Increasingly, the aerospace industry requires composite materials that offer a wide range of balanced performance - in-plane mechanicals, damage tolerance coupled with robust manufacturing.
At a time when fast adoption and reduced costs are essential for innovative applications, it is equally important for advanced prepreg systems to provide users with a common solution for multiple applications. Attendees will learn about Solvay’s new primary structure material technology, its benefits, balance of properties and variety of manufacturing attributes to help drive growth in the aerospace industry.

Kevin Dupuis
Senior Customer Engineer
Kevin Dupuis is an aerospace engineer working at Solvay Composite Materials as a senior customer engineer. He has been working in the aerospace industry on development of composite materials and processes for the last ten years. He joined Solvay about two years ago from an aircraft OEM where he worked primarily as an M&P engineer. His involvement includes initial manufacturing, testing, certification and ramp-up of large- to small-scale composite structures for new commercial and business jet programs. He was also involved in cost reduction initiatives for more affordable composite parts as well as R&D projects where he has had a chance to work with different prepreg and adhesive systems, manufacturing processes, tooling and part inspection techniques. His current focus is on the development of materials and processes for high-rate manufacturing of composite parts aimed at increasing manufacturing rates, lowering cost and improving performance in aerospace and urban air mobility platforms.
