PIE Polymer Price Reports-September 2023 Bucking the sometimes steep, persistently upward trend for principal feedstock styrene seen since August, resin prices continued pointing downward in September.On average, the decline was modest, but for larger orders rebates could easily reach triple-digit dimensions. Once again, the divergent directions reflected the soft demand. Prices for glass fibre products… Continue reading PIE Polymer Price Reports – September 2023

Pultruded composites contribute to a more sustainable future for construction Increasing energy and resource efficiency in the construction sector will be key to the EU’s ambition of achieving climate neutrality by 2050. By enabling the manufacture of strong, durable and lightweight products, composite materials can help the construction sector improve its environmental sustainability, as well… Continue reading EPTA Industry Briefing: Pultruded composites contribute to a more sustainable future for construction

Opportunities for pultruded composites in energy efficient buildings The building sector’s need for higher performing, more sustainable and cost-effective construction technologies has led to much greater awareness of the advantages composites offer over conventional building materials. Strength, lightweight, corrosion resistance and design freedom are established drivers for the increasing adoption of composite materials in the… Continue reading EPTA Industry Briefing: Pultruded composites in energy efficient buildings

An expanded role for pultruded composites in 5G citites The construction market already presents a huge growth opportunity for the composites industry. But while many drivers for the increased use of composite materials in the built environment such as high strength, lightweight and design freedom are well established, an emerging factor which will further favour… Continue reading EPTA Industry Briefing: Pultruded composites in 5G cities
