SPECIAL cutting edge manufacturing technology. Located in its new purpose built UK facility, this machine will concentrate heavily on Research and Development of 3D carbon fibre fabrics for a number of markets and applications. >> ocean races. MTM® prepregs are also extensively used in the automotive and sports equipment markets. A number of ACG prepregs now meet the demands of the aerospace industry, with autoclave laminate quality and performance readily achievable. Regional distributor Established in Taiwan in 1990, Hajime Corporation provides advanced materials and technologies to customers in different industries, including electronics, composite materials, semi-conductors, and opto-electronics. Hajime co-operates with companies all over the world, from Japan-based Nippon Steel Chemical, Sekisui Chemical, Sliontec, Takasago Tekko, Mitsubishi Rayon Co, to Americabased Grignard and British-based Vision Engineering Stereo. For over 8 years, Hajime Corporation has acted as a major sales representative of composite materials and carbon fibre from Mitsubishi Rayon Co. Customers include aircraft manufacturers, construction companies and sports good manufacturers. In October 2007, Hajime Corporation became the sole agent for Grignard Company in the Asian region, offering an extended range of services and products to the metal, plastic, composite and moulding industries. Grignard produces an advanced-formula mould wax that provides a durable, glossy release surface yielding a shine finish on the moulded part. This innovative wax is easy to apply and economical. Hajime Corporation is headquartered in Taipei and has a technical centre in Taipei County. The company also has offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo. > Stand B10 www.hajime.com.tw “Yet another example of investment in plant, equipment and technology that Sigmatex has undertaken in order to continue its growth and expansion in the manufacture carbon fibre technical textiles” quotes Scott Murray, Technical Manager. > Stand C13 www.sigmatex.com Out-of-autoclave processing systems ACG’s range of vacuum pressure prepreg materials were originally developed to cure and demould in a stable condition after initial curing at temperatures as low as 60°C, using low-cost tooling and oven vacuum bag processing. Parts made from LTM® prepregs were then further cured (or post-cured) away from the mould at a higher temperature, thus completing the curing reaction and generating the required mechanical and thermal resistance properties. This first generation of out-of-autoclave (OOA) systems could never fully match the performance of high-temperature autoclave-cured materials in terms of mechanical performance, laminate quality and damage tolerance. Extensive material development has given rise to new developments in the LTM resin range, but also to new initiatives in the marine industry, such as the VTM®260 series prepregs, which have proven their worth in the America’s Cup and some of the world’s toughest With the consequential rapid growth of composite materials in the aerospace industry, there is now a need to reduce costs, radically shorten programme timescales and increase production output rates. Allied with the fact that part sizes are rapidly increasing, autoclave processing is fast becoming prohibitively capital-intensive and potentially unfeasible in many cases. However, ACG’s next generation of OOA prepregs offer improved handling and worklife at room temperature. They have opened the way for low-cost integrated manufacturing routes in the aerospace industry, which, in turn, has increased the size of the sub-contracting market and further accelerated the uptake of composites in the aerospace market. ACG has formulated low-pressure processing aerospace resin systems, specifically MTM®44-1, MTM®45-1 and MTM®46. To meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace industry, the low-cost process capability associated with these prepregs had to be allied with specific high-temperature performance and enhanced toughness requirements. These targets have now been achieved, and the next generation of out-ofautoclave processing systems is currently undergoing qualification for a variety of civil and military applications, as is evident with recent approvals from Airbus. > Stand G2 www.advanced-composites.com New carbon fibre oxidation systems C. A. Litzler Co., Inc. will be presenting new oxidation oven systems that use an exclusive cross-flow oven technology and the patented End-Seal System. The alternating cross-flow design provides uniform airflow across the entire tow band for narrow and wide tow applications. Litzler ovens can successfully process 1k tow up to 350k tow. The ends of the oxidation oven are sealed by end seals that prevent cold air from infiltrating and hot air from escaping. This creates excellent temperature uniformity and a safer Special JEC Composites Asia / No44 October 2008
