Brief introduction to the development of new composite materials

Fibro Vin composite material is produced by mixing long glass fiber and PVC powder. It has good flame-retardant properties and is very strong in impact resistance. At present, Solvay is looking for related partners and plans to join hands with them to push long fiber vinyl composite production technology to the North American market.

After six years of intensive research and development, Belgium Solvay Group's innovative vinyl composites have finally come out. Since the beginning of this year, the material production technology has been promoted in Europe. The long-fiber vinyl composites newly promoted by Solvay are Fibro Vin and Autoflax.

Autoflax composites are made from flax or hemp fibers and processed by special processes. The new composite material is lightweight and has excellent thermal and acoustic properties. Solvay said that because of its remarkable performance, these new long-fiber vinyl composites will be widely used in the automotive, shipbuilding, and construction industries.

Clermont-Tonnerre, manager of market development at Solvay, said: “Vinyl is an important raw material for phthalate additives. Therefore, when vinyl is mentioned, people immediately think of additives. However, long-fiber vinyl compounds are not Contains any additives and can be used with confidence."

At present, the pilot project for the production of long-fiber vinyl composites by Solvay is in full swing in its Brussels and Belgian factories. The company's project of mass production of new composite materials with European partners is also under negotiation.
