New Epoxy Infusion Company

A new company has entered the epoxy infusion space with an automated system for handling, mixing and delivering resin 'on demand'. This eliminates workers having to handle large volumes of epoxy in pails themselves which can create issues related to mixing consistency, bulk exotherm, waste production and potential bulk exotherm issues as well as waste from vacuum bags, resin tubing and peel ply.

Resin infusion is used to produce lightweight/high strength one-piece composite parts like boat hulls, wind turbine blades, and building cladding panels with exceptional laminate properties and reduced manufacturing costs compared to hand lay-up methods. composite vehicle repairs It offers improved laminate properties while drastically cutting costs of production.





Infusion stands out as an effective process to avoid worker exposure to epoxy and reduce allergic reactions in a safe, closed molding environment, making this an attractive solution for manufacturers who must comply with European regulations limiting exposure levels in the workplace. This is particularly advantageous when trying to meet European exposure limit regulations for styrene exposure levels in their production facilities.

Infusion manufacturing processes like RTM may save on production costs when producing large volumes of identical components or where tooling costs would otherwise become prohibitive. Furthermore, Infusion allows for better fiber-to-resin ratio and reduced wall thickness to produce lighter products.

Infusion technology is rapidly progressing and numerous resin suppliers now provide low-viscosity epoxies designed for infusion. This rapid advancement can be largely attributed to wind turbine manufacturers who have driven its development for massive structures like wind turbines. Recently, LM Wind Power announced a four-hour infusion of their P73.5 turbine blade's shell featuring a glass fiber/balsa core due to speed of new Baydur polyurethane resin for infusion - setting an unprecedented record time!
