Australia and internationally.
Certificates
ATL Composites is ISO 9001:2015 certified and received their Certificate of Registration # 2600251777Q on April 4 2018.
