MATERIALS

Materials for composite repair can be hard to find in small quantities. A repair station might not need more than 10 yards of Kevlar 285 for a year's worth of work. Most weavers sell large bolts to manufacturers and do not want to roll off small quantities. CES understands that, and buys materials in larger quantities. We then break them down into small quantities for sale. All materials purchased will have conformity, and traceability. All materials can be purchased in large or small quantities.
