Merkel Comoposite Technology - Construction Applications

Innovative Composite And Carbon Fiber Products For A Stronger And Safer Future

Structural Solutions

Merkel Composite Technologies has developed a patented process for the manufacture of composite structural panels (CSIPs'). The resulting “green” C-SIP has superior insulation and strength. They also are lighter in weight that conventional SIP panels, saving money on shipping costs and reducing on site equipment costs.

In addition, Merkel has created additional patented enhancements that have life-saving and mission-critical capabilities for the military. Below are some of the benefits and advantages of Merkel C-SIP panels.
