Press release

Chomarat will give the 2012 JEC Europe a preview of the latest technical advances and the first parts obtained with C-PLY™ Bi-Angle, which makes use of innovative fibre orientations within the composite. By eliminating the fibres placed perpendicular to the main loading axis and/or using extremely thin plies (75G/M2), it is possible to develop completely new multiaxial materials. C-PLY™ Bi-Angle is a carbon reinforcement that makes it possible to manufacture even lighter and stronger composites more rapidly and cost effectively.

CHOMARAT presented the last results obtained with C-PLY™ 0/25, an unbalanced carbon bi-angle NCF during JEC Asia (18 – 20 October 2011, Singapore). This particular NCF can have plies using a tow spreading process resulting in a thickness as low as 75 gsm per ply or 150 gsm per bi-angle layer.

Cray Valley, Gazechim and Chomarat in cooperation with MVP/ Matrasur and Wacker organised on October 5th 2010 a conference on closed mould processes.

Around 60 people from the composite industry attended this day.

After an overview of the composite market trends and an update on the last evolutions of European Union Environmental regulation (REACH), the attendees assisted to four demos around closed mould processes :

• Injection of a part in RTM Light with Cray Valley low shrink resins (UPEX 091455)
• Infusion of a part with Chomarat ROVIFLOW™ NET1
• Moulding of a silicon membrane from Wacker
• Infusion by FLEX MOLDING process from MVP

These workshops highlighted benefits of each process in terms of :

• Productivity, and economical savings
• Industrialisation ease.
• Improvement of surface aspects.
• Anticipation of new environmental pressures.

At the end of the day, attendees have had the opportunity to discuss together about the development of closed mould processes and their environment

The Closed Mould Tour is now launched, and similar upcoming events will take place in several European regions in 2011.
