CUTTING-EDGE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY TECHNOLOGY ENABLING THE PRODUCTION OF EXTREMELY DURABLE PLASTIC COMPOSITES, REINFORCED BY BASALT FIBRE

Descrizione del progetto

Una produzione di plastica su larga scala rafforzata da fibre di basalto per componenti automobilistici

L’azienda tedesca AFEX GmbH è un produttore di punta di componenti di alta qualità derivati da vari materiali plastici, che vengono venduti in oltre 27 paesi in America, Asia ed Europa. Nel corso degli ultimi anni, l’azienda ha sviluppato un polimero avanzato rinforzato con fibre, utilizzando come fibra il basalto. Rispetto alle plastiche comuni impiegate per i componenti automobilistici, le attrezzature mediche e i beni di consumo, la nuova plastica offre proprietà superiori. Con l’ausilio del progetto COBAS, finanziato dall’UE, AFEX intende ampliare la produzione di un materiale plastico rinforzato con fibre di basalto frantumate, con l’obiettivo di renderlo parte del regolare processo di produzione di componenti automobilistici.

Obiettivo

Our company, AFEX GmbH, (http://www.afex-kunststoff.de(si apre in una nuova finestra)) was established in 1998 as a innovative daughter company of
the technical centre of A-FORM AG (leading manufacturer of moulds and developer of technologies for plastic forming, see
video presentation: http://media.kabeljournal.de/www.a-form.de/a-form.mp4(si apre in una nuova finestra)). AFEX is a leading German manufacturer of
high-grade components from various plastic materials (PA, ABS, PC, PPS, PPV, PEEK) for the professional automotive
(VW, BMW, Audi, Bentley and others), medical, consumer goods industries with a headcount of 22 persons and an annual
revenue of 2.66 million €. Our goal is to recognize industry needs and develop performance-rich innovative products of the
highest quality. Our products are available in more than 27 countries in Europe, America, India and Asia through our
marketing and sales department and global network of customers and partners. We also find it important to present our
latest technologies and products at the finest exhibitions and conventions worldwide. For 19 years our company has been
involved in the manufacturing of complex plastic components using highly diverse materials. In 2013-2017 we developed -
from a national fund and our own resource - an advanced plastic material based on basalt fiber fillers (uncoated) allowing
significant improvement of plastic products properties and also demonstrated this material and fabrication method for some
customers from automotive industry as well as further industries. With the help of the SME instrument funding we wish to
further develop our high-potential innovative technology allowing the series production of these highly innovative polyamide
(PA) plastic parts reinforced with chopped basalt (PABF) fibers and widely sell them to automotive industry. If the feasibility
assessment will have positive result we will continue the project. The EC investment will have its return in 2-3 years after the
market entry.
