Description of the
process
Our products available
for this process
esin infusion represents an environmentally friendly alternative to open molding. Resin infusion is able to produce consistently high-quality parts for products like pleasure boats and windmill blades. The process allows structures measuring several meters that are thick and complex, incorporating cores and inserts to be fabricated.


The principle of the process is the impregnation of layers of dry reinforcement contained between a rigid, air-tight mold and a flexible sheet sealed to it around its perimeter. A partial vacuum is applied to the mold cavity before resin is allowed to infuse into the reinforcement under atmospheric pressure, impregnating both across and down through the reinforcement layers. The upper sheet is removed once resin cure is complete, and the component may be removed.
