Bespoke Composite Solutions
Customised Product Formulations
To create bespoke solutions for either FRP composite or Tuftane® TPU film products, Permali takes high-quality raw material base polymer grades and creates its own resin formulations and TPU polymer grade blends.
High-quality speciality additives, fillers and pigments are used in bespoke product formulations to meet any regulatory standards and to provide the aesthetic and performance properties for an end-user application.
Permali particularly specialises in manufacturing advanced composite systems with excellent ballistic and blast resistance, as well as materials with high levels of chemical resistance, electrical insulation, thermal insulation and fire protection from flames, smoke and toxic fume emissions.

Research & Development
Permali has an ongoing investment programme in Research & Development (R&D) and materials development to meet changing customer and market needs.
The R & D team is focused on evaluating new materials, developing new bespoke product solutions and optimising manufacturing techniques to yield the maximum performance for any given application.
Rapid prototyping and access to in-house ‘pilot scale’ manufacturing facilities enable bespoke new product development (NPD) prototypes to be tested and modified at pace, speeding up the NPD process for Permali customers.
Permali’s on-site laboratory is equipped to carry out most mechanical and flammability testing. Ballistic and mine blast testing is performed at a number of independent and Ministry of Defence (MoD) approved test ranges across the UK.
