    Product Information

    CHEMFAB® Release Solutions for Compression Moulding

    Compression moulding is the most cost effective option for the production of a range of lightweight, high strength interior automotive parts.

    CHEMFAB release solutions are used as processing aids when converting, bonding and shaping materials into composite parts. They are compatible with many press forming processes where they protect the reusable moulds from the molten substrates and ensure easy release. Excellent temperature, mechanical strength and abrasion resistance allows precise reproducibility and reduces overall cost.

    CHEMFAB non-stick release sheets and belts can be configured for every type of machine with features such as guidable edges, different types of joints, and higher strength and textured options.

    Process Information

    CHEMFAB® Solutions for Compression Moulding

    CHEMAB ptfe coated belts and sheets work as release solutions for compression moulding in automotive composites manufacturing
    Zoom Diagram

     

    CHEMFAB process conveyor belts transport the mixture through the oven to the moulding process where pressure and heat are applied to the resins and reinforcement materials where they are bonded to form a composite material for further processing. 

    The conditions of curing must be carefully selected and closely monitored to make certain the product attains the desired geometry and shape.

    CHEMFAB non-stick, very smooth and superior release surface allows for the composite to solidify and be released from the mould in a continuous operation. The easy and consistent release allows for quick mould clean-up. It eliminates the need for using release agents or silicone sprays and therefore reduces the time between cycles.
