SABIC DEMONSTRATES KEY MILESTONES FOR THE MASS ADOPTION OF ITS ADVANCED COMPOSITES AT JEC WORLD 2019
SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is highlighting at JEC World 2019 (Hall 6, stand P12) the most recent accomplishments that propel its long-term strategy in enabling the mass adoption of advanced thermoplastic composites.
(firmenpresse) - PARIS, FRANCE, March 12, 2019 - SABIC, a global leader in the chemical industry, is highlighting at JEC World 2019 (Hall 6, stand P12) the most recent accomplishments that propel its long-term strategy in enabling the mass adoption of advanced thermoplastic composites.
The company has achieved important milestones with its cutting-edge Digital Composites Manufacturing line for automated, large-scale laminate production, in partnership with Airborne; and with new applications using versatile UDMAX
This multi-pronged approach is helping to overcome traditional challenges and drive broader adoption of thermoplastic composite technology in applications across global industries including consumer electronics, aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, healthcare and mass transportation.
From an industry collaboration perspective, SABIC has recently become a member of CompositesNL for expanded collaboration and advocacy to advance the composites industry from The Netherlands.
Wide-ranging Applications
SABIC is displaying at JEC World 2019 several applications that highlight the versatility of UDMAX
They can be laminated and stamped, compression molded, thermoformed and wound tree climbing footwear and multi-layer membrane pipes for air filtration.
A highlight of the SABIC stand is the bulkhead for light commercial vehicles (LCV), which is produced using a highly efficient, one-shot process of lamination and low-pressure molding. As the replacement for a traditional metalized component, it reduces mass by 35 percent, which may help to promote better fuel economy, reduce emissions, allow larger payloads and facilitate assembly.
Automated, Digitized Manufacturing
Also at JEC World, SABIC is providing an advanced look at its new Digital Composites Manufacturing line using 360-degree virtual reality. Called
Innovation Award Finalist
In recognition of its cutting-edge concepts and technologies, including robotics, the Digital Composites Manufacturing line was named one of the three finalists in the & Engineering
1.Front-end system featuring high-speed feeding of UD tapes, which are fully inspected, laminated and welded. Tapes can be spliced in process.
2.Press system, for high speed consolidation with fully automated product transfer and handling of press plates. The consolidation system is loaded and unloaded by robots and can consolidate four laminates in a 1-minute cycle.
3.Back-end system that automatically separates the laminates from the press plates and trims and inspects them.
The winner will be announced at the JEC Innovation Awards ceremony, on Wednesday 13 March at 4:30 p.m. Central European Time (CET) at the Agora stage.
Industry Collaboration
As a new member of CompositesNL, SABIC is now part of an industry association that represents the interests of organizations in The Netherlands that are involved in the development, manufacture, maintenance and reuse of products that use composite technology. Among the many topics addressed by CompositesNL are sustainability and recycling, which are highly relevant to SABIC
JEC World 2019 runs from March 12 - 14 in Paris, France. SABIC management and technical experts are available at the SABIC stand throughout the show to answer questions and share insights into the company
