Chomarat will exhibit its latest woven and multi-axial carbon fibre reinforcements at JEC World 2019, in hall 5, stand J42. The leading international composites show will be held from March 12-14, 2019, in Paris, France. Chomarat is an independent industrial group that has become a benchmark in the world of composite materials and technical textiles.

“Prepregs are used in the most demanding markets, such as aerospace or the automotive industry. Due to their high performance, Chomarat’s carbon fabrics are highly considered by prepreggers. Compared to standard solutions, the multi-axial reinforcements developed by the group offer Chomarat’s converter customers’ significant productivity gains. With its production sites in France, Asia, and the US, Chomarat is able to supply its customers and guarantee the same high level of quality in all countries,” Chomarat managing director Michel Cognet said in a press release.

In just a few years, prepreggers have come to consider Chomarat’s C-WEAVE carbon-fibre fabrics as a benchmark for surface-finish quality and processability. The reinforcement contributes to productivity and reliability during the prepregging process. The advantages of multi-axial reinforcements are now well established with oriented axes, absence of resin-rich areas allowing a high fibre content, and improved mechanical tensile and/or bending performance, thanks to the non-crimp fibres.

By developing its C-PLY range, Chomarat further demonstrates that multi-axials are a real asset in terms of performance and appearance. “Prepreg users often manufacture Class A surface parts for demanding applications, and they need excellence and reproducibility. Chomarat strives to minimise marking on parts and to optimise surface quality through fibre spreading and the use of suitable stitches. C-PLY can also integrate aesthetic functions by using the assembly seam as a graphic design,” Ulrike Salmon, Chomarat’s prepreg market manager said.

These new advantages are important for the automotive, sports-equipment, and consumer-electronics markets, which seek to combine premium quality and productivity. (GK)
