Preserved engineering record

A well documented issue with high strength composites is their poor resistance to shattering and "spalling" upon impact.

This can propel shards of high tensile strength material onto a race track, inside an aircraft, at the scene of a vehicle accident, on a hockey rink, or increase the risk of a catastrophic penetration in defense or aerospace.

Kubota Research's P-Wave™ ImpacGard™ Enhances Composite Impact Resistance Hockessin, Delaware - February 28, 2006.

headquartered in Hockessin, Delaware, has developed a new method to significantly increase the impact and shatter resistance of composite materials, which is easily applied as a post treatment.

Kubota Research and DuPont-Toray Develop Breakthrough Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite: RuBA® -C Hockessin, Delaware - September 28, 2005.

with headquarters in Tokyo, Japan announce a novel manufacturing method for a fiber reinforced thermoplastic composite without degrading the high tenacity fiber, which is a major revolution in the composite industry.
