MOBILITY
Improving sustainability while increasing cost-efficiency
Our focus with HealTech™ is to bring repairability to parts that suffer from frequent damage, and constantly recover all mechanical properties with our embedded healing technology.
CompPair strives to deliver sustainable and cost-effective solutions that elevate performance while reducing waste. With HealTech™, we offer unparalleled versatility and adaptability, ensuring that every mobility application achieves optimal performance and longevity.
Reduced
downtime
HealTech™ brings an in-situ repair that is 400x faster than standard composite repair. Reduced downtime reduces maintenance costs.
High
performance
After repair, composites have a full recovery of mechanical properties, maintaining a high performance throughout their whole lifetime.
Improved
sustainability
Future waste is prevented due to the ability to repair instead of replacing composite parts. The extended lifetime reduces material use.
Operational
efficiency
The reduction of defects during production allows to increase operational efficiency.
Microcracks
reduction
HealTech™ composites can repair microcracks in the matrix while maintaining initial technical properties.

Application Examples
Sandwich panels on Gunboat yachts for adhesion repair
Gunboat, a leader in high-performance cruising catamarans, is using HealTech™ in their yacht construction. This offers two major advantages for boatbuilders: weight savings from lighter panels and a dramatic reduction in repair time by 99%. Initial tests conducted at Gunboat's factory demonstrate that dents on HealTech™ panels can be repaired in 2 minutes without affecting the paint, a significant improvement over previous repair times of 2 days.
Towpregs for tank applications with ESA
CompPair is applying its healable technology to towpreg manufacturing for cryo tank applications. Conducted under ESA contract n°4000140708 within the OSIP framework, it aims to prevent micro-cracks in cryo tanks, even at extremely low temperatures. Furthermore, HealTech™ technology allows for the creation of type 5 tanks without internal liners, offering improved durability and efficiency.
Carbon rims with Kling
Carbon rims are particularly subject to impacts due to the wheel during use, often receiving damage, which can significantly affect the handling and control of vehicles, and lower the performance and quality of driving. As heavy stresses develop in the rim, fatigue grows, leading to the premature end of life of a wheel rim. CompPair and Kling Technology have manufactured a healable carbon rim with a high quality performance, allowing multiple repairs to extend the lifetime and quality of wheel rims.
Leading edge with the Swiss Solar Boat
In support to the EPFL Swiss Solar Boat, we sponsored the team by providing our healable composites. The boat's leading edge was manufactured with our prepregs to enable an ultra fast repair of the part.

Multiple repair
Gunboat, a leader in high-performance cruising catamarans, has partnered with CompPair to use HealTech™ in their boat construction. This collaboration offers two major advantages for boatbuilders: weight savings from lighter panels and a dramatic reduction in repair time by 99%. HealTech™ allows Gunboat to swiftly repair internal panels, minimizing downtime and maintaining the yacht's appearance. Initial tests conducted at Gunboat's factory demonstrate that dents on HealTech™ panels can be repaired in just 2 minutes without affecting the paint, a significant improvement over previous repair times of up to 2 days.
SANDWICH PANELS ON GUNBOAT - ADHESION REPAIR
CompPair is leading innovation in the space industry by applying its healable technology to Towpreg manufacturing for cryo tank applications. This work, conducted under ESA Contract No. 4000140708 within the OSIP framework, aims to prevent micro-cracks in cryo tanks, even at extremely low temperatures. Furthermore, HealTech™ technology allows for the creation of type 5 tanks without internal liners, offering improved durability and efficiency.

SWISS SOLAR BOAT
In support to the EPFL Swiss Solar Boat team, we sponsored the team by providing our healable composites. The boat's leading edge was manufactured with our prepregs to enable an ultra-fast repair of this part.
CompPair collaborated closely with the team’s equipment managers and athletes to develop a healable hockey stick prototype.
Utilizing advanced composite materials and innovative design techniques, the new stick boasted a unique healing mechanism that repaired minor damages during play, effectively prolonging its lifespan.
Les résultats

Une équipe de hockey professionnelle était confrontée à des problèmes récurrents avec ses crosses, les impacts et les contraintes fréquents entraînant des remplacements coûteux et des performances compromises.
À la recherche d'une solution durable qui permettrait non seulement d'améliorer la durabilité, mais aussi de conserver l'agilité et la réactivité requises au plus haut niveau de compétition, ils se sont tournés vers Comppair pour obtenir de l'aide.
Le défi
2.
L'introduction de la crosse de hockey guérissable de Comppair a transformé le paysage de l'équipement de l'équipe.
Les athlètes ont connu une réduction des temps d'arrêt dus aux pannes d'équipement, ce qui leur a permis de se concentrer sur leurs performances sans interruption. De plus, la durabilité et la réactivité accrues de la crosse se sont traduites par une amélioration de l'agilité sur la glace, de la précision des tirs et de la performance globale du jeu.
