MoD Approved Range of Cellite Ali-Lam Panels

Combined in one product are the properties of aluminium and the attractive appearance and durability of a decorative laminate. Ali-Lam is approved by the Ministry of Defence for use on Royal Naval vessels and is tested to DERA/SMC/CR961050 Annex B and NES 711 and 713.

Equipment pods for RNLI lifeboats

Working closely with RNLI Naval Architects, Technical Resin Bonders designed and built the Equipment Pod for the new IB1 Off-Shore Lifeboat. This complex structure combines the use of advanced materials with the latest construction techniques to meet the challenges associated with its life-saving role. The Pod is fitted to the Bow Board, which is produced by precision CNC machining prior to being moulded using a closed mould resin injection method. This provides for high dimensional accuracy and total repeatability.

Other examples include:

• Bulkheads for offshore powerboats
• Panelling & furniture for luxury yachts
• Composite structures

To meet a diverse range of applications within the marine industry, Technical Resin Bonders have particularly developed a family of complementary products.
