During JEC Composites, the Innovative Composites Summit (ICS) will include presentations with dozens of experts. Among them, Waldomiro Moreira, executive of the resins manufacturer Elekeiroz and one of the directors of the Latin American Composite Materials Association (ALMACO) - he is also member of the Automotive Committee of the entity.
Entitled "Lightweight flame retardant thermoset composites with low smoke generation", the presentation is part of the railway forum of ICS and is scheduled to take place in the afternoon of March 28.During JEC Composites, the Innovative Composites Summit (ICS) will include presentations with dozens of experts.

"I will introduce the latest technologies for thermoset composites based on resins and additives that meet and even exceed standards such as the ASTM E-162 and ASTM E-660, which refer, respectively, to the flammability and smoke emission tests. Another highlight is the standard BSS 7239-1988, from Boeing, which is used in Brazil and regulates the spread of toxic gases by burning materials", said Moreira, reinforcing that the Brazilian demand for trains and subways is in frank expansion due to the World Cup and the Olympic Games.
Chemical engineer with postgraduate degree in polymers and an MBA in marketing and finance, Moreira has 38 years of experience in composite materials (raw materials and processes). Before Elekeiroz, company associated with the European DSM, he worked at Cray Valley (Total Group), Henkel Loctite, Reichhold and Mercedes-Benz, among other companies. He is also a professor of the composite materials course at Universidade Positivo.
The Latin American Composite Materials Association (ALMACO) focuses on the integration and development of the composites industry in the region. Founded in 2011 by the Brazilian Composite Materials Association (ABMACO), ALMACO has regional headquarters - the Chilean, already in operation – and the central administration located in Brazil.
