JEC AWARD 2019 Finalist: Saertex Materials for Refrigerated Trailer

SAERTEX is a nominee among the final three projects in this year´s JEC WORLD Innovation Award competition in the category “land transportation”. Together with its partners, WABASH National Corporation, NEG and Structural Composites, SAERTEX developed an innovative structural composite solution for a refrigerated trailer. The new molded structural composite approach addresses equipment challenges that conventional refrigerated carriers have been facing for years: thermal efficiency, strength, weight and longevity. The molded structural composite is made with a high-efficiency foam core, encapsulated in a shell of polymer-impregnated high performance Non-Crimp Fabrics and covered with a protective gel coat. The 20% weight saving and 28% improved thermal performance lead to a lower consumption of fossil fuels. The JEC INNOVATION AWARD final takes place during JEC WORLD in Paris on MAR 13, 2019. The ceremony starts at 4 p.m. at the Agora area of the show.
