Again the EATC and the AVK organize a seminar especially on thermoplastic composites.
It will take place at Byk Chemie GmbH in Wesel. The event starts on May the 24th at 12.00 h and ends at the 25th at about 13.00h.
Our new seminar brings together a unique collection of topics and speakers and provides a practically-oriented, in-depth overview of applications using thermoplastic – in particular long fibre reinforced – composites.

With more than 20 member companies the EATC bundles an enourmous amount of knowledge concerning thermoplastic composite systems. Together with the AVK several experts from EATC have renewed the former EATC-seminar which shows applications, trends, possibilities and advantages of this special composites group.
At the 21st of April, 2016 the seminar took place the first time at BYK-Chemie in Wesel. More than 25 participants and experts made this first event a complete success. We are looking forward for the next seminar and want to thank all supporters!
A new thermoplastic resin developed by the EATC-Member Arkema (Elium®) makes it possible to mould large parts with thermoset-like processes. Its low viscosity at 20°C allows fast and complete infusion without heating. The article describes how The CANOE technical platform recently produced the largest thermoplastic composite boat ever manufactured by vacuum-assisted resin infusion at room temperature – The complete hull infusion took 35 minutes for 45 kg of resin.
After visiting the Johns Manville plant in February 2014, the EATC group was now invited to visit the ProTec Polymer Processing GmbH in Bensheim (Germany) for their first meeting in 2016.
On Tuesday the 19th of January 2016 several members of the EATC took the chance not only to discuss technical issues in a regular meeting, but also to visit ProTecs facility and getting an impression of their daily business.
Special thanks go to ProTec for their kindness and hospitality!
Thermoplastische Faserverbunde erlauben es, durch ihre flexiblen und vielfältigen Herstellungsverfahren Bauteile nach dem Vorbild der Natur zu entwickeln. So können beispielsweise in Verbindung mit dem Spritzgießprozess Faserverstärkungen auf Bauteilbereiche reduziert werden, in denen die höchsten Belastungen auftreten.
Das Fraunhofer ICT be
fasst sich aktuelle mit entsprechenden Optimierungspotentialen und hat zur FAKUMA eine aktuelle Pressemitteilung veröffentlicht.
Einige Medien (wie beispielsweise die K-Zeitung oder das CCeV-Magazin) haben das Thema in ihren Veröffentlichungen berücksichtigt.
