The recycled carbon veil is part of James Cropper’s sustainable nonwovens range, specifically designed to improve the finish, fabrication or functionality of a composite, while simultaneously enabling customers to demonstrate environmental responsibility without compromising on performance or quality. The veil can be used in a range of applications such as aerospace interiors, sporting goods and automotive and Advanced Air Mobility (AAM)Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) components and has already been used to manufacture composite parts with excellent results. Like our traditional materials, our recycled nonwovens can be easily integrated into a composite as a surfacing or semi-structural layer, providing a number of solutions; typical properties include enabling a high-quality resin rich surface finish, as well as imparting electrical conductivity, and high temperature & chemical resistance.
Alongside the recycled carbon veil, James Cropper will be showcasing a broad range of its traditional materials. These range from metal coated EMI shielding veils, to aramid which delivers abrasion resistance, PPS for improved interlaminar fracture toughness, TECNOFIRE for fire protection and dielectric glass and polyester veils which are used extensively as carriers & supports for adhesives and fragile materials. All of James Cropper’s materials also confer a high-quality resin rich finish to the composite surface, reducing cost and time in further processing and painting.
To find out more visit the James Cropper team at booth Z45, they would be delighted to introduce James Cropper’s new materials and discuss how they can help solve the technical challenges faced in advanced composite design and fabrication.
