Automotive & Consumer

In the auto industry, the use of carbon fiber reinforced materials is growing and creating the need for lightweight and non-corrosive fastening technologies. Consumer applications also benefit from the excellent strength to weight ratio, the total biocompatibility (lack of allergic response) and the absence of corrosion. Interesting new markets include:

• Sensors and wearable electronics
• Cardio devices and other handhelds
• Water resistant electronics
• Marine and sporting goods
• Lights and optics
• Microphones and speakers
