Plastics — Used in Every Walk of Life

Plastics, composites, and engineered materials are used for everything from:

  • Packaging to keep food fresh and frozen food free from freezer-burn
  • Construction materials
  • The hulls of aeronautical vehicles
  • Gaskets for HVAC applications
  • Light-weight automobiles
  • Medical devices, prosthetics, and biomed innovations

What Does Globe Composite Solutions Make with Plastics?

Composites can be made with properties to ward off germs and infections; unlike simple plastic, composites can be made to be antimicrobial or antibacterial.
