The fibres have been tested and certified as a compostable material. At the end of their life span they are completely biodegradable and therefore make an important contribution towards the reduction of plastic waste and pollution by microplastics.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, these speciality fibres can be tailor-made according to the customer\u2019s specifications and enable the production of future-oriented materials with integrated functionality. Kelheim offers a variety of options, as for example short cut fibres that can be carbonised and integrated in compounds to create an electromagnetic shield or even electrical conductivity.<\/p>\n<p>A similar effect is achieved by the speciality fibre Electra, a viscose fibre with an electrically conductive additive evenly distributed in the fibre matrix.<\/p>\n<p>But the fibre experts are not restricting themselves to these developments: \u201cAt COMPOSITES EUROPE, we want to generate new ideas and promote development partnerships\u201d, says Dr. Roland Scholz from Kelheim\u2019s R&amp;D team. \u201cFor this, we are geared up with our laboratories and pilot plants in Kelheim \u2013 and our customer benefits from the added value of a fibre that is tailor-made for his requirements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kelheim Fibres is looking forward to many inspiring encounters at stand A36 (Bayern Innovativ), hall 7.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The call to replace crude-oil based substances by materials made from renewable resources is getting steadily louder \u2013 even at the COMPOSITES EUROPE, a fair that focuses on functionality and performance of the latest high-tech materials.
