Product Name: Plastic Composites/Cable Protection Systems

Product Description

Quadrant Plastic Composites manufactures thermoplastic composites consisting of thermoplastics (mainly polypropylene) in combination with reinforcement in the form of glass mats, glass fibre and polyester fabrics, or natural fibres such as kenaf, sisal, flax and hemp. This combination of materials results in properties such as rigidity, formability, weight reduction, noise absorption or benign crash behaviour. In the automotive industry the sheets of semi-finished material are processed further by customers using large-volume pressing processes into complex components which have to meet the highest standards. Quadrant Plastic Composites is the world's leading manufacturer of glass mat thermoplastics (GMT). Quadrant's latest family of materials - SymaLITE - is an innovative lightweight composite structural material which sets new standards with regard to weight, noise absorption and formability. Quadrant Cable Protection Systems is Switzerland's leading manufacturer of cable protection conduits and formed parts made from polyethylene. The cable protection conduits, which are marketed under the Symalit name, protect power and telecom cables against external influences. The main focus of attention in this respect is on high load-bearing capacity, flame-retardance and the ability to lay the conduits even in very difficult terrain. In addition to the traditional range of products, Quadrant also offers its customers in the electrical utilities, telecommunications and construction industries complete systems solutions.
