A composite material based on E-glass fibre is fabricated with added additives. This fabrication process deals with manufacturing aspects, which are preparing the mould, cutting the fibre, preparing the resin and hardener mixture, adding the additives and final layup for compression. By changing the additive combination, different specimens are made and these specimens are inspected for their heat dispersion quality at high temperatures and durability after the exposure to high temperature. The final result showed the fabrication process was successful as all the fibre layers of the specimens were intact throughout the testing process. The samples with additives graphite, alumina trihydrate and fumed silica showed better structural rigidity even after the exposure to high temperatures.
