Sikma launches recycled non-woven fabrics to reduce carbon fiber landfill waste by 500 tons per year

On September 8, Sigmatex, one of the global leaders in the design and production of carbon fiber fabrics, announced the launch of a recycled carbon fiber non-woven fabric
.
? Sikema has been committed to reducing the impact of composite material production on the environment for a long time, and based on this, developed a production process that uses waste materials as raw materials, which is environmentally friendly and energy-saving
.
The carbon fiber non-woven fabric produced in this way is versatile and easy to process.
By 2025, it can reduce 500 tons of landfill waste every year
.
Sigma said that the non-woven fabric produced by this method has good surface sizing agent for carbon filaments, tight bonding between fiber and resin, grammage ranging from 100gsm to 600gsm, good mechanical properties, and suitable for processing into prepregs
.
• Paul McMullan, Commercial Director of Sikma, commented: “One of the most important considerations when choosing a recycled carbon fiber product is the energy consumption of carbon fiber recycling
.
Compared with other chemical or pyrolysis methods, our process only requires the former energy.
10-20% of the consumption, the advantage is significant
