Kompozyty w rozdmuchu

Koncern LANXESS poszerza zakres zastosowań wytłaczania z rozdmuchem: do procesu produkcji mogą zostać włączone także termoplastyczne materiały kompozytowe wzmacniane włóknami ciągłymi marki Tepex. W ramach studium wykonalności eksperci z firmy zajmującej się produkcją specjalistycznych środków chemicznych wykazali, że elementy wykonane z poliami¬du 6 mogą być produkowane z wykorzystaniem technologii formowania rozdmucho¬wego z jednoczesnym miejscowym wzmocnieniem Tepexem w miejscach narażo¬nych na duże obciążenia. Badania zostały przeprowadzone w centrum technicznym jednostki biznesowej High Performance Materials (HPM) w Dormagen na najnowo¬cześ¬niejszej rozdmuchiwarce zapewniającej warunki zbliżone do warunków panują¬cych podczas produkcji seryjnej. – Elementy charakteryzują się wyjątkową przyczep¬nością, co umożliwia wykorzystanie ogromnej wytrzymałości i sztywności Tepexu – wyjaśnia Arthur Rieb, specjalista w dziedzinie formowania rozdmuchowego w HPM
