Processes

• Spray-up: Where laminators use spray equipment to apply gel-coats and fiberglass laminate. |pic|

• Hand lay-up: The application of reinforcement along with a polyester or epoxy resin by hand.

•  Vacuum bagging: The use of a vacuum bag to apply an even pressure over the composite to consolidate the material. |pic|

• Vacuum Infusion Process (VIP): The use of atmospheric pressure to facilitate the infusion of resin into a dry stack of reinforcement and core material. |pic|

• Closed molding processes: VIP, VIP Lite, Resin Transfer Molding (RTM), and other closed molding processes.

• Oven curing: The use of heat to cure an epoxy resin.

• Composite bonding: Bonding of composites, cores, and metals. |pic|
