Bcomp explains the powerRib technology. Bcomp presents its new 0/90° powerRibs fabrics, which were developed to take maximum advantage of the flax' high stiffness-to-weight ratio and low density. The powerRibs technology allows designing thin-walled composite parts with a flexural stiffness-per-weight ratio equivalent to a pure carbon composite part, however with a damping performance increased by 250 %. Thus, the powerRibs technology is the solution of choice for composite shell elements with high stiffness- and damping requirements, allowing its use in a wide variety of applications in the Automotive-, Aerospace, and Space industry, ranging from interior semi-structural parts with a unique look, to structural exterior shell elements.
