In the hand laminate process, glass fiber mats are impregnated with synthetic resin and rolled into a mold. The process is very well suited for prototypes and special productions in small quantities.
We participated in the development of the vacuum expansion process which sandwiches glass fiber reinforcements with foamed polyester resins in construction.
Using the RTM process, we produce components made of fiber composite plastics in large quantities. Complex geometries can be realized with the help of vacuum (VA-RTM) and high-pressure injection (HP-RTM).
Fiber-reinforced plastics with a high fiber volume content and smooth surfaces on both sides can be manufactured using the wet pressing process. The process is particularly suitable for the production of smaller quantities.
Sheet molding compound hot pressing is a technique by which premixed molding compounds made of plastic resin and fibers are processed into fiber composite plastics using low-pressure presses.
In the RIM process, polyurethane is processed into compact foam, integral skin foam and semi-rigid foam. The process is particularly suitable for the production of large, thin-walled components.
We process thermoplastics by thermoforming (also called vacuum “thermoforming” or “deep drawing”).
