Carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is the material of the future. Lighter than aluminium, stronger than steel, it is revolutionizing aerospace, automotive and industry. This article looks at the technology, the impressive applications, the major cost and recycling challenges and the strategies for the secure procurement of this high-performance material.

GRP is ideal for vehicle construction - light, stable and malleable. But what about fire protection? The US standard FMVSS 302 sets strict limits here. This article explains how GRP meets the requirements with special flame-retardant additives, which test procedures apply and why a technical procurement partner is crucial for the provision of safe, certified components.
