JEC World 2017, March 14-16, 2017, Paris Nord Villepinte

Paris, March 6, 2017 – The leading annual Composites Show in the World, JEC World, will once more move in 2 Halls of Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center for 3 days of Networking and Knowledge sharing among Composites professionals and new users to be. Attendees from +100 countries will be hosted.

“Innovation is at the center of the Show.” says Mrs. Frédérique MUTEL, JEC Group President & CEO. “Incremental or disruptive innovation in composites makes the success of JEC World. The new paradigms of our century are lightness, resistance, flexibility, customization, cycles acceleration. Composites meet this quest. During the last twelve months, we have worked hard to analyze end-users’ requirements. We have shaped the show to facilitate the interaction between the composites industry and the final market. New populations such as architects, creators, developers, designers and style engineers, should join. Consequently, we expect a significant growth for JEC World 2017.” she adds.

4 Planets to showcase composites innovation

Following the success of the « Planets » that appeared last year in the show, JEC World are bringing them back in even bigger areas with brand new parts and new end-users focuses. Thus, attendees will find again the AERO Planet (sponsored by Huntsman) and the AUTO Planet (sponsored by Hexion, KDX, and UBC – Crosslink), and discover 2 new Planets i.e. the BUILDING Planet and the BETTER LIVING Planet that will include Composites parts that are and will improve people’s everyday life. Concerning the Building Market, during the show, JEC Group publishes the first book ever issued on Composites Solutions in Construction.

Automotive Composites Circle

The exclusive gathering of top level Producers, Manufacturers and Users of Composites in the Automotive Industry will take place on the 2^nd day of the Show. The by-invitation-only presentations and networking session will highlight the topic “The collaborative process in the automotive Industry, learning experience from the State of Michigan”. Renowned speakers from The Michigan Economic Development Corporation, Faurecia, Ford Research & Innovation Center, IACMI, Leichtbau, Continental Structural Plastics or Bcomp will take the stage to exchange a few ideas. Also, Leilani MÜNTER, Electric GT Pilot, will give a speech at this occasion.

The Automotive Composites Circle is sponsored by The Michigan Economic Development Corporation and Pure Michigan.

6 Conferences to learn about the latest trends in Composites

During the 3 days of the event, 6 conferences involving 53 speakers from around the world will provide the most updated content the composites Industry could reveal. 3 of them will be dedicated to end-using markets:

• Aeronautics: Multiscale Modeling for Behavioral Predictions
• Current Trends in the Automotive Industry
• Composites as a Worthy Alternative to Traditional Materials in the Construction Industry

(The conferences are sponsored by Altair)

“We are very confident with JEC World 2017 session as the show floor has been fully booked for weeks and registration figures are increasing compared to 2016 which was already an exceptional session.“ says Anne Manuèle HEBERT, JEC World Show Director. “There are so many events not be missed during JEC World such as the new STARTUP BOOSTER program on day 1, the JEC Innovation Awards Ceremony on day 2 with keynote speaker Thomas COVILLE, new solo round-the-world record on maxi trimaran and many other special events. Three days will be hardly enough to cover JEC World 2017 and its very complete offer.” she concludes.

About JEC Group:

JEC Group: With a network of 250,000 professionals, JEC Group is the largest composite organization in the world. It represents, promotes and helps develop composite markets by providing global and local networking and information services.

TenCate Advanced Composites, a leading developer and manufacturer of advanced composite materials, will be launching their next generation of fibre reinforced composite materials for aerospace and high performance industrial applications during JEC World 2017 (Hall 5A, U40).

The new thermoplastic and thermoset prepreg systems which feature enhanced processability and performance capabilities include:

Aerospace
TenCate Cetex^® TC1225 – An engineered PAEK-based thermoplastic prepreg that harnesses high performance mechanics with lower processing temperatures for aerospace applications. Suitable for overmoulding with PEEK, the PAEK composite materials from TenCate enable form freedom and part consolidation in the highest performance applications. Available in carbon-based UD tape, laminates and semi-preg fabric formats.

TenCate TC380 – a toughened epoxy with outstanding compression after impact and open hole compression strengths, making this system ideal for aerostructure applications on helicopters, UAVs and military aircraft.

High performance industrial
TenCate E732 – a toughened epoxy prepreg that that achieves a full Tg of 170°C (338°F) in 4 minutes at 160°C (320°F), for press moulding processing. Suitable for high volume industrial applications, this prepreg system has a robust processing window and can also be used in autoclave processing.

Unique applications on display
The comprehensive range of advanced composite materials from TenCate will also be displayed through a set of unique end-user applications, including the world’s first SpaceX Hyperloop pod competition winner from the Technical University of Delft, made using epoxy prepregs from TenCate’s European centre of excellence for thermoset systems.

A range of diverse thermoplastic applications across aerospace and industrial markets that utilise TenCate Cetex^® thermoplastics will also be displayed, including:

• A full size Airbus A380 engine pylon cover,
• high performance sports footwear from Nike and
• the world’s lightest laptop, the HP Spectre Ultrabook.

TenCate Advanced Composites is a leader in the development and production of advanced thermoset and thermoplastic composite materials. With production facilities & operations in Europe, North America and Asia, TenCate supplies a portfolio of thermoset and thermoplastic prepregs in fabric, unidirectional tape, bulk moulded compounds and reinforced thermoplastic laminate (RTL) formats across aerospace and industrial markets. Key brands include TenCate AmberTool^® tooling prepregs and TenCate Cetex^® thermoplastic composites.
