Applied FibreMatrix India (AFMI)

AFMI is a Composites „Manufacturer‟ based out of Pune.

The Promoters of AFMI are well established Technocrats and

Entrepreneurs with an extensive combined experience of 40+

years in sectors viz. Engineering, Procurement and

Construction (EPC); Infrastructure; Communication;

Composites for Automobile, Defense, Aviation, Utilities and

Electrical Industries.

Applied FibreMatrix India, envisions to leverage its

capacity and capability with focus on Sheet Molding

Compound (SMC) Composite with existing and future

facilities to cater to the ever growing demand of this

futuristic material and provide world class and “state of

the art” Products and Solutions for various sectors.

• A composition of two or more physically and chemically

different materials having significantly different

properties, when combined produce a single material

with characteristics totally different from its individual

components.

• Composites are thus a polymer matrix , reinforced with

fiber which is either carbon, aramid, natural or glass

fibre. The polymer matrix is either a thermoplastic or a

thermoset resin.

What are Composites?

a. SMC (Sheet Molding Compound) Composite is an ideally suited futuristic

material of construction having the following benefits as compared to

conventional material used today.

Increased Durability – 25+ years.

Enhanced Aesthetics.

Light Weight

Improved Strength v/s conventional material viz. steel etc.

Chemical Resistant

Flame retardant – UL 94 V0 Compliant

Cost Competitive

b. SMC Composite is a globally accepted alternative to conventional material in

various sectors namely Automotive, Electrical, Defence , Aeronautical,

Space, Construction and many other sectors

Why use Composites?
