Extended performance and sustainability
At CompPair, we are dedicated to revolutionizing the sports industry by crafting healable composite solutions that extend the lifetime of sports equipment. Our cutting-edge technology ensures durability, resilience, and unmatched performance.
Our healable composite structures offer several benefits, from enhancing the longevity of your sports equipment to providing unparalleled strength and flexibility on the field, court, or track. We avoid frequent replacements, increase the lifetime of sports goods and reduce waste.
Maintain performance for longer
HealTech™ brings a higher toughness and the capacity to repair reduced performances.
Sustainability through lifetime extension
The HealTech™ technology enables to repair composite damage in the matrix, including delamination, microcracks and scratches.
Increased customer
satisfaction
Increased damping allows better and constant performances throughout the whole lifetime of the composite part.
Increased lifetime value
HealTech™ composites can repair damage in the matrix over 60 times, while maintaining the initial technical properties.
Repair instead of replacing
400x faster than conventional repair times in the industry, this drastic reduction allows to reduce maintenance costs and downtime.
