Reinforcements

Below you will find a brief overview of materials such as SphereCel, fiberglass woven fabrics, fiberglass complexes, RTM mat, Araglass, carbon fiber woven fabrics, aramid fabrics, hybrid fabrics, carbon multiaxial fabrics, PAN veil


SphereCel core materials are made of non woven textiles that are volumized with thermoplastic microspheres. There are different types in 1.2 – 12 mm thickness that are commonly used in open and closed mold processes. SphereCel products are suitable for making fiber reinforced components from 4-30 mm thickness; both flat or of complex geometry. Using SphereCel means weight savings of up to 40-60% compared to solid fiberglass laminates with comparable mechanical properties.




SphereCel

For open mold process:

SphereCel® PE: based on polyester veil, 1-5 mm thickness

SphereCel® SBF: based on fiberglass veil, 6, 8, 10 mm thickness

SphereCel® HX: hexagonal structure, 2 mm thickness

 

For closed mold process:

SphereCel® SBF-CM: with integrated flow medium,  6, 8, 10 mm thickness

SphereCel® PrintBlock: as surface improvement, 2 mm thickness

SphereCel® HX-CM: Hexagonal structure, 2 mm thickness
