The hybrid-composite rear load floor uses unidirectional (UD) thermoplastic tapes plus direct-long-fiber thermoplastic (D-LFT) composites. Thermoplastic tapes provided high stiffness/strength in a ...

Shindo noncrimp fabrics (NCFs) have been used for various products in the aerospace, marine, civil construction, and repair and reinforcement fields. There are four features that characterize this new ...

ROSEMONT, ILL. — While it may seem like injection molding is the only way to produce caps and closures, it turns out to be far from the truth. Compression molding is offering many companies another ...

Compression molding is a high-volume thermoset molding process that employs expensive but very durable metal dies. It is an appropriate choice when production quantities exceed 10,000 parts. As many ...

Compression molding involves forming of complex shaped components by molding of a charge of fiber reinforced prepreg bulk molding compound (BMC) under heat and high pressures. Unidirectional fiber ...

This partnership marks a significant step in National Composites’ continuous pursuit of growth and innovation, particularly in the Sheet Molding Compound (SMC) and Bulk Molding Compound (BMC) domain.
