In-situ polymerisation T-RTM for lightweight components

Elkamet Manufacturing In-situ polymerisation (T-RTM)

We use the thermoplastic polyamide 6 as the matrix material. Let us work together to develop a product using in-situ polymerisation and transfer it to series production, based on our many years of expertise in PA6 processing.

Produce fibre preform and insert into mould
Dosing of caprolactam + additives
Polymerisation in the mould
Demoulding

Sustainability: Recycling and reuse possible (thermoplastic)
67% glass fibre content provides excellent mechanical properties
- Other fibre types possible
Geometry: low viscosity of the monomer melt
- long flow paths with low wall thickness
- voluminous semi-finished products
Functionalities:
- Addition of functions possible through moulded geometries (tabs, etc.)
Surface can be painted
