When Time and Money Matter in the Production of High Quality Composites Tooling: The DForm® Prepreg Solution

April 16, 2019 |

Presented By:

Only from Composites One, Solvay's DForm® technology is a labor and cost-saving tooling prepreg that combines the conformability of a short fiber molding compound with the directional characteristics of a high performance, long fiber composite. DForm® has undergone extensive market testing and is particularly suited to the manufacture of composite tooling. This webinar presented by Composites One and Solvay will discuss the advantages over standard long fiber woven fabric prepreg and random short fiber and infusion tooling systems. 

Primary Topics: 
- Lay-up time savings 
- Allows for maintained dimensional accuracy and performance predictability 
- Guarantees flat, print-through-free surface profile with no local thinning, no loss of fiber orientation or variation in resin content.
