Michelman has invested in the FIMATEST adhesion measurement system to ensure their sizing solutions continue to contribute to the enhanced performance of composite parts.
“As we continue our vision to be the interface experts, it is critical to have analytical equipment that can efficiently fine-tune our sizing to optimize adhesion properties. Optimized adhesion is one of the key performance attributes we provide our customers, and the fact that the Textechno FIMATEST system works according to the fiber pull-out principle makes it extremely valuable,” explains Steve Bassetti, Michelman’s Global Marketing Director for Industrial Manufacturing. “We have utilized this equipment in our development lab for almost two years, and it is suited for any fiber-matrix combination we have developed. It has been helpful that Textechno developed these instruments because they are, and will continue to be, a great benefit to the entire composites industry. We look forward to supporting Textechno in establishing more standardization for the Industry regarding fiber-matrix-adhesion and processing properties. “
Dr. Ulrich Mörschel, CEO of Textechno added, “We are proud that Michelman, the industry’s leading interface experts, invested in our testing system.” Bassetti further elaborated on the system’s benefits, “For Michelman’s customers, this equipment has allowed for great collaboration, increased screening of sizing concepts, and a more robust and efficient product development process.”
Dr. Michael Effing, Senior Advisor to Textechno and one of its relationship managers said, “I am happy to support the matchmaking between these two organizations because the market for high-end structural composite applications in the aerospace, automotive, and wind energy sectors is growing at a rate of 6-8% year over year, representing over $125B globally. 90% of the market value is glass fiber-based, and 10% is carbon fiber-based. Therefore, reliable testing systems measuring the quality of fibers, fabrics, and the quality of the fiber-matrix adhesion are of tremendous importance to the industry.“
