Overmolding integrates Polystrand tapes and multi- ply laminates into traditional thermoplastic molding processes, such as injection and compression molding, to create locally-reinforced, molded components. Read the Rome Snowboard Binding Case Study bit.ly/34PG0a6 Incorporating Polystrand CFRTP reinforcement in molded thermoplastic components combines the design flexibility and fast cycle times of traditional molding with the strength, stiffness, and lightweighting benefits that composites offer, all with the use of standard processing equipment. Mold to compress and cool into shape CFRTP is preheated and inserted into tool 3 Material heating, melting, and conveying Solid resin infeed 1 5 ON-ROAD TRANSPORTATION Underbody shields, underhood enclosures, interior components, storage OFF-ROAD VEHICLES Skid plates, doors, seat structures, exterior panels & moldings Traditionally, molding with short and long glass-filled polypropylene to gain flexural performance over unfilled polypropylene also results in a loss of impact resistance.

For these reasons, it is often required to over mold TPE immediately after molding the nylon substrate. NYLON MOLDING PROCESS Bonding is also affected by mold design and nylon molding conditions. INSERT MOLDING Insert molding data is reported in Table 3 and Figures 4 through 9.

No matter which process you choose—assembling panels from aluminum, steel or wood; hand lay-up with composites; or producing panels using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process—throughput remains low while costs are high. And because each panel is individually fabricated, laid up or molded, it can be difficult to ensure uniform quality. Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting.
