    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSISOverview and Outlook

    During the year under review, the business sentiments remained subdued, depressed and under pressure largelyon account of inflation, shortage of power, weak rupee, weakness in domestic and global industrial activities, highinterest rates and low level of capital investments on account of fall in demand. The GDP growth remained at4.8% in the month of September, 2013. However, in view of the recent union budget, the GDP is likely to improveslightly or remain around the present level.

    The population growth, new infrastructure projects, urbanization, increase in middle class population and thegreen movement will drive composites growth to new horizons in emerging economies.

    Business Review:

    Composites

    This is the Company’s flagship business which accounts considerably of the Company’s topline. The company hasdeveloped the product in such a high caliber that it has expanded its reach to new consumers. This product hasexpressed remarkable performance hitherto, in spite of competitive foreign markets. Although the Company enjoyshealthy order book position, several other factors have hampered its growth at present. However, the Companyhas endeavored its best to strengthen its products in the overseas market and its acceptance is wide-spread.Further, the Company has focused on development of high value added composite products to avail advantageof improving profit margins.

    Wind Energy

    Imaging the world without the electricity is not at all possible, as it plays an important role in people’s lives. Windenergy is specie of the renewable energy which can be replenished in a short period of time. Wind power isleader in the renewable energy sector and growth rate of wind energy is increasing rapidly in the domestic andinternational markets. Kemrock has unique advantage of in-house availability of major raw material, resin andglass fabric for manufacture of wind turbine blade. Kemrock is the preferred supplier of wind turbine blade foralmost all the major wind energy customers.

    Railways

    The composite properties make the material resistant to climate factors and hence it tends to supersede conventionalmaterials, most applications of the new type of materials being addressed to transport industry. The industry hasalso begun to introduce such materials in railway coach, luxury buses and cars. The construction of the firstmilitary vehicles using composite materials stands proof of their quality.

    The main advantage of composites compared to metals, considering the industrial production processes, is superiormanagement which significantly reduces manufacturing times. It is unlikely for rolling stock made of compositesto be rehabilitated but it is definitely more environmentally-friendly and significantly recyclable.

    Composite materials can be used in many applications within the railway industry, viz., infrastructure, interior andexterior parts in rolling stocks. For infrastructure, the main advantages are better corrosion resistance as comparedto metal. It is for this that the composite poles or signaling equipment effectively has lower maintenance costs,longer lifetime than wood and hence composite sleepers, for instance, last more and bears lower weight thanconcrete which in turn enables faster and easier installation. In terms of rolling stocks, the main advantages arelower weight and key advantages to save energy. There is increasing consumption and acceptance of fire retardantgrade composite material in railway coach, interior laminates, luxury buses etc. due to advantage of fuel economy,low maintenance requirement, fire resistance, properties etc.

    Kemrock has introduced Prepreg and Vacuum Bagging System to produce improved quality of high end products.

    Pultrusion products

    Pultrusion is the only manufacturing process for obtaining high quality composite profile continuously, with highmechanical properties. Pultruded products are composed of high performance fibres (glass, carbon, aramid)embedded in a polymer matrix. The process is characterized by, Complex shape and unlimited length, Low laborcontent, wide choice of reinforcement and resins, Low scrap rates, High raw material conversion efficiency andConsistent quality.

    Pultrusion has rich characteristics such as low weight, chemical resistant, electrical and thermal insulating,temperature resistant, low thermal expansion, anti-magnetic, no sparks, electromagnetic transparent custom colours,corrosion resistant, high mechanical strength, easy to machine, low maintenance and reduced transport costs.

  • Kemrock Industries and Exports Limited15

    19th Annual Report 2012-13

    To increase speed of production of pultruded profile in Phenolic resin system, new catalyst system was developedand successfully implemented.

    Aerospace

    Approximately 50% of the airframe is made from composites; a very bold move in the commercial aircraft industry.Aerospace was the first wide-spread commercial application of Advanced Composites. The aerospace industry hascome a long way, from the early days when advanced composites were used for small “inconsequential” non-structural components in an aircraft - to today when entire fuselages and wings are constructed of advancedcomposite materials. In the new Airbus A380 and the Boeing 787 Dream liner-advanced composites account for25% to 50% by weight-a scenario unthinkable even 5 years ago.

    Aerospace composites are extremely critical since many lives depend on a composite structure performing as itshould in an aircraft. Thus, this industry is leading the effort of establishing tough quality systems, includingtesting at each and every raw material before being used and a material trace can be carried out to the mostprimary level of the raw material for every composite component.

    Filament winding (Piping & Tank)

    The filament winding technology is accepted world wide as very efficient method to manufacture light weightcomposite products, meeting high strength requirements particularly to produce pipes and tanks. FRP/GRP pipesoffers significant advantage over metallic pipes due to much higher corrosion resistant, lighter weight, ease ofinstallation, much lower maintenance etc. These non-metallic pipes find preferred application in effluentmanagement, water management, chemicals, transportation etc. Similarly, tanks fabricated using filament windingtechnology is preferred replacement for metallic tanks due to similar advantages.

    New high HDT (Heat distortion temperature) Vinyl ester resin was introduced successfully in pipe division for highthermal stability in corrosive application.

    Thermo-setting Resins Industry

    The Resin market will show a corresponding growth as the Composites market. Unsaturated (thermo set) polyesteris expected to remain the main resin and account for 80 percent of all demand because of its low cost andexcellent properties. Vinyl esters are expected to grow in importance where higher levels of corrosion andtemperature resistance are mandated. Epoxy resin usage is expected to be determined by the fact that they havethe highest mechanical properties of all major resin usage is expected to be in applications where enhanced fire,smoke and toxicity reduction is required. Hence, it can be expected that in the Indian market also, phenolic resinsfor FRP products would be used in specialized applications. The thermo-set resin market for Composites applicationis estimated to be 120,000 TPA in India, with a CAGR of more than 20 percent p.a. Unsaturated polyester resinmarket in India is the largest with a share of 80 percent in composites, followed by Epoxy resins and Phenolicresins.

    The Company is a leading manufacturer of thermo-set resins and also a leading manufacturer of composites. Beingvertically integrated, it is in a unique position to offer customized solutions to other end-use industry as well, thusgiving it a competitive edge.

    Carbon Fibre

    After commissioning Aerospace grade carbon fiber facility during 2010-11, the stabilization of manufacturingfacility with focus on consistency in the productivity and improvement in quality was taken up during 2011-12.All the three grades of carbon fiber (3K, 6K, and 12K) were certified by M/s. CEMILAC, Bangalore during September,2011 and provisional clearance was released for use of three grades of carbon fiber for aeronautical applications.Consistency in the productivity and quality was achieved for poly-acrylonitrite powder, special acrylic fibre andcarbon fibre products.

    Company is in process of commissioning commercial grade carbon fiber facility by procuring and installing someof the balancing equipments.
