LYB engineered composites are thermosetting molding compounds designed for exceptional mechanical performance in the most demanding environments. These nonconductive or semiconductive materials are built to handle heavy-duty use, making them ideal for harsh, high-temperature and high-load applications. With metal-like strength and stability — without the weight or conductivity — they offer a smart alternative to traditional metal casting or fabrication, especially when corrosion resistance and electrical insulation matter.
Composite solutions
Our engineered composites portfolio includes three global product families — each developed to meet specific structural, thermal and aesthetic requirements across industries. Available in bio-based and styrene-free grades, they support weight reduction, corrosion resistance and long-term durability.
