Our preform binders offer numerous advantages for the mass production of composite parts. They have been designed for resin transfer and liquid compressing molding (RTM/LCM) processes and are compatible with the fast-curing epoxy resin matrices. The products provide stiffness for faster handling and positioning while preserving fabric permeability during injection and molding.
