hand lay-up vacuum process injection / RTM pressing winding pultrusion SMC / BMCE-CR stitched mat long fiber 450 mm
Long fiber stitched mat offers extreme tensile and tear strength and is therefore ideal for all processes under pressure such as vacuum and injection processes resp. pressing as well as for the winding process and pultrusion. Thanks to the fibers, which are up to 40 cm long, the technical properties of the moulded part are absolutely comparable with those of a pre-fabricated part made with continuous mats and even superior due to the more homogeneous and stable bond. Due to the lack of a binder system and the universal fiber size processing can be carried out with all known resin systems.
