The Implicit project focuses on recycling single-use auxiliary materials from composite manufacturing, such as vacuum bags, films and technical fabrics. Its goal is to recover raw materials for applications including automotive, technical textiles and urban furniture.
Targi w Krakowie has announced a series of industrial events to be held at EXPO Kraków in autumn 2026. The promotional campaign highlights the combination of technology, industry and relationships between market participants.
Envalior has conducted a life cycle assessment for Tepex dynalite 104-RG600(x)/47% composite, critically reviewed by TÜV SÜD. The company has also developed a version of the material based entirely on sustainable raw materials, with an approximately 50% lower carbon footprint.
SABIC has introduced the Ultem SU3102P reactive oligomer, a toughening agent for thermoset composites used in aerospace structures. The material is intended to enable high loadings while maintaining low formulation viscosity and process compatibility.
Syensqo has signed a new long-term supply agreement with Avio for composite materials and adhesive solutions for space applications. The agreement covers, among others, Vega-C launch systems and low Earth orbit missions.
At Techtextil 2026, BASF will present solutions for technical textiles and nonwovens, including materials based on recycled and biocircular feedstocks as well as binder and membrane technologies. The display will also include projects developed with industry partners.
Xenia Materials introduces the HM Upgrade technology based on high modulus carbon fibres, which increases the stiffness and strength of thermoplastic composites without changing their density, addressing demanding structural applications.
On 7–8 October 2026, the 14th edition of the Kompozyt-Expo trade fair, one of Poland's key events dedicated to composite materials and technologies, will take place in Krakow.
At JEC World 2026, Wacker is presenting the new impact modifiers Genioperl W37 and W38 for thermosetting resins and the silicone compound Powersil Resin 710 for manufacturing components in thermal class R.
At JEC World 2026 in Paris, Envalior will present new Tepex and UDea thermoplastic composites for aviation, drones and hydrogen applications, offering a lightweight, recyclable alternative to thermoset composites.
At JEC World 2026, ENGEL will present a fully automated, scalable process for series production of thermoplastic composite rotor blades for drones, based on tape-sandwich injection moulding technology. The solution combines high strength, noise reduction and recyclability.
At JEC World 2026 in Paris, KraussMaffei will present a wide portfolio of composite and additive solutions, including LFI structural components, high-temperature plastic parts, and the powerPrint Flex and powerPrint Plus systems.
