PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY

Engineered to optimise production times

RM-90 is the rigid lamination support for manufacturing CFRP components: it enables male-mould lamination directly on the mandrel, maintaining stability and stiffness up to 90°C and 3 bar of pressure without internal bags or expensive tooling. Suitable for use up to 120°C and requires no external mould.

  • ✔Rigid lamination support at room temperature: male-mould lamination directly on the mandrel.
  • ✔Maintains mechanical properties up to 90°C and 3 bar.
  • ✔No internal bag required.
  • ✔Compaction of the skins directly on the mandrel.
  • ✔Smooth internal finish of the CFRP component.
  • ✔Dissolution in water.
  • ✔No initial investment in tooling.
