Resin Transfer Molding
This process involves generating a preform from a dry or slightly tackified fibrous reinforcement. Then it is placed in the mold cavity. Once enclosed air is evacuated from the structure and the catalyzed matrix resin is introduced at a controlled rate. CTL has ten single component injection systems which are ASC processor controlled.
Sandwich Structures
These composite structures are composed of a lightweight core, usually honeycomb or structural foam, encapsulated by thin, structural skins. CTL has the capability to produce both flat and highly controlled contoured sandwich structures.
