Contact molding


Contact molding is used in the production of fiberglass. It produces practically any complex shape if:


 •    The product is a complex (or not) the surface of small thickness. Examples: bath, road sign, tram seat, etc.
 •    The product consists of two (or more) surfaces that are bonded together. Examples: pedal boat, boat, etc.


Sequence of manufacturing fiberglass products by contact molding  

   
1) The most difficult stage of this technology is the production of the master model (template-inside) future products, such as wood or fiberglass.        
2) Application of protective and decorative coatings "gelcoat"         
3) Application of the binder and chopped roving using the equipment for the manufacture of fiberglass with external mixing system         
4) Seal matrix stitching roller
