Composites are materials made from (at least) two materials with different properties, which constitute matrix and reinforcement. The most common matrices are polymers, and to reinforce composites are used synthetic and natural fibers. Composites posses unique properties, which exceed the properties of the raw materials. Composites are used e.g. in transportation, construction and medicine.
BÜFA Composite Systems is extending its long-term collaboration with AOC Aliancys. From 3 March 2020, AOC Aliancys based in Collierville (USA) and Schaffhausen (Switzerland) will be responsible for the distribution of BÜFA specialities on the Italian composites market.
As of 3 March 2020, BÜFA Composite Systems will acquire Manningtree-based AOC (UK) Ltd, the leading UK supplier of composite products with over 25 years’ experience in providing distribution and mixing service.
Ineos Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, announces today that it is planning to set up a new production site for its successful composite StyLight.
The endless fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composite material Tepex dynalite from Lanxess has made a major contribution to the success of the FuPro project of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
At its site in Brilon, Germany, Bond-Laminates GmbH - a wholly owned subsidiary of specialty chemicals company Lanxess - has commissioned two new production lines for Tepex continuous-fiber-reinforced thermoplastic composites.
Partnership with materials AI leader Citrine Informatics.
Bond-Laminates at JEC World, March 12–14, 2019, Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center, hall 5, stand N33.
At JEC World 2019, Engel will be presenting a broad range of technologies based on examples from the automotive industry, from the processing of organic sheets and unidirectional tapes to in-situ polymerisation, HP-RTM and flow moulding with SMC.
From idea to series production-ready fiber composite solutions: At JEC World held from March 12 to 14 in Paris, KraussMaffei is highlighting its leading system expertise in developing and implementing series production-ready processes for fiber-reinforced lightweight construction.
For many companies in the composites industry, the trend towards thermoplastic materials means they have to deal with completely new processes. It is also the first injection moulding machine for the NCC and it's from Engel.
Glass and carbon fibre reinforced plastics are in demand when lightweight and forward-looking solutions are called for. This trend towards lightweight construction is currently one of the strongest drivers for the Composites industry.
