Chomarat wins JEC Paris award in thermoplastic innovation

April 03, 2013 - France

Chomarat on the path of innovation: After winning an award at the recent JEC Boston for C-PLY, innovative carbon reinforcement, Chomarat was awarded at JEC Paris as a partner in the thermoplastic innovation category.

This award recognizes the collaborative work of four partners ; Arkema (France), for their new thermoplastic resin, Altuglas Composite, 3B Fiberglass, for their new sizing compatible with acrylic resins, PPE (pôle de plasturgie de l’Est), an international technical center and Chomarat.

Through this R&D partnership, sizing and fabrics have been optimized. These reinforcements have enabled the production of composites with properties comparable to traditional thermoset composites, but have the advantage of being thermoformable.
