AZL Aachen GmbH: Kick-Off-Meeting zum Projekt "Trends und Designfaktoren für Wasserstoffdruckbehälter"

Das Kick-Off-Meeting zum Projekt "Trends und Designfaktoren für Wasserstoffdruckbehälter", das kürzlich bei der AZL Aachen GmbH stattfand, war eine erfolgreiche Veranstaltung, die mehr als 37 Top-Experten auf dem Gebiet der Verbundtechnologien zusammenbrachte. Mit diesem Treffen wurde ein solides Fundament für das Joint Partner Projekt gelegt, das derzeit ein Konsortium von 20 Unternehmen aus der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette der Verbundwerkstoff-Druckbehälter umfasst: Ascend Performance Materials, Cevotec GmbH, Chongqing Polycomp International Corp. (CPIC), Conbility GmbH, Elkamet Kunststofftechnik GmbH, F.A. Kümpers GmbH & Co. KG, floteks plastik sanayi ticaret a.s., Formosa Plastics Corporation, Heraeus Noblelight GmbH, Huntsman Advanced Materials, Kaneka Belgium NV, Laserline GmbH, Mitsui Chemicals Europe GmbH, Plastic Omnium, Rassini Europe GmbH, Robert Bosch GmbH, Swancor Holding Co. Ltd, TECNALIA, Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA, Tünkers do Brasil Ltda.

Ltd, TECNALIA, Toyota Motor Europe NV/SA, Tünkers do Brasil Ltda.

Das Projekt folgt dem bewährten AZL-Ansatz eines Joint Partner Projekts, das darauf abzielt, Technologie- und Markteinblicke sowie Benchmarking verschiedener Material- und Produktionskonzepte zu ermöglichen und gleichzeitig die Experten entlang der Wertschöpfungskette zu vernetzen.

Das Kick-Off-Meeting diente nicht nur als Plattform, um neue Kontakte zu knüpfen und sich über die Expertise und Interessen der Konsortiumsmitglieder im Bereich Wasserstoffdruckbehälter zu informieren, sondern legte auch den Grundstein für die Ausrichtung der kommenden anspruchsvollen Projektphasen. Als Grundlage für die interaktive Diskussionsrunde erläuterte das AZL den Hintergrund, die Motivation und den detaillierten Arbeitsplan. Im Mittelpunkt des Dialogs standen die Hauptziele, die größten Herausforderungen, der Beitrag zur Wettbewerbsfähigkeit und die Prioritäten, mit denen die Erwartungen der Projektpartner am besten erfüllt werden können.

Die Diskussionen betrafen regulatorische Fragen, die sich wandelnde Wertschöpfungskette sowie die Versorgung mit und die Eigenschaften von Schlüsselmaterialien wie Kohlenstoff- und Glasfasern und Harzen. Das Konsortium definierte Untersuchungen zu verschiedenen Fertigungstechnologien, um deren Ausgereiftheit und potenziellen Nutzen zu bewerten. Konstruktionsauslegungen, einschließlich Liner, Boss-Design und Wickelmuster, werden unter Berücksichtigung ihrer Auswirkungen auf die mobile und stationäre Lagerung eingehend geprüft. Die Gruppe interessiert sich ebenfalls für kosteneffiziente Prüfmethoden und Zertifizierungsverfahren sowie für die Aussichten auf ein Recycling zu Endlosfasern und die Verwendung nachhaltiger Materialien. Es wurde um Einblicke in die künftige Nachfrage nach Wasserstofftanks, in die Bedürfnisse und Strategien der OEMs und in technologische Entwicklungen zur Herstellung wirtschaftlicherer Tanks gebeten.

Die Sitzung unterstrich die Bedeutung von CAE-Entwürfen für Fasermuster, die Eignung von Software und den anwendungsabhängigen Einsatz von duroplastischen und thermoplastischen Entwürfen.

Das erste Report Meeting wird auch den Rahmen für die nächste Projektphase abstecken, in der das AZL Ingenieurteam Referenzdesigns erarbeitet. Diese Designs werden eine Reihe von Druckbehälterkonfigurationen mit einer Vielzahl von Materialien und Produktionskonzepten abdecken. Ziel ist es, Modelle zu entwickeln, die nicht nur die aktuellen technologischen Möglichkeiten widerspiegeln, sondern auch tiefe Einblicke in die Kostenanalyse verschiedener Produktionstechnologien, deren CO2-Fußabdruck, Recyclingaspekte und Skalierbarkeit bieten.

Das AZL Projekt ist weiterhin offen für zusätzliche Teilnehmer. Unternehmen, die an einer Teilnahme an dieser zukunftsorientierten Initiative interessiert sind, sind eingeladen, sich mit Philipp Fröhlig in Verbindung zu setzen.

Huntsman Textile Effects: New PFC-free Durable Water Repellent

Huntsman Textile Effects has released PHOBOTEX® R-ACE, a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) that makes it possible for mills and brands to deliver high-performance outdoor and extreme sports apparel and everyday wear while meeting stringent environmental standards and optimizing production flow.

PHOBOTEX® R-ACE delivers excellent water repellence on all types of fibers. In addition to its remarkable performance on synthetic fibers and blends, PHOBOTEX® R-ACE offers compatibility with resin finishing to ensure even application with unmatchable performance on cellulosic fibers. It offers rain and splash protection for garments that are water repellent and windproof, even under toughest conditions. Additionally, it repels everyday stains, such as mud, coffee, ketchup and juice, so that garments stay cleaner for longer. Textiles treated with PHOBOTEX® R-ACE are breathable, retain their soft handle and continue to look good and perform well through repeated laundering and drying.

The NOVACRON® Atlantic EC-NC blue element completes Huntsman Textile Effects’ Non-Contrasting Concept and addresses the challenges faced by mills to deliver:

  • Improved light-, perspiration- and chlorine-fastness
    Ideal for the production of light-medium shades of towels and bedding and T-shirts, shirts and trousers, the dye meets the most stringent home laundering program requirements of US and Japanese brands, and also performs well in other markets where chlorine is added to water supplies.
  • High NOx resistance
    NOx present in the air makes textile products more susceptible to fading during transportation, storage and retail display. The high NOx resistance of NOVACRON® Atlantic EC-NC enables mills and brands to achieve positive differentiation with textiles that are less likely to fade.
  • Operational excellence
    With unique application properties for both exhaust and pad processes, and outstanding compatibility with all other trichromatic dyes, NOVACRON® Atlantic EC-NC is a breakthrough in right first-time production.

The innovative IP-protected NOVACRON® Atlantic EC-NC dye is also a great addition to the successful NOVACRON® NC concept for earth tone colors. The earth tones – from sand to brown, olive, beige, khaki and grey – are popular in casual wear and sports apparel, as well as for home and hospitality textile products such as furnishing, towels and bedding.
