Michelin life-changing composites
What do seals, belts, conveyor belts, hoses, coated fabrics, resins, medical implants, and tires have in common? They are all “composites”!
What is a composite?
A composite is the combination of two or more materials with complementary properties resulting in an even better product. Composites are all around us in a host of different shapes and sizes. Designed for critical applications, they play a key role in protecting, cushioning, securing, bonding, sealing, and transporting what matters most.
Tires are the ultimate composite, and through the expertise developed in the materials used in its tires, Michelin is now applying its unique know-how to fields beyond tires, to applications that are transforming our everyday lives.
Michelin technology invests in demanding sectors such as mobility, construction, aeronautics, low-carbon energy, and healthcare.
