Haydale graphene-enhanced composite tooling and automotive body
panels
showcased on new BAC Mono R
Haydale (AIM: HAYD), the global advanced materials group,
announces that its graphene-enhanced prepreg has been incorporated
in the composite tooling and automotive body panels in the new BAC
Mono R, which made its debut at Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Briggs Automotive Company (BAC), working alongside both Haydale
and Pentaxia, built the light-weight BAC Mono R body using
Haydale's graphene-enhanced carbon composite materials.
The component parts have been formed using Haydale's
graphene-enhanced tooling materials. The outcome of the process for
manufacturing the body parts is a full visual carbon material which
can be lacquered or painted as required. Graphene-enhanced tooling
materials offers the potential for significant improvements in the
coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE), a key issue with the use of
metal tooling, the need for superior quality and higher dimensional
stability, and the potential to increase the life of the tools.
Keith Broadbent, CEO at Haydale, commented: "In the development
of this project, Haydale has improved the supply chain whilst
enabling BAC to increase performance of the material. Whilst this
outcome has focused on the automotive sector, the knowledge and
improvements made provide a wider opportunity for tooling materials
across several markets, particularly where there are throughput
constraints."
Ian Briggs, Design Director at Briggs Automotive Company, added:
"BAC is forever an innovator, and being able to release a new car
fully incorporating the use of graphene is just another example of
how we're pushing the boundaries. Niche vehicle manufacturers are
of paramount importance in the automotive industry, acting as
stepping stones for mass-market production technology - and after
the overwhelming success of our R&D project with Haydale and
Pentaxia, Mono R could well be a stepping stone for
graphene-enhanced composite body panels and tooling reaching the
wider automotive industry in the near future."
