Series production capability for fiber composite components with polyurethane matrix
von Frank Deutschländer, Dr. Andreas Ferencz
Henkel has developed a new polyurethane matrix resin for the resin transfer molding process (RTM) that will speed up the production of composite components in the automotive industry. Henkel’s know-how in the field of polyurethane-based composite matrix resins and the expertise of KraussMaffei, a leading manufacturer of machines and systems for the production and processing of plastic and rubber, have proven to be a perfect match. The outcome: Curing times of just one minute are now possible – a significant advance for fast and efficient volume production of fiber composite components.
