Continuous lamination Chopped multi-end roving, continuous filament mat, Building products, electronics, heavy multi-end roving, Chopped strand mat<br />
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 />
