Composite manufacturers will have the opportunity to discuss solutions for optimizing resin infusion and foam injection molding processes with the experts, focusing on Enka®’s unique 3D polymeric filament structures used in Enka®Solutions flow media and spacers. With this technology, manufacturers benefit from a marked improvement in both quality and efficiency, ensuring their products meet the highest standards.

In vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, composites manufactured using Enka®Solutions flow media have a superior bond and enhanced mechanical properties, which significantly decreases the risk of wrinkling and defects in the final products. Enka®Solutions flow media ensure rapid and reliable resin distribution. This guarantees full wet-out of the internal structure whilst keeping glass fiber reinforcement nettings and component surfaces precisely in place.

Freudenberg will also be presenting Enka®Solutions spacers, which contribute to faster production cycles and reproducible high-quality finished products.

Nonwoven surfacing veils for anti-corrosive coatings in piping and tank construction, UV-resistant facade panels, and other FRP end products.

Freudenberg’s surfacing veils are an essential part of FRP components and provide abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, smooth surfaces, and enhanced mechanical strength. As one of the world’s leading nonwoven manufacturers, Freudenberg’ portfolio of technologies is well suited to meeting the different needs of FRP part manufacturers. At JEC, the company’s experts will highlight the wide variety of technical capabilities for combining glass, PAN, and PET, in the shape of fibers or filaments, using their unique nonwoven expertise in wetlaid, drylaid, and spunbond processes.
