The Fibre-Fixed: Composites in Design exhibit showcased a range of products using fiber-reinforced composites. The design exhibition, open until April 21, 2019, is curated by Ignaas Verpoest of KU Leuven and Lut Pil of Lucca Academy of Arts in collaboration with Dutch design research studio Envisions.
Huntsman is the main sponsor of the Fibre-Fixed exhibition, providing financial support to the event organizer and two exhibits. It is showing a window frame based on RIMLINE glass fiber reinforced ​​ Ultralight license plate holder, this high-performance motorcycle is equipped with a powerful 1300 cc/170 HP V-engine.
Window frames feature Huntsman’s RIMLINE resin technology for a solid profile, high strength and weather resistance with low thermal conductivity. The innovatively designed motorcycle license plate holder features Huntsman’s VITROX resin technology, which is also part of Project RACE, an industry initiative led by KTM Technologies. KTM Technologies is an engineering company with strong expertise and capabilities in composite and hybrid materials and their applications.
Irina Bolshakova, Senior Marketing Manager EAMEI, Huntsman Transportation, said: “We are excited to be part of this exhibition and to work with the curators to showcase the unique designs that result from combining fibers and plastics into composite structures. .Composite materials are becoming more and more common in our lives, helping to reduce the weight of vehicles, produce stronger building materials, and more comfortable seats and bedding.This exhibition focuses on the past five years in composite materials technology The breakthrough was designed to give attendees a glimpse of new products that may appear in the composites field in the near future.
Bart Vangrimde, technical manager of Huntsman’s Polyurethane Composites EAMEI division, said: “Huntsman is committed to To develop various plastic technologies for use in the design of more durable and sustainable products. Versatile, easy and safe, our polyurethane composite technology can be used to produce fiber-reinforced plastics to design everyday objects with a unique personality. “
