Product catalog summary
Overview: This document discusses the benefits and process of using Infusion Grade PP Honeycomb in closed molding techniques such as Lite RTM and Vacuum Infusion. It highlights the advantages of this material and outlines the steps involved in the manufacturing process.
Specifications: Infusion Grade PP Honeycomb is designed for optimal performance in Lite RTM and Infusion Processes. It is lightweight, low in density, and cost-effective, making it ideal for creating strong and stiff sandwich structures with resin and reinforcing fibers.
Benefits:
  • Higher and more consistent quality parts.
  • Lower employee turnover.
  • Elimination of VOC emissions.
  • Reduced material costs.
  • Increased production rates.
Process Steps:
  1. Install reinforcements and Infusion Grade PP Honeycomb.
  2. Close and seal the mold.
  3. Inject room temperature curing infusion grade resin.
  4. Demold after resin cures.
  5. Trim the part.
  6. Finish trim and assemble the part as required.
Conclusion: Infusion Grade PP Honeycomb offers an easier process for producing high-quality parts repeatedly, making it a preferred choice for composite manufacturers prioritizing high stiffness and low weight in their designs.
