1 The Role of Recycled Carbon Fibres in Cost Effective Lightweight Structures SPE Automotive Composites Conference & Exhibition Novi, 2016

2 Overview of ELG Carbon Fibre Established in 2011 when ELG Haniel acquired the operations of Recycled Carbon Fibre Ltd. Patented process for recovery of carbon fibre from manufacturing waste and end-of-life products, using a modified pyrolysis process. Recovered and converted more than 1000 tonnes of carbon fibre in R&D programmes have led to the development of recycled carbon fibre products for the compounding and composites industries. Goal: to provide affordable, high performance materials to enable weight reduction in the transportation market. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 1

3 What We Do Carbon Fibre Reclaiming Metal removal and cutting of large composite structures to sizes suitable for downstream processing. Shredding of laminates and prepreg to enable efficient and consistent processing. Fibre recovery via a modified pyrolysis process. Carbon Fibre Conversion Milling. Nonwoven mat production. Pellet production. Product Research and Development Aligned fibre materials. Intermediate materials (e.g. SMC) ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 2

4 Meeting The Industry s Needs Automotive Industry Needs Carbon fibre at $5-$7/lb Low cost conversion techniques to intermediate products. Recycled Carbon Fibre Delivers Carbon fibre at less than $5-$7/lb Potentially low cost conversion techniques to products suitable for use in injection moulding and composites manufacturing. Stable supply chain. Low carbon footprint. 24,000 tonnes of carbon fibre from manufacturing waste, much of this coming from long term programmes using high quality fibres. Less than 10% of the global warming potential of virgin carbon fibre. The key challenge in delivering the potential benefits is development of usable products ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 3

5 Tensile Strength MPa Tensile Modulus GPa Recycled Carbon Fibre Properties Difference in test method 4% reduction in tensile strength after pyrolysis 300 2% reduction in tensile modulus after pyrolysis Impregnated Strand Tensile Strength Pre-furnace Single Filament Tensile Strength Post-furnace Single Filament Tensile Strength 0 Impregnated Strand Tensile Modulus Pre-furnace Single Filament Tensile Modulus Post-furnace Single Filament Tensile Modulus Similar mechanical properties to the original fibre ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 4

6 Recycled Carbon Fibre Challenges Low bulk density = difficult handling Variable fibre lengths Variable nature of material fibre clumps, single filaments ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 5

7 Conversion Routes Pellets for thermoplastic compounding. Nonwoven mats for composite manufacturing. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 6

8 Pellets Designed for use in reinforcing thermoplastic compounds. Intended as a low weight replacement for glass fibres or a low cost replacement for virgin carbon fibres. Challenges: Achieving sufficient fibre length to provide the same mechanical properties as 6mm chopped virgin carbon fibre. Achieving a sufficiently high fibre loading to make the product viable as a base for further compounding. Ensuring a dust-free product. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 7

9 Manufacturing Routes Diced Fibreboard 100% carbon fibre. 6mm fibre length. Not dust free. Multiple processing steps. Lack of consistency. Energy intensive. Ring Die Pellet Mill High carbon fibre content. Not dust free unless large amounts of binder are used. Multiple processing steps fibre damage. Lack of consistency. Energy intensive drying. Extrusion Dust free. Polymer compatibility ensured. Low number of processing steps. Limitations of carbon fibre content. Feeding of recycled carbon fibres. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 8

10 Fibre Length Critical fibre length dependent on the shear strength of the fibre/resin interface. Once targets has been established based on testing, these were verified by comparing mechanical properties with compounds made using 6mm chopped virgin carbon fibre. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 9

11 Tensile Strength - MPa Tensile Strength Comparison Tensile Strength of PP Recycled carbon fibre products provide at least the same performance as virgin carbon fibre products 0 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% Reinforcement Content Milled carbon 6mm chopped virgin tow Extruded pellet ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 10

12 Influence of Processing Parameters Processing parameters for compounding and injection moulding being investigated in a project being carried out with the University of Warwick. Investigating the effects of changing processing parameters on mechanical properties and fibre length. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 11

13 Quantity of Fibres (%) Influence of Processing Parameters 40 Significantly shorter fibre length in pressed fibre pellets Mean fibre length in part 0.48mm 2.6% of fibres longer than 1.5mm Mean fibre length in pellet 0.67mm 6.4% of fibres longer than 1.5mm Fibre Length Extruded RCF Pellet Pressed RCF Pellet Part From Extruded RCF Pellet ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 12

ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 13

15 Performance comparison 15% weight reduction 30% glass fibre reinforced PA g 10% rcf reinforced PA g Higher mechanical properties 15% weight reduction can be achieved whilst providing the same mechanical performance without any change to the design. Higher weight savings achievable with product optimization. Part cost increase to achieve this weight saving ~2%. Over 750,000 tonnes of 30% glass reinforced PA66 compounds used for air inlet manifolds and cam covers each year by the automotive industry potential for over 110,000 tonnes of low cost weight saving! ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 14

16 Recycled Carbon Fibre in Composites Nonwoven mats are the basis of the products for composites manufacturing. These can be either 100% carbon fibre or blends of carbon fibre with thermoplastic fibres. Carbon fibre products can be used in liquid, prepreg and SMC applications. Hybrid products can be used in compression moulding applications. ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 15

17 Consolidation Pressure (bar) Influence of Processing Parameters Processing Characteristics-Fibre Volume Fraction Autoclave Prepreg RTM/LCM and Compression moulded prepreg/smc Carbon fibre nonwovens have different processing characteristics and mechanical properties compared to conventional composite materials. With proper design, they can be used to manufacture low cost, lightweight structures using most high volume manufacturing processes Resin Infusion Fibre Volume Fraction % ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 16

18 Fabic Cost /kg Fibre Cost /kg Affordability Fibre cost $5-$7/lb. 40 Reinforcement products cost $8-$12/lb Virgin Fibre Recycled Fibre Weight savings depend on design criteria, but typically the weight of a recycled carbon fibre part is within 5%- 10% of the weight of a virgin carbon fibre part Hybrid designs comprising approximately 10% virgin carbon fibre and 90% recycled carbon fibre, typically show no weight disadvantage but have a significantly lower cost Virgin Fibre Fabric Recycled Fibre Fabric ELG Carbon Fibre Ltd. - Confidential 17
