Composites experts from Owens Corning (NYSE: OC) will showcase the power of composites to “Make More Possible” at CAMX 2024, Sept. 9-12, in San Diego, Calif.

Industry-Leading Solutions to Make More Possible

Owens Corning’s participation in CAMX 2024 supports its efforts to grow material replacement and further its strategy of partnering with customers to boost product innovation, productivity, and sustainability to Make More Possible. Representatives from Owens Corning’s global team of composites experts and business leaders will be on hand throughout the event to discuss the company’s array of industry-leading solutions, including:

  • SUSTAINA® Glass: Innovation Beyond Performance. Manufactured from a combination of post-industrial circular content and traditional glass input materials, SUSTAINA® is Owens Corning’s latest glass innovation supporting its commitment to help protect the planet without compromising product performance. SUSTAINA® is UL-Certified with 35%, 50%, and 100% circular content.1 This advanced glass technology was created by Owens Corning Composites as an input material for a range of products including its multi-end roving line designed for sheet molding compound applications and Type 30® single-end rovings designed for pultrusion and long-fiber thermoplastic processes.
  • HP2 Glass: High-Performance Composites. The second generation of Owens Corning’s high-performance glass delivers a boost in mechanical properties, enhancing part performance and enabling cost optimization through redesign. HP2 glass reduces weight profiles – by more than 9.5% for pultrusion2 and more than 11% in filament winding for poles2 – saving material cost. HP2 also enhances performance of composites structural elements. With processes including pultrusion, filament winding, and long-fiber thermoplastics, HP2 is sized to seamlessly integrate with processing characteristics of most Owens Corning® Type 30® single-end roving products.
  • Smart Packaging Solutions. The new OPTISPRAY® 4-high pallet line enables one-third more product per pallet saving warehouse space, reducing waste, and avoiding unnecessary material handling. In partnership with customers and suppliers, Owens Corning Composites is also refurbishing and reutilizing pallets shipped from one of its North American manufacturing locations. This process has reduced the number of new pallets needed for OC’s operations and eliminated the need for one of its customers to manage pallets in their operation. Together, these actions have helped preserve the equivalent of more than 800 trees.3
  • Local Supply Benefiting Productivity. Owens Corning Composites experts will share details from a case study demonstrating how local supply can boost productivity. Among the benefits of local supply are reduced lead times for delivery, fast service, agile response, and inventory optimization. Local supply also contributes to reduced carbon emissions generated by U.S. customer locations sourcing within region versus products sourced from locations in Asia. As an example, product delivered to Dallas, Texas, from an OC location in the U.S. can result in more than 3x lower CO2 emissions than product sourced from a supplier location in Asia.

Billed as the largest composites and advanced materials event in North America, CAMX 2024 will be held at the San Diego Convention Center. Owens Corning is exhibiting in Hall C, Booth X21.
