Chomarat presents two innovations at jec World
For JEC World 2016, Chomarat is unveiling its new glass fibre reinforcement ROVICUT™, which stretches to hug the curves of pipes and conduits that need to be rehabilitated, without sacrificing mechanical performance. The Group will also present a new Sports & Leisure application for its carbon C-PLY™ line.
ROVICUT™, THE FIRST STRECHABLE WOVEN REINFORCEMENT FOR RENOVATING CURED-IN-PLACE PIPES (CIPP). THE ADVANTAGES: REDUCED WEIGHT AND THICKNESS FOR FASTER, MORE COST-EFFECTIVE INSTALLATIONS.
The Chomarat Group developed ROVICUT™ in collaboration with Reline Europe, a leading manufacturer of sleeves for the in situ repair of pipes.
Trenchless technology using cured-in-place pipes (CIPP) consists of manufacturing sleeves from glass fibre reinforcements, coating them with resin, installing them inside a damaged pipe system and curing them under ultraviolet light. The pipes are renovated without opening up a trench, so there is no noise disturbance or dirt, and road traffic is not perturbed.
“ROVICUT™ is unique in the market, because the sleeve thickness is optimized to make it more lightweight, thus making it easier to handle and install, with faster UV cure. So there is a considerable economic advantage,” says Chomarat Sales Manager Marlène Berthouze.
ROVICUT™ was designed specifically for Reline’s new Alphaliner 1800 line dedicated to large-diameter pipes. Because it is stretchable, ROVICUT™ takes the exact shape of the worn pipes, increasing the mechanical performance without adding too much thickness to the pipe interior.
WITH C-PLY™, DYNASTAR LOWERS THE WEIGHT OF ITS “MYTHIC 87” SKI LINE BY 26%, FOR EQUIVALENT PROPERTIES.
Launched in January 2016, the “Mythic 87” line of skis uses Chomarat’s C-PLY™ multiaxial carbon reinforcements. These innovative backcountry skis were first developed for competitive skiing, but are now available for all skiers.
The structure of C-PLY™ carbon reinforcement is optimized in terms of angles, ply weight and fibre alignment, so there is a perfect balance between strength and responsiveness, between high performance and weight. This makes for a more lightweight yet powerful ski.
“Thanks to the use of C-PLY™, we lowered the weight of the skis by more than 25%, making it more comfortable for skiers and providing higher downhill performance. The combination of Dynastar know-how and the high-tech nature of C-PLY™ makes the ski the lightest one we’ve ever produced!” explains Dynastar Product Manager Franz Marsan.
