Business Wire
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.
