LANTEX® GLASS & COMPOSITE TUBES
LANTEX® has been the leading name in Composite tubes for over 40 years. The tubes are made to the most exacting tolerances, and LANTEX quality is assured by strict compliance to ISO 9001:2000. Glass fibre reinforcements orientated in prescribed directions are combined with selected synthetic resin systems to produce parallel or tapered tubes with pre-determined characteristics, including:
•
Mechanical strength
• Density
• Resistance to chemicals & adverse
environments
• Rigidity and stiffness
• Thermal Stability
• Electrical
properties
• Dimensional stability
• Water absorption
Woven glass fabrics with the reinforcement equally distributed in the axial and circumferential directions in combination with resin systems such as epoxy, polyester, silicone, melamine and phenolic are used to produce a standard range of tubes. LANTEX COMPOSITE TUBES conform to National and International Standards. Where high strength, rigidity, toughness and low density are essentials, Langtec complement the above range using advanced composite materials including carbon, aramid and other materials either individually or in combination. Mechanical design can be inbuilt using the specific properties of fibres and resin systems. Our Technical Department can advise on the optimum use of these materials to meet specific requirements, and have test facilities available for technical assistance and customer assurance.

Twelve very good reasons for using Lantex Phenolic Bonded Kraft Paper or Cotton Fabric Tubes.
And there are other considerations, too. For example, we have a fully equipped machine shop which will undertake accurate drilling, boring, turning, rebating, notching, etc. to your drawings. Also when required tubes can be tested in our materials laboratory to ensure their conformity to national, international, or customer specifications and certificates of conformity supplied. LANGTEC holds ISO 9001:2000 approval and will comply fully with all quality control requirements.
