Build an automotive partnership
Mass production of recycled carbon fiber
Recycled or blended nonwoven felt
According to ELG, the biggest challenge is always the ongoing application development process
.
"Recycled carbon fiber is not a direct replacement for virgin fiber
," explains Fra\zer Barnes, who joined the company in 2014.
"We are making a completely different product form, which requires a different process and a different design
.
We Not wanting to replace existing materials, we are trying to create a market for new materials
.
"
Helping customers learn how to use these new materials is an important part of ELG's work, which requires proving the material's properties and how to process it, while also providing customers with design data
.
Barnes said joint development work with customers is critical to advancing ELG's vision of "making recycled carbon fiber an essential part of automotive lightweight multi-material solutions," especially for high-yield production processes such as In injection molding and compression molding
.
The company is involved in various automotive R&D projects in Asia and the US, but is growing faster in Europe
.
There are now many automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers working on prototype and low-volume production projects
.
All of these projects are building an economic base, stockpiling technology, accumulating performance parameters and valuable processing experience that can be shared with other potential users of recycled carbon fiber
