Solvay and SGL Carbon have entered into a joint development agreement (JDA) to bring to market the first composite materials based on large-tow intermediate modulus (IM) carbon fibre.
SGL Carbon says it has delivered two special glass fibre textiles, so-called non-crimped fabrics, for the new version of helicopter model H145 from Airbus Helicopters.
SGL Carbon and Elbe Flugzeugwerke, a long-established German aircraft manufacturer, have extended their contract to supply prepregs (impregnated carbon fibre textiles) for use in the Airbus A350 cabin’s floor panels until the end of 2020.
