reinforcing fabric or chopped strand mat are combined transportation; composite construction (Csm), Continuous filament mat (Cfm),<br />

with resin & "sandwiched" between two plastic carrier panels & electrical insulating materials are fabrics & veil<br />

films. the sheet is pulled through forming rollers & made in a continuous lamination process;<br />

the resin is heated & cured to form flat or contoured applications include truck trailer linings,<br />

composite sheet.<br />

clear truck trailer roofs, wall coverings &<br />

corrugated roof panels<br />

Centrifugal Casting Chopped strand mat and/or fabrics are loaded Cylindrical, hollow infrastructure multi-end roving, fabrics & Chopped<br />

into a mold that is then rotated at a high speed. applications such as tanks, pipes & poles strand mat (Csm)<br />

resin is applied to the interior of the mold & the<br />

reinforcements & resin are consolidated through<br />

centrifugal force to the internal profile of the mold.<br />

Chopped multi-end roving can also be sprayed with<br />

resin into a cylindrical mold that is already rotating<br />

at high-speed.<br />

extrusion the process of forming a continuous profile by forcing Automotive, building products, consumer Chopped strands<br />

resin & reinforcements through an endless screw; the goods, infrastructure, sports & recreation<br />

softened, compressed material then passes through an<br />

extrusion die to shape the product or part; extrusion<br />

is used to manufacture long parts such as pipe,<br />

cables, fencing & profiles, or molded parts for doors<br />

& windows.<br />
