Additives

Apply Carbon SAS is a subsidiary of Procotex Corporation SA, a Belgian family owned company specialized in fibers recycling, with factories in Lithuania, Turkey, Belgium and France. Apply Carbon SAS / Procotex is specialized in recycling carbon fiber waste from dry waste (spools, selvages, filaments, fabrics) to prepregs, pultruded profiles, laminates and composite parts and aramids

We truly supply “The Sustainable Carbon Fiber”: Milling (80 300μ), chopped 6mm sized (PU/PA/Epoxy ) or un sized, granulates For compounding applications, we supply a large range of sized carbon & aramid granulates that promotes adhesion to matrixes

Apply Carbon SAS / Procotex is proud to announce the investment in a new “state of the art” 15,600m2 manufacturing facility for recycled carbon fiber, this due to a strong growth in CFr sales and the recent acquisition of the assets of ELG Carbon Fiber UK Ltd. All manufacturing will be centralized at the new plant in Plouay, Brittany.

Additive Manufacturing, adhesives & Sealants, Coating, Composites Structural Elements, Compounds / Putties

Calyxia has developed a unique process to produce the first perfectly sealed, process resistant, and customizable microcapsules. We can protect reactive, functional and optical additives even in extreme temperature and shear processing conditions (extrusion, injection, compression moulding, film casting…) and deliver them at the right time and site for performance:

1 Reactive Additives (Catalysts, Accelerators, Curing Agents )

The Calyxia technology can protect process additives from premature reaction during processing, and then deliver the additive on command during curing This provides a significant advancement in terms of process and performance control

2. Functional Additives (Anti Wear Additive, Anti Abrasion Additive…)

The Calyxia technology is able to protect functional additives against degradation, cross reaction or instability during processing. Anti wear/abrasion additives are then delivered only in the event of wear or abrasion. Functional Additives enhance both the performance and the lifetime of the final product.

3. Optical Additives (Pigments, Liquid Crystals, Dyes….)

The Calyxia technology is able to fully protected optical additives throughout the lifetime of the product

This technology has been successfully validated with many large actors in high performance plastics, electronics materials and adhesives & coatings applications to provide new feature to their materials or to improve the performance of their current materials

CARBON AXIS

booth V22

Additive Manufacturing, Automated Fiber Placement, Automation Equipment, Tape Winding Equipment, Manufacturing Process Development

CARBON AXIS is specialized in compact and accessible Automated Fibre Placement (AFP) solutions.

We provide both machine and software to bring a complete solution ready to produce.

CARBON AXIS vision is to bring AFP to all industries thanks to lower cost and easier to use robotic solutions

The innovative XCell is our turnkey AFP preforming cell optimised for manufacturing small parts

It is able to process both thermoset towpregs and dry stabilized tapes on 2D flat surfaces or complex 3D geometries

On going developments on tape winding and thermoplastic AFP will increase the range of possibilities provided by the Xcell.

Our easy to use XLay software enables fast off line programming of the machine in a streamline workflow and within one single environment.

CULTURE IN booth V22

Cutting equipment, Nano materials, Prepegs, Reinforcements, Resin and/or Gel coat

Culture iN has invented a composite textile made from flax threads and vegetable resin PLA. This sustainable material is used in transportation and luxury industries.

The bio based material Varian® is the result of three years of R&D. Our material is biodegradable, VOC free and has a positive carbon impact

DEMETA is a Green Chemistry company specialized in developing next generation catalysts to produce high performance materials and chemicals

The catalysts we develop are molecular tools used at very low dosage that simplify chemistry, making it possible to develop efficient, eco responsible, safer, and more competitive processes and products

DEMETA develops and markets NexTene by DemetaTM, a family of high performance and low carbon footprint materials adapted for extreme conditions, serving various markets, from energy to composite materials and other industrial applications. NexTene is a 2-component liquid system which, when mixed, polymerizes, and leads to a very high performance material It combines the best of existing thermoset, thermoplastics and fluoropolymers, with a low density (1.03) helping design engineers to avoid trade offs between properties.

In contrast with usual DCPD formulations presenting a distinctive smell, NexTene GPX00 grade is odorless and VOC free (according to European car makers’ VDA 270 and 278 testing methods), a must have for the production of parts made for car interiors or off highway cabins

Last but not least, NexTene’s simple and short production pathway leads to a significant carbon footprint reduction (at least 47%)

Thanks to the partnership agreements made with METTON, a US chemical technology company focused on the development and commercialization of Liquid Molding Resin, Demeta is the exclusive distributor of METTON America Inc in Europe, CIS, Middle East and Africa aiming at small and medium series of complex parts produced by Reaction Injection Moulding.

NexTene & Metton offer the best possible performance for engineering complex and large parts, used in challenging conditions, for various applications.
