EB-Auto Evaluating basalt fibre for high volume automotive composites manufacturing

EB-Auto财团正在评估玄武岩纤维与热塑性树脂的材料组合，当使用高速工艺来制造复合中间材料时。它将确立这项技术的价值主张，并为汽车行业提供高速率负担得起的复合材料。该项目财团有潜力迅速发展成为一个市场机会，因为该项目财团包含了将该技术推向市场的大部分英国和全球供应基地。将纤维供应商与几个转化器结合在一起，这些转化器可以将材料加工成胶带、3D编织品和编织带。这些材料格式将由英国HVM Catapult中心和一所领先的大学在全球汽车OEM的支持下进行评估，以了解它们的好处和潜在的市场地位。“

"The EB-Auto consortium is evaluating the material combination of basalt fibre combined with thermoplastic resin when processed using high rate processes for manufacturing of composite intermediate materials. It will establish the value proposition for this technology and a new offer for high rate affordable composites for the automotive sector.It has the potential to quickly develop into a market opportunity as the project consortium contains most of the UK and global supply base to get this to market.It brings together the supplier of fibre with several converters who can process the material into tapes, 3D wovens and braids. These material formats will be evaluated to understand their benefits and potential place in the market by a UK HVM Catapult centre and a leading University with support from a global auto OEM."
