A Solvay partner in the UK is paving the way for the industrial production of automotive composite parts, making manufacturing faster and easier, and reducing weight to reduce CO2 emissions
.
Penso is a UK manufacturing and engineering services company specialising in the production of composite automotive parts for high-end cars or 'supercars'
.
Bringing composites from the micro-market to the mainstream
Bringing composites from the micro-market to the mainstreamAs a leading supplier of high-performance composite materials, Solvay has been working with Penso for many years
.
Due to the nature of the material, the production of auto parts made from composites tends to be a slow and expensive process, requiring more operational steps and more losses than metalworking
.
New processes for advanced materials
New processes for advanced materialsSolvay typically produces prepregs, impregnated carbon fiber sheets that manufacturers then cut out to produce parts
.
Solvay has demonstrated through FLAVA that composite-intensive vehicles such as delivery vans can be industrially produced
.
Interested end users are manufacturers of the type of home delivery trucks that consumers buy online
.
The sky is the limit for composites
The sky is the limit for composites"Now that this new market is being established, our focus is on transferring these manufacturing processes to other markets, such as mass vehicle production and the aerospace industry, from new aerospace platforms to urban air mobility," Gérald said
.
The aerospace industry is a traditionally conservative industry with slow implementation of innovations, so the aerospace industry is increasingly concerned with the technological developments taking place in the rapidly growing automotive industry
.
Gérald concludes: “The manufacturing process and chemistry we developed for this project have already proven their effectiveness
.
They can now also be deployed in the automotive and aerospace industries
.
” The development of a wide variety of vehicle parts has just hit the fast track Road
