Through a unique thermoplastic pultrusion process FULCRUM™ technology offers the combination of high mechanical properties with excellent toughness and damage tolerance for structural applications. The thermoplastic matrix provides greater design freedom, allowing profiles to be post-formed and over-extruded. FULCRUM offers many environmental advantages including elimination of VOC emissions and ability to be recycled.

To facilitate the rapid development of applications we offer a wide range of design and development services including computer modeling, finite element analysis, small runs, process development and broad alliances with other processors.

Fulcrum Composites is a portfolio company of North Coast Technology Investors, LP.

FULCRUM™ Thermoplastic Composites are produced from an engineering thermoplastic polyurethane (ETPU) matrix using the patented FULCRUM Technology process. FULCRUM Technology has no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and can produce solid and hollow profiles using pultrusion techniques. FULCRUM Composite materials typically have high strength and stiffness, greater toughness, and better damage tolerance than most thermoset materials. Additionally, FULCRUM Composites can be produced at higher speeds with greater design freedom than typical pultrusion processes. And, scrap material from FULCRUM Composites can be recycled and used in other thermoplastic processes...
