Industry sectors
Ilium manufactures and distributes fiberglass reinforcement using a new and unique process technology.
Marine
Ilium’s glass fiber reinforcements with integrated synthetic veils offer unrivalled performance in fiber print, osmosis and blister resistance, corrosion protection and thermal cycling.
Applications include:
- Skin coat replacement
- Vinyl ester barrier coat can be removed
- Hulls
- Decks
- Doors and hatches
- Hard tops and canopies
Applications include:
- Interior panels
- Exterior panels
- Bumpers and structural parts
- Train toilet modules
- Seats
- Driver consoles
- EN 45545 and ASTM 162 / 662 compliant
Transport
Ilium’s ULTImat® and FLEXmat® brands are widely used in mass transport applications where there is need to produce lightweight, highly aesthetic and low maintenance panels. In transport, composites are regularly replacing metal alternatives due to the versatility, corrosion resistance and long life. Our ULTImat® range is extensively used on trains, trucks, busses and cars.
Applications include:
- Cladding and façade panels
- Suspended ceilings and dome roof systems
- Decorative and weather proof panels
- Composite bridge profiles
Architecture & construction
Composites allows architectural and infrastructure design to be increasingly more creative and push the boundaries of conventional structures. Ilium is a trusted supplier of materials which add value at both the design and manufacture stages, whilst producing materials which conform to the most stringent international standards.
Applications include:
- Gratings and railing profiles
- Ladders
- Industrial cable trays
- Utility poles and boxes
- Roofing shingles
- Window frame profiles
Industrial & Corrosion
Chemical plants and coastal areas are highly corrosive to metal. The cost to maintain and replace these parts means composite alternative are increasingly preferred. Ilium products are naturally resistant to chemical attack, due to the light weight incorporated surfacing veil and the use of E-CR glass fiber.
Applications include:
- Wind turbine nacelles
- Spinners and nose cones
- Pipe renovation (CIPP)
- Sub sea oil pipe covers
Energy
Renewable energy relies heavily on composites and innovative solutions to drive the cost per Mwh down to traditional levels using fossil fuels. Thanks to the unique technology, Ilium’s value added materials offer the highest quality without demanding a high premium.
Applications include:
- Water slides, opaque and translucent
- Horse trailers
- Caravans and recreational vehicles
- Theme park displays
Sports & leisure
Ilium supplies extensively to the sports and leisure industries, offering solutions and advantages not available elsewhere. Especially in aesthetics, translucency and non-gelcoated sides of composite panels.
Applications include:
- Transoms
- Water cooling towers
- Hatch covers
- Canopies
- Fan shrouds
- Electrical cabinets
Utilities
The marine industry has always been an innovator in the field of composites. Our glass-fiber reinforcement products are extensively used in marine applications, providing strength, corrosion resistance, and improved surface finish.
