Solvay, Premium AEROTEC and Faurecia Clean Mobility are currently launching an alliance focused on mass production of thermoplastic composites.
Through a three-year effort, Solvay, Premium AEROTEC and Faurecia Clean Mobility will leverage their expertise, capabilities and resources, and provide sustainable mobility solutions to meet the industry's growth expectations to reach R & D milestones.
Solvay (Alpharetta, Georgia, USA), Premium AEROTEC (Augsburg, Germany) and Faurecia Clean Mobility (Columbus, OH) announced the launch of IRG CosiMo (Industry Research Group: Sustainable Mobility) on August 2 Composites). The Composites Alliance is the first private group to focus on the development of materials and process technologies that will produce thermoplastic composites for large-scale applications in the aerospace and automotive markets.
Premium AEROTEC, Faurecia Clean Mobility and ITA Augsburg are also part of a large project alliance that will soon be in Campus Carbon 4.0 in the Bavarian Free State of Germany. The publicly-sponsored consortium (CC4.0 CosiMo) aims to develop new materials and processes, mainly in situ polymerization of caprolactam into polyamide 6, and the material will be used in large quantities in automobiles.
IRG CosiMo is an extension of the alliance, focusing on the research of a wider range of thermoplastic materials and processes. As a partner of IRG CosiMo, gGmbH (Augsburg Augsburg, Germany) will host and manage the alliance's projects, adjust scientific research plans, and transport new materials for equipment processing Into ribbon and mesh thermoplastic composites.
