Premium Aerotec, Faurecia Clean Mobility and Solvay launch IRG CosiMo (Industry Research Group: Sustainable Fluid Composites), a private consortium focused on the development of materials and process technologies for aerospace and mass production of thermoplastic composites. car market.
Through a three-year commitment, Premium Aerotec, Faurecia Clean Mobility and Solvay will bring together their expertise, capabilities and resources to meet R&D milestones to meet industry growth expectations and deliver sustainable mobility solutions. Comprehensive adoption, industrialization and accelerated vehicle and aerospace upgrade rates are key areas that the IRG CosiMo Alliance will address.
Premium Aerotec, Faurecia Clean Mobility and ITA Augsburg are also part of a large project alliance to be launched in the Campus Carbon 4.0 program in Bavaria, Bavaria, Germany. The publicly sponsored consortium (CC4.0 CosiMo) will develop new materials and processes for the in situ polymerization of caprolactam into polyamide 6 for high volume applications in automotive applications. IRG CosiMo is an extension of the alliance to focus on a wider range of thermoplastic materials and processes. As a partner of IRG CosiMo, the Augsburg Institute of Textile Technology (ITA Augsburg) will host and manage the alliance, coordinate scientific research programs, and operate equipment for processing new materials into tape and mesh thermoplastic composites. in. All machines will be installed at the Austrian Technology Center (TZA), the core infrastructure element of Augsburg Innovationspark. In cooperation with IRG CosiMo Premium Partners, all installed equipment is also available to companies interested in benefiting from the network. Sharing infrastructure and equipment through open innovation is an efficient way to encourage the development of new materials, data-driven process control and powerful automated manufacturing processes for mass production without disrupting industrial plants.
ITA is a unique textile research organization focused on the development of thermoplastic tape and coil composite systems and will bring a wealth of scientific knowledge to the group. ITA Augsburg launched IRG CosiMo as part of a strategic branching approach to advance innovation in thermoplastic composites including recycled fiber materials. This unique private consortium allows a demand-driven network to maximize customer benefits through a short decision-making process.
