Original firm spun-out of The Dow Chemical Company to accelerate the commercialization of developed technology, Fulcrum Composites Inc had produces FULCRUM Thermoplastic Composites developed from an engineering thermoplastic polyurethane (ETPU) matrix using the patented FULCRUM Technology process. FULCRUM Technology has no volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions and can produce solid and hollow profiles using pultrusion techniques. FULCRUM Composite materials typically have high strength and stiffness, greater toughness, and better damage tolerance than most thermoset materials. Additionally, FULCRUM Composites can be produced at higher speeds with greater design freedom than typical pultrusion processes. And, scrap material from FULCRUM Composites can be recycled and used in other thermoplastic processes. Fulcrum Thermoplastic Composite Tube and Rod Products are produced with a proprietary rigid engineering thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. The combination of ductile thermoplastic matrix with high strength continuous fibers results in excellent strength and stiffness combined with superior toughness. The resin offers excellent resistance to a broad range of chemicals, including acids, bases and organic liquids
