Solvay has announced the launch of a new carbon fibre production line at its U.S. Piedmont Facility in South Carolina.<\/h3>\n

The new production line is set to double the production capacity of key raw materials that are used to make carbon fibre reinforced composite products. The new line has won qualification by Boeing<\/a> to manufacture secondary structures such as wing movable flaps and engine nacelles, as well as interior applications.<\/p>\n

The expansion covers the facilities and equipment to convert acrylonitrile monomers into standard modulus carbon fibres<\/a>. This type of fibre is used to manufacture composite materials which have been pre-impregnated for use in applications on commercial and military planes.<\/p>\n

Solvay\u2019s<\/a> CEO Jean-Pierre Clamadieu said;<\/p>\n

Through this strategic capacity expansion we offer our customers greater supply capabilities and contribute to their increased needs for reinforced composite materials to reduce weight and fuel consumption and to reduce assembly costs by integrated part design. For Solvay this production expansion results in greater flexibility to strengthen our growth innovative composite materials and our leading position in the industry.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Carbon fibre composite materials\u2019 durability, strength and fatigue life allow them to increasingly and securely replace metals on aircraft, reducing their weight, noise and CO2 emissions. In addition, composites enable the moulding of multiple sub-components into one assembly part, lowering the number of parts required as well as the assembly costs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
