ORVIM processes and transforms high-performance fiber-reinforced composite materials (FRP) designed for highly demanding industrial applications. By combining natural or synthetic fibers with thermosetting or thermoplastic matrices, we create customized solutions that ensure:

  • High stiffness-to-weight ratio
  • Dimensional and thermal stability
  • Electrical and thermal insulation
  • Chemical and mechanical resistance
  • Reduced friction and wear

 

The materials processed by ORVIM are used in the aerospace, railway, automotive, marine, medical, and food packaging sectors, in full compliance with the most stringent technical and environmental standards (e.g., FDA, EU 10/2011).

Among the main materials processed by ORVIM:

Reinforced Resins + Carbon Fiber
Structural material with high elastic modulus, low density, and minimal thermal expansion. Used in tie rods, frames, UAV components, robotics, and industrial design. Ideal for reducing weight without compromising structural integrity.

 

Reinforced Resins + Glass Fiber
Excellent thermal and chemical resistance with superior insulating properties. Applied in rigid and flexible shields, technical panels, high-temperature protective components, and electrical parts.

 

Reinforced Resins + Aramid Fiber (Kevlar)
Outstanding tensile strength, high resilience, and excellent impact resistance. Used in protective devices, racing automotive components, and mechanical transmissions.

 

Reinforced Resins + Natural Fabrics (Paper or Cotton)
Natural reinforcement (paper or cotton) impregnated with phenolic resins and low-friction additives (PTFE, MoS₂). Ideal solutions for dry-running mechanisms in harsh environments, eliminating the need for lubrication.

 

High-Performance Engineering Polymers
Production and machining of PEEK, PTFE, POM, PPS, PEI, and other thermoplastic materials for applications requiring:

  • Low moisture absorption
  • High dimensional stability
  • Excellent dielectric and tribological properties
  • Compliance with FDA and ISO standards
Carbon Fiber

High-performance composite material with a density approximately 70\% lower than steel and 30\% lower than aluminum. It provides excellent mechanical strength, a high elastic modulus, and outstanding thermal and chemical stability. Ideal for applications requiring maximum lightness, structural rigidity, and resistance in critical environments.

Glass Fiber

Lightweight composite material with good mechanical properties and a balanced elastic modulus. It offers excellent thermal insulation and high-temperature stability. Used both in rigid structures and flexible applications, such as thermal insulation protections for robots and industrial components exposed to thermal stress.

Kevlar

High-strength synthetic aramid fiber characterized by exceptional toughness, low specific weight, and excellent thermal stability. Extremely resistant to impact, abrasion, heat, moisture, and chemical agents. Ideal for aerospace applications, high-performance automotive components, and protective devices in critical environments.

Self Lubricant Materials

Materials made from paper or cotton fiber substrates impregnated with phenolic resins and enhanced with PTFE (Teflon) or molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂). Designed to provide a low friction coefficient without the need for lubrication. An ideal solution for moving components subject to wear, especially in environments where the use of conventional lubricants is not possible.

Technopolymer plastic materials

Engineering plastics such as POM, PSU, PPS, PEI, PTFE, and PEEK, selected for their excellent tribological (sliding) properties, low moisture absorption, high dimensional stability, and thermal resistance. Suitable for critical applications in the food, medical, and industrial sectors, compliant with FDA regulations and designed for long-term operational durability.
