LeMond Carbon ("LeMond") announced the results of an independent technical audit conducted by Bureau Veritas of its new carbon fibre manufacturing process.
The audit was conducted on a pilot line at Deakin University's Carbon Nexus facility in Geelong.
The total oxidation time and material properties verified by BV support LeMond's claims to lower costs and significantly increased output versus traditional carbon fibre technology.
Bureau Veritas, a company founded in 1828, is today a world leader in laboratory testing, inspection, and certification services.
Widely regarded as a trusted brand synonymous with quality, BV are highly experienced at auditing innovative technologies and manufacturing processes, which enables reductions of 75% and 70% in capex and energy consumption per kilo of output respectively.
The rapid oxidation process enables LeMond to produce carbon fibre with the lowest embodied energy of any standard PAN-based carbon fibre available today.
