The first products made with graphene composites were presented at the JEC World Composites trade fair held in Paris this March. These are pultruded profiles with graphene that, thanks to this nanomaterial, improve the mechanical properties of conventional pultrusion profiles. They maintain the same weight but significantly increase strength — even surpassing that of steel, something unthinkable until the arrival of graphene.
At Polymec, we manufacture pultrusion profiles with graphene, marketed under the name CompoSmart, in Murcia.

The most innovative nanomaterial of recent times is set to play a key role in the future of composite materials. Graphene’s mechanical properties make it an ideal material to incorporate into composites to enhance their strength and durability.

At the JEC World in Paris, a section of a boat similar to the Graphenano One could also be seen — a vessel unveiled last October in Alicante to great anticipation, as it is the first boat built entirely from graphene-enhanced composite. Among its advantages: greater strength, lighter weight, higher speed, fuel savings, reduced material use during production, and lower environmental impact.

Graphenano Composites works with Gazechim for the supply of resins, which are enhanced with graphene in Graphenano’s laboratories.

On March 9th, the second meeting of the RECOTRANS Project consortium was held, coordinated by AIMPLAS, in which we are partners.
The goal of this project is to develop a new manufacturing system to produce multi-material composites suitable for the transport industry, achieving lightweight, high-quality materials.

The next steps will include defining and designing the three demonstrators, finalizing the formulation of the materials, setting the parameters for the laser technology, and integrating microwave technology into the resin transfer molding and pultrusion lines.

The alliance between Gazechim Composites Ibérica, Graphenano, and Polymec S.L. is set to revolutionize the construction sector and promote the use of composite materials within this industry.
These are the first pultrusion profiles made with graphene, the most innovative nanomaterial, which will play a key role in the future of composites.

At Polymec, we are committed to protecting the environment. That’s why we carry out initiatives aimed at promoting energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources, strengthening a sustainable and high-quality model within our facilities.

As part of this effort, we have renewed our lighting systems with LED technology and installed a new compressor, achieving an annual reduction of 30 tons of CO₂ emissions into the atmosphere.

This initiative has been co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the Region of Murcia.
