Caring for what we have and giving it a new life — that’s the mantra behind the GREENMUR project, which has shaped its waste management solutions for the construction sector around the principles of the circular economy, the model that will make this industry truly sustainable.
Through its waste management innovations, GREENMUR aims to accelerate the adoption of a circular economy model that prioritizes the responsible use of resources and their reuse — extending their lifespan in a context where reduction, reuse, and recycling are essential to prevent the collapse of current production systems and to transform them instead.
The project’s sustainable solutions are based on Additive Manufacturing of construction elements using micro-concretes made from a mixture of limestone, gypsum, and fiberglass waste.
GREENMUR offers an effective approach capable of turning waste into raw materials. The project, coordinated by Polymec, GLS 2014, and Yesos Rubio, in collaboration with the Technological Centre for Marble, Stone and Materials, has received financial support from the Development Institute of the Region of Murcia (INFO) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
Graphene has moved from being a laboratory promise to becoming a tangible tool for solving real-world challenges in technology, medicine, energy, and manufacturing. If you work in industries where innovation and performance matter, understanding what graphene is, what it’s used for, and how it can be applied can help you make a qualitative leap in your projects.
This article offers a clear, professional, and practical guide to graphene — its properties, current applications, and how it can benefit your field of work.
Graphene is a material made up of a single layer of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal lattice, similar to a honeycomb. It’s so thin that it’s considered two-dimensional, yet so strong that it can be harder than steel.
Although it was first isolated in 2004, graphene quickly became a cornerstone for advanced technologies. From flexible electronics to new medical treatments, graphene is reshaping entire industries.
If you need materials that combine high mechanical, thermal, electrical, and chemical performance with low weight and thickness, this material deserves your attention.
The right question isn’t just what graphene is for, but what problems it can help you solve. Here are a few areas where graphene truly makes a difference:
If you work in any of these fields, graphene has likely already entered your technical conversations.
The reason so many companies and research centers are investing in graphene lies in its extraordinary properties. This isn’t scientific hype — these traits directly enhance product and process performance:
These features make graphene a perfect choice for anyone looking to reduce weight, boost efficiency, or add smart functionality to their products.
Although research continues, there are already many commercial and pre-commercial applications for graphene:
The use of graphene in medicine is advancing rapidly. If you’re in the biomedical, research, or healthcare sector, these applications will sound promising:
Thanks to its biocompatibility and precision, graphene is becoming a key player in personalized medicine and medical technology innovation.
Many companies still assume graphene is expensive or inaccessible — but that’s outdated. Its cost has dropped significantly in recent years, and reliable suppliers of functionalized or additive graphene are now available.
At Polymec, for instance, graphene-reinforced composite profiles are already being produced, combining the advantages of fiberglass-reinforced polymers (FRP) with enhanced thermal, electrical, and structural performance, without changing existing production methods.
Graphene is ready to be integrated into production lines, product design, and applied research today.
Understanding what graphene is, what it’s used for, and how to leverage its properties can help you innovate without reinventing the wheel. From industrial applications to medical breakthroughs, graphene is here to stay.
If you’re looking for advanced technical solutions, consider graphene your next ally — and count on Polymec to help you integrate it into your products efficiently.
Carbon fiber has earned a prominent place in the world of composite materials. Its unique combination of lightness and strength has revolutionized sectors as diverse as construction, transportation, music, and sports. In this article, you’ll discover what makes carbon fiber’s structure so special, what types of profiles exist, and how companies like Polymec are leading this transformation.
Carbon fiber is composed of extremely fine filaments made of carbon atoms. These fibers are grouped and combined with resins to form composite materials with remarkable mechanical properties. What makes it so appealing is its ability to withstand heavy loads without adding unnecessary weight to structures.
These properties make carbon fiber ideal for creating strong, durable, and lightweight parts that outperform metallic alternatives.
A carbon fiber profile is a structural piece made using a process called pultrusion. In this process, fibers are impregnated with resin and shaped into rods, tubes, flat bars, or special profiles to create rigid, lightweight components with high mechanical strength.
At Polymec, these profiles are produced in accordance with European quality standards (UNE-EN 13706) and can be custom-designed to meet each client’s needs — from industrial structures to specialized technical components.
Polymec’s range of carbon fiber profiles includes:
Each profile is designed to offer maximum structural efficiency with minimal weight. They can also be produced in small or large batches, depending on demand.
The internal structure of carbon fiber determines its performance. The fibers are aligned longitudinally to maximize tensile, bending, and compression strength, making them ideal for load-bearing structures that require both lightness and strength.
At Polymec, all structural profiles are manufactured to meet E23 class of the EN 13706 European standard, which guarantees the highest levels of quality, rigidity, and surface finish.
The versatility of carbon fiber allows its use across multiple sectors. Some key examples include:
Used to reinforce existing structures or create new ones that better withstand time and harsh environmental conditions.
Its lightness helps improve the performance of boats and vehicles, reducing energy consumption and increasing speed.
In industrial contexts, carbon fiber pultrusion enables the production of lightweight yet extremely strong profiles for high-performance structural applications — in architecture, transport, machinery, and more.
From golf clubs to bicycles and ski poles, many high-performance products benefit from the unique properties of carbon fiber.
Polymec is a company with extensive experience in the composites sector. Based in Murcia, Spain, and with a clear international focus, it specializes in the manufacture of pultruded profiles reinforced with fiberglass or carbon fiber.
Polymec also provides innovative solutions, such as graphene-enhanced profiles, which further improve material performance.
Carbon fiber isn’t just the material of the future — it’s the material of today. If you’re looking for efficiency, strength, and lightness in your projects, carbon fiber profiles are the ideal solution. And if you want a flexible, quality-driven, internationally minded supplier, Polymec is your best choice.
