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.

LONG GLASS FIBER SURFACE AESTHETICS Good surface cosmetics with glass fiber reinforced nylons are difficult to obtain without high mold temperatures that lengthen cycle times. Complēt moisture resistant nylons reinforced with long glass fiber produce a smooth, fiber-free finish without special processing to give molded components a high-quality appearance. Surface gloss levels >70 can be obtained in polished molds with these environmentally stabilized formulations. 1.844.4AVIENT www.avient.com Copyright © 2021, Avient Corporation.

Do note that LSR is generally more capable of reflecting a nuanced mold texture than thermoplastic elastomers because LSR exhibits a low viscosity that allows it to flow more easily across the entire mold and into complex geometries. LSR flows easily into molds with varied wall thicknesses and can fill very long, thin sections of a mold. Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe.
