Introduction: International Conference and Exhibition on Reinforced Plastics (ICERP 2023) was held during 18th to 20th January 2023 at Bombay Exhibition Centre, Goregaon (East), Mumbai. The ICERP event is being organized by FRP Institute and the aim of ICERP event is to bring together the entire composites value chain to explore new business opportunities in the field of Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites and to give updates on latest technological advancements and developments on Composites. The event had following programmes such as Exhibition, Conference, Innovation Award Programme, product display, process demonstrations, Technical Sales Presentations, networking programmes and business meetings.
Inauguration: The event was inaugurated on 18th Jan 2023 at 10:30 AM by the Chief Guest, Dr. G. Satheesh Reddy, Scientific Advisor to Defence Minister, Govt of India. He gave a very inspiring speech to the Composites industry professionals to make India one of the leading Hub for Composites Manufacturing and to make India Self-reliant on various applications sectors. He emphasized the importance of Materials Technology, Composites applications in various Sectors, Need for Innovation Institutes, Funding opportunities created by Govt of India. He suggested the Industry professionals to deliberate on Industry needs and come up with suggestions.
Excerpt from his speech is given below:
“The utility of the composites materials has been expanding to all the domains of the society whether it is civilian or the automobile or the aerospace or the defence sector. Applications of composites have been growing day by day because of the special features available with these materials. In the field of composites, lot of work has been done in the country and various organisations are working and trying to improve the capability in the country. National Aerospace Laboratory at Bangalore, the Defence Metallurgical Laboratory (DMRL) at Hyderabad, Advanced System Laboratory and other laboratories which are under the Department of Space or in the Department of Atomic Energy, are striving to work on new technologies. That is how in the aviation sector or in the space sector or in the defence sector, or in the automobile sector, the applications of composites have grown.
For any country to be self-reliant, or any country to prosper, two things are important. One is that the country should be strong enough in its materials technologies and in materials processing technologies. Second the country should be strong in manufacturing sector utilising innovative technologies”.
The country has been working on various materials and there are necessary policies in place to support the materials development in the country. Composites industry plays a major role, and the industry is growing large and will contribute in largescale in future with products which are going to come up. I suggest that the composites industry should have a couple of Centre of excellence or innovative manufacturing institutes in the country. With the support of the industry and the government, we can bring in latest innovative technologies. The centres can be at academic institutes or can be in a cluster of industries wherever they are existing. For example, the one we have in our country- the South India Textile Research Association (SITRA), which is based at Coimbatore, a research institute sponsored by the industry and the government.
Further, the Ministry of Defence through various schemes and mechanism, have been supporting the whole industry and innovations in a big way and composites industry in specifically. Taking the composites utility in various sectors of industries is one aspect, and secondly supporting many schemes in R&D and innovations in the industry.
I request this conference to deliberate on the technologies- what are the trend, what are the new technologies, and what is the way forward and if possible, also deliberate on who should do what. We should know which the academic institutes, R&D organisations, and industries, and how do they work and who are all working in this area. If you can devise these, we will be able to take that forward and support the academic institutes, R&D organaisations, I suggest you to come out with what you need from the government-the support mechanism- and submit a paper to us. We will again deliberate and take-up with the government and will try to see what the measures the industry needs in the country to make this particular sector way forward”.
Earlier in the programme, the keynote address was delivered by Mr. Pawan Tyagi, Business Head, Reliance Composites Solutions and he stressed upon importance of quality and standards, Carbon fibre manufacturing and capacity building outlook by Reliance Industries Ltd.
Mr. Pawan Tyagi said that from his experience with composites the major challenge the composites industry facing is the price. Other challenge the composites industry facing is the quality issue. If we focus on quality and operational excellence the composites industry has significant gap and we need to build on.
Talking about Reliance Composites solutions (RCS) he said that, through acquisition from Kemrock Industries by Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), RCS is the only organization in the world having all possible composites manufacturing processes under one roof. RIL aims to become largest producer of UPR and specialty epoxy resin in India through innovation and Product Development
Referring the emerging new avenues, he said that Carbon Recycle and Circular Economy is a multi-trillion business and is an opportunity for India and the world. Opportunity to make clean and green energy is abundantly available at an affordable price. New Energy proposition is key to achieving to the committed Net Zero carbon by 2035 goal.
Quoting RIL Chairman he said that New Energy business is far more ambitious, far more transformational, and far more global in scope than anything Reliance has ever done before.
Explaining RIL’s focus on composites business, he said that development of New Materials is key requirement to support for New Energy business. Consistent with RIL’s vision for New Materials, it will build in phases India’s first and one of the world’s largest carbon fibre plant at Hazira with a capacity of 20,000 MTPA. RIL will Integrate composites business with carbon fibre to produce carbon fibre composites. Carbon fibre enables meeting the rapidly growing light-weight requirements of mobility and renewable energy, thus promises to be a multi decade growth engine. For Reliance, Hydrogen is not new as the largest producer of Grey Hydrogen. To uptake this Green Hydrogen and enable storage and Transport capacity, RIL will work towards developing Type-III, Type-IV Pressure Vessels.
The ICERP 2023 Conference Chairman Prof. Hota Ganga Rao made a very informative talk on Composites in Civil Engineering, FRP bridges built in USA, about Network of experts working on Composites, Corrosion and highlighted the potential use of composites as India has huge coastal line where composites can play a role on structural applications and corrosion prevention and he emphasised the importance of Standards.
Describing his experience, he said that under CICI, USA (Center for the Integration of Composites into Infrastructures), 4 of the universities have been working together for the last 14 years in developing the different composites with an idea to enhance with service life and reduce cost at the same time to bring some degree of value addedness. He said that his team-built lattice structures about 100 plus feet using composites for about one tenth of the price in comparison with conventional steel lattice systems, as an example.
He said that natural fibres which are abundance in developing countries like China and India and these countries have less amount of landfills and the volume of the discarded material is increasing. His team has found certain techniques to recycle and how to bring value addedness in terms of developing a set of products that are again dealing with the civil infrastructure.
He highlighted the use of FRP reinforcing bar, also called rebar which is non-corrosive and non-conductive and concrete can be made utilizing the rebar and that is not going to get any kind of corrosive effect in the concrete structure. He said that he has been doing this work for 38 years, on these rebars and has built a number of bridges and building using these rebars.
Mr. KumarpalRawji, Chairman, FRP Institute, in his address highlighted the potential and opportunities for the composites in India in near future.
“JEC and FRP Institute have been in active talk to take the partnership to the next level to hold joint programs for the benefit of both the association members in the future. This year we have a new partnership with the Indian Technical Textile Association (ITTA) and this is the first year of our association and we look forward to build on this association in the future”.
He mentioned that the areas like Renewable energy, defence sector and Electric vehicles playing a pivot role in the growth of the composite industry in India.
India’s per capita consumption stands at 0.37 kg compared to that of USA with the highest composite consumption (11.5 kg) per Capita and hence offers the Highest widespread Opportunities in terms of Composite Consumption Per Capita.
This instils a sense of confidence to the end users to switch applications from traditional materials to composites and gain its advantages. With standard specifications in place the manufacturers will also be able to confidently market their products. This will also help SME’s and new startups to make standard and quality products. With this, Internationally, Indian products will be widely accepted opening greater export opportunities. Once the standards are in place, more testing labs shall start offering testing facilities which in turn will make testing more accessible to the manufacturer thereby building confidence in the end user. It would be incomplete without remembering our Late Shri Pradipbhai Thakkar and his contribution to FRP Institute and ICERP Show. We all missed him during organizing the ICERP. We thank him for giving us the guidance for all these years which gave us the direction and confidence to organize the event”.
Ms Piya Thakkar in her welcome speech said that post pandemic, economic growth in India is likely to top the list of the most attractive markets in the world. The penetration of composite materials is still significantly low in most of the end-use industries in India as compared to the other matured markets, such as the USA and Germany. This growth is possible and can be accelerated if we are sensitive to the quality of composites we manufacture. Excerpt from her talk is given below:
“In India now is the time to develop newer applications in composites backed with standard specifications approved by the Bureau of Indian standards and government agencies.
As the number of applications where composites are replacing other conventional materials increases, there arises a need for development of approval standards and regulation that projects & organizations can adhere to. Our industry needs to play a vital role in realising our Honourable Prime Minister’s Noble Vision of ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’. We must work hard to improve our technological capabilities so that we are able to indigenize all the different parts of the composites value chain to internally provide for the country’s growth needs. We are yet to have our first carbon fibre manufacturing facility and having that will be crucial to reducing our dependance on sourcing critical raw materials for defence from other countries. Similar to carbon fibre there are many other upsteam chemicals which if manufactured in India can reduce our dependance on imports and global supply shortages.
For a sustained growth in composite industry, we shall have to invest time in building product standards.
We have large Investments being made in Composite Industry by Multinational Companies and hence look forward to their contribution in making a difference in getting our Industry more organized and putting the industry at par with international players.
ICERP 2023 Exhibition: The exhibition was inaugurated by the Chief Guest Dr.G.Satheesh Reddy and he visited various stalls in the exhibition and briefly interacted with the exhibitors and with the media. He explained to the media the various advantages of composites and its applications in various sectors. There were totally 124 exhibitors participated in the event.
Exhibition Highlights: Indian and Foreign exhibitors put up a great display of their brands with booths of global standards. The visitors were highly impressed by the show as they were able to see the variety of materials, tools and products in the event as per their feedback received. As per feedback received from visitors of the event they were able to identify various suppliers to meet their needs in the composites value chain.
