CSC COMPOSITES – Composite Boat and Yacht

Superyacht Equipment

The establishment of our company dates back to 1993. Our company, which was founded to realize various engineering projects, began to implement various structures, especially boats, using only composite materials through a radical change in 2010.

Due to the founding family’s passion for sailing and boats, the production of racing sailboats became the main concentration of our company in the initial stage. However, not only the main components of the boat, such as the hull and deck, but also the essential parts of a racing boat, such as carbon rudder, mast, and deck fittings, were chosen to be produced in-house to increase the company’s experience with different materials and production methods instead of sourcing them externally.

The boats we produce as CSC Composites have been exported to many countries around the world. These boats have made unparalleled contributions to our country’s success in this sector by ranking in the top 3 in the world’s most challenging and prestigious races, despite tough competitors and conditions.

During this process, high-tech composite productions have been carried out for various sectors, primarily the marine industry. Almost all of these products have been exported and started to be used in different parts of the world.

For more details about this period, you can visit our boats page.

In 2017, we brought to life all the chassis and body parts of Turkey’s first electric concept car using carbon fiber. In the following year, we started the mass production of French Phantom catamarans, known as hydrofoils, which were the most innovative platform of the time and flew above the water thanks to their wings. Within two years, we produced a total of 60 boats and wings and exported all of them.

What Is Composite Material?

Composite material, as the name implies, is a type of material that emerges when multiple materials come together and transform into a different form. To explain it in more detail, it is a material type that is formed by the combination of a structural material with a matrix material, which cannot provide strength on its own but becomes functional when combined with the other.

Therefore, composite materials can exist in many different types. For example, the material formed by the combination of steel bars and concrete is the most familiar and commonly used composite material type in various aspects of our lives.

The ones we refer to as high-tech composite materials are composed of glass, basalt, aramid, or carbon fibers and polyester, vinylester, or epoxy resin. Moreover, composite materials made of thermoplastic resin are finding their place in the market with increasing momentum.

There are three important factors that affect the properties of these materials. The first is the structural material, which we call fiber. The most commonly used types are generally glass and carbon. Additionally, there are various types such as aramid, fiber produced from a volcanic rock called basalt, and many types like polyethylene. These fibers, including carbon fibers, have many different types. For instance, carbon fibers are classified into four groups: standard modulus, intermediate modulus, high modulus, and ultra-high modulus.

In terms of resins, the basic classification is thermoset and thermoplastic. The commonly used resins are thermosets. The main ones include polyester, vinylester, epoxy, polyurethane, and acrylic.

Each of the aforementioned materials has its advantages and disadvantages. For example, polyester is the most affordable in terms of price but has the lowest mechanical properties. Vinylester is the most resistant to corrosion, thus it is preferred in a corrosive environment. Epoxy, on the other hand, is expensive in terms of price and requires more labor-intensive application, but it has the highest level of mechanical and physical properties.
