Combine hot compression with resin injection for a sub 3 minute cure
HP-RTM combines hot compression molding with resin injection. A dry pre-consolidated preform is inserted into the mold mounted in the press. Once the press is closed and at the right temperature, the specifically developed HP-RTM resin is injected at pressures up to to 200 bar, filling the tool and flowing all throughout the preform.
Key Benefits:
- Sub 3 minute cure
- Total takt time of sub 5 minutes depending on part size
- Highly automatable processing (preforms through to post mold processing)
- Structural integrity on hot demolding with Solvalite™ 750
- Excellent structural performance
- Internal release agent compatible
- Particularly suited to complex geometries
Typical Applications:
- Serial manufacture of automotive body structure components such as floor pans, sidewall panels, crush cans, bulkheads
