The 12.5-meter bridge provides pedestrian access through the village of Newchurch on the Isle of Wight, inspired by a similar footbridge commissioned by Network Rail in 2009.

Testing and development of basalt fiber, bioresin and rPET combo achieves rigidity, fire resistance and lightweight properties that meet railway application standards.

The car body consists of 70 percent carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) and is 30 percent lighter than a conventional aluminum construction.

Carbon fiber-intensive design is now carrying passengers in the port city Qingdao.

A new fire protection standard for German rail transport, DIN EN 45545-2, put forth by DIN (Berlin, Germany) now will regulate and standardize the fire protection requirements on a European level. To meet the new requirement, Lorenz Kunststofftechnik developed two new thermoset molding compounds, BMC 0204 and SMC 0208.

The fiber processing and composites manufacturing facility will ramp up INCA’s production of highly refined short and long fibers to substitute increasingly scarce balsa wood in boats, wind turbine blades, rail and automotive.

German innovator offers lightweight while the U.K. “is at materials crossroad” for High Speed Rail 2 set to start construction in 2017.

One-piece, filament wound containers cost less, hold more, last longer.

Company bolsters existing product line into pipeline skids and construction matting parts while maintaining a continued focus on recycled plastic sustainability solutions. 

TrinityRail, in an effort to update a 20-year-old design, seizes the opportunity to apply composites in a structural application in its refrigerated railcar. It’s a first for the rail and composites industry.
