Advanced Structural Composites

Over the years Affan has committed significant time, money and resources in the field of carbon fibre engineering.
In close association with Airbus, the material has been developed into an extremely versatile, incredibly light yet strong substrate, suitable for a variety of applications.

Infusion technology allows the construction of a carbon and glass fibre core that can be “infused” with a finish to match the Architects specification

For example where a stainless steel finish is required, a 1mm 316 grade sheet can be infused with the carbon composite core to create a steel finished panel with a fraction of the weight. The same technology sees the use of limestone and granite, marble and aluminum. This is particularly useful where anodized finishes are preferred.

The technology is state of the art and up until recently only used in branches of aviation, automotive, wind energy and marine systems. Affans’ association as part of the CFK Valley Stade has facilitated the progression of this sophisticated material into then construction arena.
To date the technology has been used on the following types of constructions:
