Resin Transfer Molding
(RTM), also referred
to as liquid molding, is commonly used in the
aerospace and automotive industry. The
process consists of mixing resin with a
hardener and injecting the combination into
a mold which contains dry fiberglass. The
static mixer regulates the resin/hardener
mix to a certain ratio which is usually 2-3%
hardener. The mix is then injected at a low
pressure of 30 psi into a mold. The resulting
part is cured at room temperature for several
hours.
(We can make parts up to 8' x 10' ft.)
