Freudenberg Performance Materials (Weinheim, Germany) is showcasing high-performance textile and nonwoven solutions, including (Arnhem, Netherlands) flow media and spacers for composites manufacturing and surfacing veils.
Composites manufacturers have the opportunity to discuss solutions for optimizing resin infusion and foam injection molding processes with Freudenberg experts, focusing on Enka’s 3D polymeric filament structures used in Enka Solutions flow media and spacers. Use of this technology improves quality and efficiency, the company notes, ensuring customer products meet high standards.
In vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, composites manufactured using Enka Solutions flow media offer an improved bond and enhanced mechanical properties, decreasing the risk of wrinkling and defects in final products. Enka flow media also ensures rapid and reliable resin distribution for full wet-out of the internal structure while keeping glass fiber reinforcement nettings and component surfaces precisely in place.
