Information Report on the activity:
The 13th edition of Composite-Expo exhibition organized by Mir-Expo Exhibition Company was held on March 30 to April 1, 2021 at Expocentre Fairgrounds, Moscow, Russia. The event is a traditional annual business meeting place of Russian and foreign industry experts, manufacturers, suppliers & consumers of composites, technologies & equipment for composites finished products, it’s a wrap-up meeting place and source of new information the further development would be difficult without.
Due to the impossibility of holding the exhibition in 2020, its postponement to 2021 because of the pandemic and compliance with restrictive measures, the participating companies were happy to take advantage of the opportunity to personally communicate with potential customers and presented a number of new developments and equipment samples to numerous visitors of the exhibition.
During the exhibition, the specialists held many negotiations with potential customers, established new business contacts and discussed new projects with representatives of various industries. It is worth noting that the specialized exhibitions become more effective every year.
Composite materials still have the most important positive characteristics of mechanical strength, lightness and insulation functions. Based on this, they open the way to more sustainable industrial use in all types of transport, construction, energy, electrical solutions, etc
In 2021, the exhibition was visited by about 5,400 specialists from various industries. The exhibition was attended by 100 companies from 15 countries (Great Britain, Germany, Italy, China, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, the Republic of Belarus, Russia, the United States, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Finland, France and Japan).
In the show among the permanent exhibitors were the following companies: Autoplast, ALVIS NTO, Kurchatov Institute, National Research Center, Prometey FSUE CRISM, UTS group, Airtech Europe Sarl, Bang & Bonsomer, BMP Technology, Carbon Studio, DUGALAK, Eurohim-1, Glasstex, Larchfield Ltd, Melytec LLC, MegaPlast, P-D Tatneft-Alabuga Fiberglass LLC, Elektroizolit PJSC, KORSIL-Trade, INTREY Polymer Systems LLC, Lavesan, Leuco Rus, Limited Liability CS Composites, Neva Technology, Nouryon, Polymerprom LLC, P-D Tatneft-Alabuga Steklovolokno, Sealing Materials Plant, Lavesan Srl, SKM Polymer LLC, Toray International Europe GmbH, and others.
The following companies exhibited at the event for the first time: 3D CONTROL, Bigprinter, SIAMS, Acmos Chemie, Allnex, GMK, Dubnensky Cable Plant, ITA Tools, ITEKMA, Composite Stroy, LAVAintel, Lamplex Composite, Lega, Mega Invest Industrial SP, Metapolymer, PANINI Spa, First Composite Manufacture, Polet-Service, Rolltex, Sibim Plus, TEHNOVOTUM NPK, Shelangersky Chemistry Plant Saiver and others.
A number of participants presented new technologies and product samples:
Airtech Europe is a division of Airtech Advanced Materials Group, the largest manufacturer of vacuum bagging and composite tooling materials for prepreg/autoclave, resin infusion and wet lay-up processes up to 426°C. The company presented Flowlease 160-PP200 that combines a high weight knitted flow mesh with a layer of our PP200 non-woven release ply and is intended to be used in resin infusion applications. Due to the high open structure of the knitted mesh, the high resin infusion flow can be achieved with most resin types. Great labor savings can be achieved by having combination of products applied in one operation as opposed to applying one layer at a time. Flowlease 160-PP200 will be applied on the top of the carbon or fiberglass fabrics. Flowrunner PP2 is a flexible resin runner for feeding resin over parts in the resin infusion process. Constructed with a 1,3 cm (½”) spiral resin line and 5 cm (2") wide PP200 fabric, Flowrunner PP2 can be easily positioned in a vacuum bag pleat. Flowrunner leaves minimal imprint on panels and can be easily removed from cured laminates.
The company AVTOPLAST LLC presented line of continuous molding for fiberglass sheets up to 3000 mm wide with a decorative-protective (gelcoat) coating. The production capacity of the line allows to produce up to 3 million square meters of fiberglass sheets per year.
German – Russian company BauTex is one of the biggest manufactures of products based on the fiberglass and a leading distributor of raw material for the production of glass fiber reinforced plastics in Russia. The company presented at Composite-Expo 2021 complex multilayer fabrics, that have up to 4 layers with width up to 4 m and max weight up to 2000 g/sq m.; multiaxial fabrics up to 6 layers of roving in main directions 0°,90°,+45°,-45° (axial angle can be changed) with width up to 2,54 m and areal weight up to 2000 g/sq m.; materials for pultrusion: stitch mats (stitched mat with less resin consumption) with width up to 2,54 m.
GMK LLC – producer of carbon-carbon composite materials – presented at its stand innovative developments and products in the processes of resistive and induction heating, high-performance carbon thermal insulation from GMK.
SIAMS Company develops automation solutions and software for optical microscopes. It presented microstructure analyzers based upon motorized optical microscopes allow running automated quantitative microstructure analysis of composite materials. Complex includes analysis of particles in composite mixture, analysis of carbon fibers, volumetric analysis of carbon plastics, superconductor cross-section analysis, etc.
At the show Composite Stroy is a one of the leading Russian manufacturers and sellers of polyester and epoxy resins, polyurethane rubbers, silicone rubbers, coatings, reinforcement materials and lots of other materials and tools for the composite industry. Composite Story produces fiberglass products, silicone and polyurethane molds and much more on display made with company products for industrial applications. Composite Stroy showed at the exhibition the following unique materials: polyester resin systems with reduced volumetric shrinkage (less than 1%); polyester resin systems with a higher heat distortion temperature over 150°C to achieve a much faster molding process; polyester gel coats and resins for high thermal conductive molds manufacturing; epoxy resin systems with low moisture absorption characteristics for the boats, yachts and surfboards manufacturing; advanced infusion and injection low viscosity epoxy resin compounds that enables structural composite parts and tools manufacturing with glass of carbon fiber; pouring epoxy resin compounds that are optimally suited for processing in larger quantities and for casting layer thicknesses of up to 150 millimeters.
LAVAintel SPC is the founder of the factory, located in Velikiy Novgorod started the production of continuous basalt fiber presented effective technologies which are used to produce continuous basalt fiber based on 800-,1200-, 1600- and 2400 bushing assembly based on platinum and rhodium. This technology doesn’t have any analogs in the world and helps to produce the basalt fiber which are equal to glass fiber by technical and economical properties.
At the Composite-Expo exhibition, Lega LLC offered specialists new composite materials of its own production — materials for 3-D printers and other complex engineering tasks; a compound based on polyethylene and a filler of plant origin; insulation materials for multiple purposes; innovative solutions for creating roads with "green" asphalt.
Institute of Cosmic and Aviation Materials Company Limited ("NIIKAM" Co Ltd) is engaged in scientific developments and production of MLI blankets for satellites, offered cyanate ester resin, carbon plastics, fiberglass and other products with unique properties; radio-transparent materials, syntactic foams and products from them; composite materials with shape memory; multi-layer insulation (MLI) is an ultra light, super effective thermal insulation material; adhesive materials (heat-resistant, moisture-resistant, high strength structural adhesives, including film adhesives, permanent stickiness adhesives, e.g. for attaching sensors, etc.).
