| 3B's sustainable innovative reinforcement solutions  3B the fibreglass company, a manufacturer of fibreglass products for the reinforcement of thermoplastics and thermosets will be present at K 2010 with a series of sustainable, innovative solutions. 3B will showcase recently launched applications that demonstrate how sustainability is driving innovation and growth based on the three dimensions of eco-responsibility, durability and versatility. Thanks to the resilient and versatile characteristics of high performance fibreglass, 3B is meeting the demands of the market in the automotive, aerospace, defence, sports & leisure, consumer goods, construction, infrastructure and renewable energy industries.Together with Lati, one of Europe's key independent compounders, 3B helped to develop Latigloss. This unique polyamide compound combines excellent aesthetic qualities with outstanding durability and strength. This eliminates the need for secondary finishing operations or components. As a result less energy and materials are used and the total cost is reduced. P.C.R. srl chose a pultruded composite skin for the new Sheraton Hotel in Malpensa which puts sustainability at the forefront of building technology and choice of materials. This breakthrough design was only possible thanks to the light weight, excellent mechanical properties compared to metal, corrosion resistance as well as electrical and thermal insulation of fibreglass. It allows for greater design freedom while its light weight facilitates fast and easy installation. Hugues Jacquemin 3B's CEO stated: "At 3B we see sustainability as a tremendous growth opportunity. 3B fibreglass offers performance, durability and versatility, allowing for the development of better value, longer term eco-responsible solutions. We are forming partnerships to deliver cost effective, light weight and sustainable solutions which offer superior performance, extended life time and design flexibility for a wide range of markets and applications. We look forward to welcoming you at the K 2010 show to further discuss those sustainable innovative solutions". write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
