    China Coatings Online News Information:
    launched a new rapid curing resin system with Solvay. Solvay has launched a new fast-curing thermo-curing resin system for the M4 GTS carbon fiber-reinforced plastic cover of the BMW MTRTM 760. According to China Coatings Onlineexperts, this new resin system is through the fiber winding process to prepare resin impregnated carbon fiber, the resin impregnated carbon fiber manufactured with very good processing performance, rapid curing, 135 degrees C thermal weight loss, superior toughness and excellent dynamic loading characteristics. Its resin excellent surface finish to meet the application of Grade A paint.
    MTRTM 760 fiber winding pre-immersion material was expected to find an effective solution for carbon fiber-reinforced plastic lightweighting. Manfred Duri, German Automotive Business Development Manager, Global Business Unit, Solvay Composites, said: "Solvay has developed a new thermoso-solid resin to meet BMW's technical and commercial requirements for performance and cycle time, and has applied carbon fiber-reinforced plastic cover structures to the new M4 program. "Solvay's commercial and application engineering teams work closely with supply chain C-Con (development, tool and system supplier) and Laple (compression and connectivity) to ensure the optimization of materials and manufacturing processes, including design and manufacturing, product development, and automated continuous production, starting with the initial preparation steps of the vehicle.

    Experts say this provides an opportunity for the resin system to meet the short-term adjustment of the project cycle. Michael Neuner, general manager of C-ConGmbH, said: "We are proud to work closely with the Solvay team to develop and manufacture this new resin system for only nine months. Through close coordination between C-Con and Solvay's technical and process engineering teams, the carbon fiber developed enhances all target performance of the plastic cover, such as dynamic load conditions or Class A surfaces. Oliver Wackenhut, Managing Director,
    Laple Automotive GmbH, said: "To meet customer demand for lightweight materials, the application of carbon fiber-reinforced plastics in Laple Automotive has become a major area of research and development. We have two strong partners, Solvay and C-CON, as well as strong expertise in the field of continuous production processes. "The molded hood uses a double diaphragm formation process to customize the composite void. The formation of diaphragms has many advantages, including the fact that blank support during oppression does not require a press chip, is cost-effective, and the simplification tool has clear benefits. The formation of the double diaphragm allowed Lapple to use sheet metal technology to make carbon fiber-reinforced plastic parts.

    Experts say the film used in the process is solvay's proprietary tool that matches the geometry of the resin system. Through this project, Solvay demonstrated its ability to work with customers to develop the best material solutions, improving the production capacity of high-volume continuous fiber composites. The hood will be on display at Solvay's JEC conference in Paris (March 8-10, 2016) and mannheim's VDI Automotive Plastics Exhibition (March 9-10, 2016).
