Resin injection technology

The resin injection technology is a primary shaping process of processing fiber-reinforced composites. Molds are needed on which the targeted geometrical shape can be exactly reflected on the component. The work involved in production and the operation of the mold is determined by the technical specifications of the compo-... 

Two techniques are used for producing the multilayer injection molded preforms. The technology used for the Heinz PET/EVOH ketchup bottle involves simultaneous injection of two or more resins into the mold cavity in such a way that they remain in distinct layers. The second process involves a multiple set of preform molds, with a single resin injected in each step. 

Starchaser Industries have launched Nova, a 11 m tall rocket fitted with cfrp cowlings [87], Man Technologies have developed a carbon composite booster case for Ariane 5 by laying up dry non-crimp fabrics on a cylindrical mandrel, using resin injection under vacuum and curing in an oven at ambient pressure.

To turn the embroidered goods into composites, conventional technologies can be used, such as layout by hand, resin injection processes or pressing. The composite can consist of embroidered products only, or of a combination of standard reinforcement structures. 

Co-injection technology, allowing for the injection of a layer of melt of reground PET flakes into the center of the preform wall, offers a technology of using low cost post-consumer regrind PET bottle resin. 

Tungsten-based catalysts with a Lewis base promoter are used in the polymerization of dicyclopentadiene also isolated from the C5 stream-cracker fraction.150,155 The product poly(dicyclopentadiene) or Metton resin has unusual physical and chemical properties. It is processed together with elastomers to increase viscosity of the end product by using reaction injection molding (RIM) technology.155... 

The most successful application of the RIM-process is in the production of polyurethane-based materials. Other systems, such as composites based on polycaproamide, epoxy resins, and unsaturated polyesters can also be processed by reactive injection molding. New reactive systems have also been specially created for the RIM-process260 because of the exceptional opportunities it offers for manufacture of finished articles from engineering plastics with a high modulus of elasticity and impact strength. The automotive industry, which is the main customer for RIM-articles, can utilize this technology to manufacture of massive parts such as body panels, covers, wings, bumpers and other made of newly developed plastics.
