Winter sports

Oschatz-Glas products are used in a wide range of applications in the sports and leisure sector. Whether in winter or water sports, leading manufacturers of skis or sports boats rely on the outstanding properties of our composite materials. The combination of extreme rigidity and very low weight means that our products provide optimum conditions for speed sports.

Boat building

As a result of its outstanding mechanical properties, roving fabrics, mats and multiaxial fabrics are ideal for boat building. The material is mainly used for hull and deck production to ensure maximum strength and weight savings. Thanks to their excellent properties, our materials are used in the manufacture of everything from rowing boats to ocean-going yachts.

Surfing

Surfboards must have special properties that can only be achieved through the materials used. The core material usually consists of rigid foam. Glass fiber in polyester or epoxy resin is used to coat the boards. This structure ensures the boards have the required lightness and buoyancy in the water.

Winter sports

Winter sports equipment, such as skis and snowboards, require materials with low friction, high strength and rigidity. Despite the required properties, our materials impress with their excellent strength-to-weight ratio and are therefore ideal for the manufacture of all winter sports equipment.
