ELG Carbon Fibre of Coseley, UK, has started to produce nonwoven mats on a new line designed specifically to process recycled carbon fibres. The mats are available in widths up to 2.7 m in a wide range of areal weights, and ELG believes that the products will appeal to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in the transportation sector seeking cost-effective alternatives to materials made with virgin carbon fibre. The Managing Director of ELG Carbon Fibre, Frazer Barnes, says:"With the correct design, nonwoven recycled carbon fibre can be used very successfully to manufacture low-cost, lightweight structures using most high-volume manufacturing processes. It seems that new applications for these materials are being identified every week, making this an exciting and progressive time for the company and our technology."
