Cobra International (Chonburi, Thailand), manufacturer of advanced composite products for the watersports, automotive, marine and industrial sectors, is highlighting its manufacturing process and finishing capabilities at JEC World 2023. At Cobra’s booth (Hall 6, Stand E28), visitors will be able to see how different aesthetic and material processing options can tailor both the look and performance of composite components selected from all key Cobra market segments. Automotive CAC, the automotive business arm of the Cobra Group, will present a range of autoclaved prepreg and forged carbon parts for both structural and cosmetic applications. In addition to Cobra’s trademark visual carbon parts, CAC will also showcase tinted flax, black aramid and carbon glass hybrid options that offer OEMs the opportunity to enhance dielectric properties, improve overall part cost or reduce component CO2 equivalents. Demonstrating the capabilities of CAC’s world-class paint and coating facility, woven and sheet molding compound (SMC) parts will be displayed with matte, satin, gloss and even hybrid body colour and visual carbon options. Natural fibers, bio-based composites and recycling Cobra is emphasizing its work with natural fibers, bio-based resins and recycled/recycable materials. On display at the show will include watersports, automotive and industrial components, including a high volume flax fiber composite enclosure for an eMobility charging unit, all of which have been optimized to make best use of more sustainable materials. Visitors will be able to see fully recyclable windsurf glass fiber and epoxy windsurf fins as well as a concept wingfoil board that up-cycles Cobra’s own SMC and EVA foam production waste to maximize usage of these high value materials. Watersports Cobra has been an innovator in watersports since 1978. JEC World water sports exhibits will include: a lightweight surfski with an exposed carbon finish foiling windsurf and eFoil boards a biobased surfboard with a recycled PU core a range of components moulded for Skeeta Boats a new composite steering wheel for Schmitt Marine The company will use a series of eFoil wing components to demonstrate how wet layup, press molding and oven curing processes can be used with a range of EPS, PU and PMI cores to tailor the sandwich component performance and cost to each customer’s requirements. Design and development Cobra’s Design & Development studio works with clients on a varied mix of components. Examples on show at JEC World 2023 include Essence of Strength’s carbon fiber barstool, the Vetal Drone for Hive Ground and an ankle foot orthosis for Elysium Industries. For each of these projects, Cobra defined and optimized the composite structure and production methodology, enabling its customers to match customer demand with scalable mass-production. “Our focus for JEC World 2023 is to show visitors how Cobra can make every composite part into something truly exceptional,” says Danu Chotikapanich, CEO, Cobra International. “Careful selection of materials, manufacturing processes and visual finish options, combined with Cobra’s 45 years’ of experience with high volume composite production, means we really can create the perfect solution for every component.”
