CCIC and Michelin Engineered Polymers Open Joint Laboratory for Eco-Friendly Composite Materials
The CCIC and Michelin Engineered Polymers launch a joint laboratory dedicated to eco-friendly composites
Executive Overview
The Yangtze River Delta Carbon Fibre and Composites Innovation Center (CCIC) and Michelin Engineered Polymers signed an agreement on 6 November 2026 to inaugurate a joint laboratory dedicated to eco-friendly composite materials.
Manufacturing & Process Note
Bio-based, formaldehyde-free resin systems targeting FAR 25 and EN 45545 HL3 R1 require validated lot-to-lot consistency before aerospace and rail qualification; pilot-scale moulding trials at CCIC are the gating step for commercial adoption and will determine whether phenolic replacement timelines hold.
