Boston Materials, manufacturer of advanced lightweight materials, says it has started shipping Z-axis carbon fibre products made with its new 60-inch wide roll-to-roll manufacturing line to customers in the North America and Europe.

“Demand for our Z-axis carbon fibre products is accelerating across several transportation, electronics, industrial, and consumer markets,” stated Boston Materials’ CEO, Anvesh Gurijala. “The launch of our new industrial-scale production line demonstrates our ability to quickly scale to support our growing customer base.”

Boston Materials COO, Michael Segal, added: “A commitment to quality is in our company’s DNA; the new 60-inch-wide manufacturing line has state-of-the-art and fully-automated in-line quality tracking for 100 percent traceability and quality assurance.”

The first shipments include the company’s SUPERCOMP product, a high-performance 3D carbon fibre material that is designed to enhance vibration damping, energy dissipation, and manufacturability of lightweight composite structures.

Boston Materials also announced the limited release of its new ZRT thermoplastic composite films leveraging high-performance polymers such as PEEK, PEI, PPS, polycarbonate, and more. This new product, also produced with the 60-inch wide manufacturing line, has been developed to greatly enhance thermal management, EMI shielding, and through-thickness mechanical properties in electric vehicle, consumer electronics, and aerospace applications.

ZRT films are made with 100% reclaimed carbon fibre to support the sustainability and circularity targets of Boston Materials’ customers and the industry at-large.

The company plans to install at least two more 60-inch wide manufacturing lines over the next three years in its newly-opened 37,000ft² manufacturing facility in Billerica, MA.
