JEC COMPOSITES MAGAZINE - Issue #33 - June 2007 - 14

INNOVATIONS Epoxy tooling block INNOVATIONS Once again this year, the JEC Composites Show was the event companies chose as the place to reveal their innovations to the market. In a past issue of JEC Composites Magazine, we presented a first round of about a hundred innovations; here is a second one for you, just as rich! Self-reinforced PET mouldings Following fast on the heels of the premium grade epoxy tooling block TB750, launched at the JEC Show 2006, the Advanced Composites Group Limited (Heanor, UK), part of the Composites Division of Umeco plc, announced the introduction of a new product: ACG TB720. As with TB750, TB720 has been developed in partnership with Huntsman Advanced Materials as part of an ongoing five-year collaboration and distribution agreement with ACG. TB720 is an easily machined, lower-cost master model material that exhibits a good blend of mechanical and physical properties and is fully compatible with ACG's existing range of ancillary adhesives and sealers. To meet New product and process developments in resin infusion and vacuum bagging market demands, TB720 will be available in a range of sizes and on short lead-times from ACG factories in Europe and the USA. www.advanced-composites.com Aptiform, a business launched last year to mould products from self-reinforced plastics, has significantly enhanced its capability by adding self-reinforced PET to its portfolio. Self-reinforced plastics are a family of materials where the matrix is reinforced by a fibre of the same material, such as polypropylene reinforced with polypropylene. These materials bridge the gap between isotropic polymers and fibrereinforced composites, with stiffness and strength values typically five times those of conventional unreinforced plastics. Previously, most self-reinforced plastics were based on polyolefins, but PET offers additional advantages. Self-reinforced PET is particularly suitable for large, low-volume parts and is easily painted and bonded, offering significant weight savings compared to GRP mouldings. Applications are anticipated in areas where GRP is currently used but where weight savings are beneficial, such as in mass transit, specialist and construction vehicles. www.aptiform.com JEC Composites Magazine / No33 June 2007 Airtech Advanced Materials Group presence at JEC 2007 was focused on their materials in action, with daily resin infusion demonstrations during the three days. The latest products were demonstrated for use in the resin infusion, autoclave and general vacuum bagging applications. Also in focus was Airtech’s Custom Vacuum Bag Engineering and Kitting services. A realistic composite workshop area with tooling and material racks enabled visitors from all backgrounds to fully appreciate the latest developments in vacuum bagging technology. Highlights of Airtech’s latest products and capabilities included: - Custom engineered shaped vacuum bags, implementing Catia V5 software to accelerate the design and manufacturing processes. - Multilayer technology small bore vacuum bag tubing and release film tubing offering significant process improvement during manufacture of complex hollow composite structures. - High-bleed MP22 perforation style for resin infusion applications. - High-temperature resin infusion products including: RB 91 vacuum reservoir and the ARC 58 reusable connector. - Resintrak, a resin flow line which offers very high resin permeability and a good transportation of resin along the surface and into the part. Industrial processing foam www.airtechonline.com sandwich applications. At JEC 2007, Alcan Composites Core Materials introduced AIREX® C52, a new addition to their product range that will replace the KAPEX® C51 industrial processing foam. The new foam is distributed with a perforated polyester fleece on top of the foam core. This configuration is based on the production process and also leads to reduced resin consumption when processing it to a sandwich part. Perforating in close, staggered 5-mm intervals ensures the same adhesion properties as the former version, KAPEX® C51. Promoting and distributing the new industrial processing foam under the name AIREX® C52 is consistent with the company’s two-brand strategy: AIREX® for foam cores and BALTEK® for balsa cores. Consequently, the brand name KAPEX® is no longer being used. Aquitaine Composite: a dynamic federation of leaders www.alcanairex.com Alcan Composites Core Materials, a member of Alcan Inc., Canada, is a group of companies producing and marketing innovative core materials for structural As Europe’s leading centre for space and strategic propulsion, Aquitaine is also a European benchmark in the field of high-performance composites. Its position in the fabrication of motors and engines is also a major asset. Aquitaine expertise can be found in many other high-tech segments as well, such as rider sports, pleasure boats, energy,
