乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 to Install State-Of-The-Art Honeycomb Composite Spray Molding Equipment at Auburn Hills Technical Center
THE WOODLANDS, Texas 鈥� 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Corporation (NYSE: HUN) announced that its Polyurethanes division is installing a honeycomb panel composite spray molding production cell at its Auburn Hills, Michigan technical center to support the company鈥檚 expanding automotive and industrial businesses.
The new Hennecke HK metering machine for PUR composite spray molding (CSM) will allow customers in the Americas market to develop and prototype honeycomb panel composite spray moldings, which are most commonly used in the parcel trays, sun shades and cargo area load floors.
The CSM machine will be commissioned in late September. Development programs for interested customers are scheduled to begin in early October.
鈥淚nstalling this CSM work cell increases the wide range of quality composite solutions that 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes can provide to the transportation market. This should also help customers shorten their development cycle, and allow them to conduct pilot scale production of parts and systems before going into full-scale manufacturing,鈥� said David Bareis, Market Development Manager, Polyurethane Composites, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes. 鈥淭he purchase and installation of this equipment is another example of how 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 Polyurethanes and Advance Materials divisions are increasing the Company鈥檚 capabilities and establishing a composites center of excellence at its technical site in Auburn Hills.鈥�
The honeycomb composite panels are commonly manufactured for non-structural automotive applications using glass-fiber (mat/fabric) with a paper honeycomb core. 鈥淭he market for this technology is firmly established in Europe, but it is growing very rapidly in the Americas,鈥� said Randy Wellman, Automotive Business Manager, 乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站 Polyurethanes. 鈥淲e intend to use this new equipment for the known industry applications, but we will also extend the technology with our VITROX庐 polyurethane and Araldite庐 epoxy chemistries to advanced honeycomb structural components using carbon fiber and high performance honeycomb cores.鈥�
乐天堂fun88(中国区)官方网站鈥檚 Polyurethanes and Advanced Materials divisions will discuss the new Hennecke CSM machine, its functionality and the company鈥檚 expanding automotive capabilities at the Society of Plastics Engineers (SPE) Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition (ACCE), Sept. 7-9 at the Diamond Banquet & Conference Center in Novi, Michigan.
