OUEST COMPOSITES SECTORS EXPERTISE TECHNOLOGY CONTACT HAND LAY UP Hand lay-up technique is the oldest method of composite manufacturing. It allows the manufacture of parts of all shapes and sizes for small series. The mould surface, treated by release agent, receives the surface layer (gel-coat), then the reinforcement in the form of successive layers of mats or fabrics that are impregnated with resin, usually by hand, to obtain the required thickness. After curing at room temperature or with external heat, the mould is opened and the composite is removed from the mould surface. While the operation is relatively easy to implement and inexpensive in terms of materials, it requires skilled labour. This process can be used to produce large diffusion parts, generally made of fibreglass and polyester resin with a single smooth side. Les applications Vehicle body, fairing Various cowling, interior cover Boat hull Urban furniture Sanitation Small industrial equipment Avantages Large possibilities of shapes and sizes Suitable for shapes with undercuts Mechanical properties: good to average Low investments Inconvénients Only one smooth side Composite part finishing process necessary Quality depending on the workforce Limited production speed High VOC emissions P.A.I du Moustoir B.P. 80216 56402 AURAY (Crac’h) Tél. : 02 97 30 26 26 Fax : 02 97 30 26 10 News I’m coming to work with 08 October 2020 Remember, it was on July 2019, Géry came to visit us, for a great moment of sharing and laughing, from Read more...
