INEOS STYROLUTION Exhibits Innovative STYLIGHT Thermoplastic Composite at Composites Europa and at China Composites Expo

INEOS Styrolution, the global leader in styrenics, announces that StyLight®, the new generation of thermoplastic composites, will be presented at the 23rd China International Composites Industrial Technical Expo in Shanghai, China (September 6-8, 2017) and at the 12th Composites Europe Trade Fair and Forum for Composites, Technology and Applications in Stuttgart, Germany (September 19-21, 2017).

 The new composite combines structural stiffness with surface aesthetics opening up opportunities in the automotive industry to address both, structural and aesthetic demands with a single material. This results in designers rethinking the design of certain vehicle applications.

StyLight offers an excellent mechanical performance profile including stiffness, strength and impact strength. It is on par with today’s most advanced PA6 or PP based thermoplastic composites in the market. At the same time, the material is capable of combining the roles of structural frame and visible aesthetic part. This leaves room for design changes and ultimately weight reduction.

A team of INEOS Styrolution experts will be available at the booth C2/E33 in Stuttgart to discuss the innovative implications of the recent design study for StyLight. In Shanghai, the StyLight demonstrator will be on display in the innovation space of the exhibition.
