A350 luggage compartment support rods
High-performance thermoplastic overmoulding on injection composites

Thermoplastic bonding overmoulded onto a carbon profile using a process patented in collaboration with EPSILON COMPOSITE, advantageously replacing traditional bonding or riveting solutions.
Advantages :
● Reduced weight
● Combination of two reliable, industrial processes (pultrusion and injection)
● Production speeds
● Reduced production costs

"Somocap has been working with us on a number of innovative projects over the past ten years, contributing its expertise in the overmoulding of technical parts in thermoplastic composites, mainly to produce carbon fibre connecting rods. From the outset, we initiated a fruitful collaborative partnership based on mutual trust between the company's directors and an excellent working relationship between our respective technical teams. This collaboration has been marked by technical and commercial successes in various aeronautical and industrial applications, and we look forward to continuing to develop future finished products in composite materials together."
