Carbon, glass fiber, and graphite solutions for military marine applications

In the modern defense industry, maritime systems place the highest demands on materials and design. Ships and offshore platforms are exposed to extreme conditions such as saltwater, corrosion, constant mechanical stress, and temperature fluctuations.

SGL Carbon offers high-performance material solutions based on carbon, glass fiber, and graphite that have been specifically developed for use in military ship systems. Our materials enable lighter, more durable, and reliable structures for demanding maritime applications.

Wide range of applications in shipbuilding

Whether used in surface vessels, frigates, submarines, aircraft carriers, specialized marine platforms, or maritime protection systems, materials must combine high strength and stiffness with corrosion resistance and low weight. SGL Carbon’s broad materials portfolio includes fiber-reinforced composites, semi-finished fiber products, and graphite-based solutions that can be tailored to specific marine requirements. Typical applications range from structural and functional components to protective elements, shielding solutions, and parts exposed to thermal or chemical stress. This flexibility allows integration into different marine system architectures and manufacturing concepts.

Solutions for small and large series 

We support our customers from prototyping to series and mass production, with experience from high-volume applications (e.g., automotive). We also enable the manufacture of large structures, including extra-wide fabric production, and offer options to stack and join textile layers for preforms and composite manufacturing.
