🧑‍🔬 Did you know? How can carbon-carbon composite manufacturers eliminate formaldehyde without compromising performance? MICHELIN ResiCare is proud to collaborate with the CEA’s Extreme Materials Technology Laboratory on the evaluation and development of Resi4C/C, our bio-based and formaldehyde-free araminolic resin dedicated to #CMC composites. Driven by a shared ambition to develop more sustainable materials for extreme applications, our teams are assessing Resi4C/C across key stages of carbon matrix composite (CMC) manufacturing. These promising results have already enabled the production of demonstration components, including a C/C-SiC composite brake disc showcased at JEC World 2026. This demonstrator combines: ✔ Carbon fiber reinforcement ✔ Carbon matrix derived from Resi4C/C carbonization ✔ Silicon carbide coating deposited by vapor phase processing This collaboration highlights the potential of a #FormaldehydeFree, bio-based resin as a credible alternative to traditional phenol-formaldehyde systems, while meeting the demands of high-performance composite applications. By combining CEA’s expertise in advanced composites with MICHELIN ResiCare’s innovation in sustainable resin chemistry, we are accelerating the transition toward safer materials for industry.
