5 Common Mistakes to Avoid When Using Epoxy Resin Dispense Systems

Image
  The epoxy resin is widely used and versatile because it finds primary use in a lot of sectors, from making crafts to manufacturing. The vital elements of precision and correct techniques can cause a perfect finish when using epoxy resin dispense systems. Even at this professional level, some mistakes or conditions may be caused to result undoubtedly in a bad finish. To keep you from these issues, here are the five common mistakes you should be keen about while handling epoxy resin dispense systems. 1. Wrong Mixing Ratio The most common fault with epoxy resin or multicolor gelcoater is off-mixing ratios. Most of the foregoing consist of two components, resin and hardener. The ratio of components has to be very accurate for proper curing. Too much resin and it will be sticky or soft; too much hardener and it could cure too fast or be brittle. Never underestimate the manufacturer’s recommended mixing ratios, and to avoid mistakes, you should use the proper measuring devices a...

What are the Innovations in Wetout/Chop Processing?

In composite manufacturing, Resin Impregnator is one of the most prominent techniques used in the production of high-quality composites. With developing industries striving to come up with advanced materials with superior performance characteristics, innovations in Wetout/Chop Processing will be very critical. Such innovations increase efficiency related not only to the process itself but also to the potential scope for composite applications. 1. Advanced Resin Systems Probably the most meaningful advancements in Wetout/Chop Processing have been that of advanced resin systems and those utilized in RTM/Resin Transfer Molding. Traditional resin systems, though very good, do have their shortcomings where curing time, mechanical properties, and environmental impact are concerned. New and improved RTM resins have been developed with enhanced properties like faster cure time, higher strength, better thermal resistance, etc. For example, low-viscosity RTM resins could effectively wet the fib...
