Notus Composites, a leading manufacturer of next generation prepreg materials, has achieved a key milestone with the successful shipping of one millionth sq m of fire retardant (FR) epoxy prepreg from its facility in the UAE this month.
Having set up in 2015 but grown considerably in the past 4 years, Notus Composites has completed an extensive program of testing at well-known fire research laboratories in the Middle East and Europe with particular focus on large scale tests to verify material behavior as part of a complete wall or façade system.
Notus has been supplying FR materials for several high profile infrastructure projects in the Middle East, with this latest batch of material being supplied for the new composite Museum of the Future in Dubai.
The one million sq m milestone was reached during a recent production run of Notus’ EPFR-609 glass fibre reinforced epoxy prepreg - a user friendly, long out life, FR prepreg designed for low pressure/vacuum curing at temperatures from 85-120˚C.
EPFR-609 can also be supplied as a resin film or as Notus N1-Preg, the company’s versatile single sided prepreg product format.
“It is a fantastic achievement to reach 1 million sq m of FR prepreg,” remarked Mihir Shah, Managing Director, Notus Composites.
Since its establishment in the UAE, the company has built a solid foundation in the advanced composites markets in the Middle East, Asia and Europe, supplying leading manufacturers in the wind energy, architecture, sports & leisure, and rail sectors.
“We’ve come such a long way since 2015 and are now supplying into some of the largest and most complex composite construction projects in the Middle East. It’s great to see our investment in testing and development being successful, as our clients continue to deliver ever larger FR composite structures,” he added.-TradeArabia News Service
