Chomarat (Anderson, S.C., U.S.) has expanded its range of composite reinforcements with the inclusion of Rovicore FM and C-Weave Stabilized. These products are designed to improve the quality and performance of composite materials.
Rovicore FM is a core material designed for closed mold processes. It improves the quality and surface finish of closed molded parts while maintaining the process-friendly conformability and flow characteristics Rovicore is known for.
“It offers all of the proven performance of standard Rovicore with enhanced cosmetic benefits delivered by an integral polyester finish mat,” says Travis Irvin, Chomarat sales manager for glass composites.
C-Weave Stabilized.
C-Weave Stabilized is a range of Chomarat’s woven carbon fiber fabric laminated to lightweight copolymer nonwoven veils. “C-Weave Stabilized fabrics help maintain the aesthetics of woven carbon [fiber] in parts with complex shapes. The veil acts to improve resin flow during processing and improves toughness of finished laminates,” says Chris Mikesell, Chomorat sales manager for advanced composites.
