CFRT Relief Valve Cover
This novel CFRT relief valve cover has the advantage of high strength, high stiffness, low specific gravity, small curved fin deformation, stable parts size, low absorption of moisture, excellent impact ductility at low temperature, good self-lubrication and UV ageing resistance, resistance to chemical solvents and corrosion, good flame retardancy, and being manufactured by a precision injection molding process. In addition, the process of the product is simple. To compare with conventional process, the production efficiency was remarkably improved, and the cost was obviously reduced, the service life was prolonged. This process has high energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. The products can be recycled and excellent performance can meet the requirements when this product would be used in railway.

Lefant Power+ Antifouling
Lefant Oceanica is a highly efficient and half polishing antifouling semi-rigid type, superior in polishing antifouling and release antifouling. It can not only lower the coefficient of bottom and the surface friction, but also effectively maintain paint solid. After good antifouling, it will lead to the bottom flat, smooth and reflective, making whole hull look more beautiful. Besides, the antifouling paint is very strong, effectively lessening the loss of waves lapping. Even if the yacht is long-term sailing, oceanic can keep the paint falls off not easily, especially suitable for all kinds of yacht sailing at the bottom. The antifouling maximum speed can reach 35 knots, and there are many colors for you to choose from. Adidas

BYK-P 9920
Additive for improving the fiber wetting in composites BYK-P 9920 is a newly developed processing additive that improves the wetting of glass and/or carbon fibers. This leads to a higher product quality, lower scrap rates and less re-work due to less air entrapments and porosity in the final part. BYK-P 9920 is recommended for use in epoxy resin and vinyl ester systems and shows no negative impact on mechanical properties. adidas Sneaker News

High Performance Low dielectric fiberglass
The section of flat glass fiber is special-shaped, which contributes to improving the flow property of the composite material with high content of glass fiber. This innovative product could suppress the warping deformation of composite products and improve the dimensional stability of molding products. Due to its excellent properties, the flat glass fiber offers a distinct advantage in high modulus, high strength, low warp and high performance resin matrix composites. The flat glass fiber has a vast application prospect in automotive and electronic industries. Puma

ROHACELL® Triple F
Different from the traditional PMI rigid foam seen in the market, ROHACELL® TRIPLE F is not in blocks from appearance, but kind of irregular pre-foamed granules. These granules can be easily filled into the requested 3D shaped core’s mould, then simply heated to continue foaming. The inner expansion stress leads to close bonding between granule and granule, and fully filling all the space of the mould, to make a 3D shaped integration foam core. After cooling and demoulding, it can bond with continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic or thermoset composites to become shaped sandwich composite parts. During the whole simple process, there is nearly no raw material waste, the density of final core can be controlled within the range of 70-200kg/m3 according to the requirement of mechanical performance and light weight effect. This simple granule foaming in mould process can save the cycle time and cost, ensure tight tolerance of shaping and reproducibility, which is suitable for mass production. Adidas Predator Tango EVA

ArmaFORM® PET GR
Over the past years Armacell has been driving the market for PET foam cores and is continuously investigating improved products and innovative new products especially dedicated to “green” applications.Especially our new generation of PET foam core, ArmaFORM PET GR, is aimed to be used in the Composite Industry as a ‘real’ sustainable solution: made 100% from post-consumer PET packaging materials (called r-PET). Using such r-PET as a raw material for the foaming process of our ArmaFORM PET GR foam core leads to an excellent result of a 30% lower carbon footprint, the greenhouse effect can be reduced by 34% and energy consumption by 40%. Instead of ending up in landfill we are making a highly ecological product out of it, which perfectly fits into the “cradle-to-cradle” philosophy: a recyclable foam core that is already manufactured from a recycled raw material. air max 1

VCP & VCS
VERICUT Composite Programming (VCP) VCP reads CAD surfaces and ply boundary information and adds material to fill the plies according to user-specified manufacturing standards and requirements. Layup paths are then linked together to form specific layup sequences and output as NC programs for the automated layup machine. VERICUT Composite Simulation (VCS) VCS reads CAD models and NC programs, either from VCP or other composite layup path-generation applications, and simulates the sequence of NC programs on a virtual machine. Material is applied to the layup form via NC program instructions in a virtual CNC simulation environment. The simulated material applied to the form can be measured and inspected to ensure the NC program follows manufacturing standards and requirements. Nike Zoom Kobe IV
