Materials Suppliers Subgroup

 

Composites UK recently formed a material suppliers sub group so that both suppliers and users of resins and fibre have a forum where they can exchange ideas on the future trends of raw materials and be made aware of current and future UK & European legislation with which the Industry will have to comply to remain legal.

 

The subgroup will hold quarterly meetings. These will aim to cover all aspects of REACH, packaging and any environmental concerns which are or will be imposed on the Industry.

 

Membership of the subgroup is open to all Composites UK members. An additional £150 is payable per annum which enables the member company to attend meetings free of charge.

Attendance at sub-group meetings is open to all, but fees will apply to non-members.

Syrgis Performance Initiators, previously Norac Inc. and Norac Andos AB, produces organic peroxide initiators for the fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composites (fiberglass) industry and have very kindly agreed to come and give the Composites UK Material Suppliers Sub Group a presentation on their range of products.

 

Topics Covered:

• An overview of the input raw material costs
• What is new
• How REACH could affect the availability of the various types of Initiators now and in the future.

 

This meeting should be of interest to those involved in the supply chain, operations management and formulators.
