On the road to the development and promotion of continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites, Covestro has launched a new brand name MaezioTM.
Covestro MaezioTM Continuous Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composite (CFRTP) can be combined into a variety of products, giving designers a whole new creative space.
One of the potential applications for CFRTP composites is to create a new look for lightweight, ultra-thin notebook cases.
China's Internet sports brand Bimai uses Covestro CFRTP composite materials to make lighter and stronger marathon running shoes.
Haier launched a high-end air conditioner of the Casa Di brand, and the main body shell is made of Costron MaezioTM CFRTP composite material. CFRTP is lightweight and sturdy, giving designers great design freedom.
As the global demand for sturdy, lightweight materials continues to grow, this innovative material will be of great use, helping to conserve resources and improve energy efficiency. MaezioTM is not only an original equipment manufacturer for the transportation, electronics, consumer goods and medical industries and zero. Component suppliers provide the superior performance of advanced composite materials, which can also help them increase cost-effectiveness and achieve scale production.
David Hartmann, Co-CEO of Covestro Composites, said: 'The new brand name will greatly enhance the awareness of our products and further enhance our expertise in the field of thermoplastic composites. We believe that the new brand of composite materials It can create tangible value for a new generation of products in various industries. Our materials can bring the comprehensive advantages of lightweight structure, strength and appearance customization, and can be produced at a scale that cannot be achieved by other advanced materials.
Future material
This future-oriented composite is made of continuous carbon or glass reinforced polycarbonate, thermoplastic polyurethane or other thermoplastic resin. Covestro uses these materials at the Markt Bibart production site in southern Germany. Composite unidirectional tapes and sheets are then supplied to customers for further processing. These materials are sturdy, lightweight and aesthetically pleasing, and can be combined into a variety of products to give designers a whole new creative space.
At present, the further expansion of advanced composite materials is hindered by the lack of cost-effective and scalable production processes. In addition, it is not easy to apply them to mass-produced products. The emergence of MaezioTM composite materials will Break this situation.
Suitable for large-scale production
The composite material is thermoformed using existing thermoforming tools with high yield and short production cycle. These advantages are especially important when the annual production of parts reaches a million pieces. In addition, injection molding, automatic tape laying Production techniques such as automatic wire laying can also be applied to the composite material.
As a thermoplastic composite, MaezioTM products can be recycled at the end of their life cycle and are an excellent example of 'scale and sustainable composite solutions that can help industries across the limits of materials technology.' Dr. Michael Schmidt, co-CEO of Materials Business, said.
Widely concerned
MaezioTM has attracted a lot of attention in different industry segments, such as electrical and electronics, automotive, home appliances, furniture, medical, sporting goods, footwear and luggage.
Previously, Haier, the world's largest home appliance brand, launched a high-end air conditioner from the Casa Di brand. The main body casing is made of MaezioTM composite material. In the shoe fulfillment industry, this composite material is applied to the Chinese Internet sports brand Bimai Marathon running shoes. Let the majority of athletes and casual runners benefit from it.
