Gear pump manufacturer Slack & Parr (Derby, U.K.) is presenting its high-precision technologies for ceramic composites and low-viscosity resins at JEC World 2026.
Exhibiting on the Composites UK stand, the company spotlights its range of specialist pumps for the manufacture of high-performance ceramic matrix composites (CMC) including silicon carbide-based CMC, highlighting the use of special materials and surface treatments for extreme wear-resistance and durability.
Slack & Parr also presents its metering solutions for very low-viscosity resins and polymers. These materials have been the focus of increasing innovation and development in recent years as a way to achieve greater efficiency in wet-out applications and optimal fiber-to-resin ratios, resulting in strong, lightweight composite materials.
Attendees can also learn how the company’s metering technologies respond to challenges associated with moving low-viscosity fluids — some of which are almost as thin and free flowing as water — and see how high levels of precision engineering reduce the risk of fluid slip and deliver optimum accuracy, repeatability, control and efficiency in processing even the lowest viscosity resins and polymers under high pressure.
Slack & Parr has been delivering high-precision gear metering pumps into the global materials market for more than 80 years. The company supplies gear metering pumps for the production of PAN precursor, and its technologies are used in many composites manufacturing processes including coating, prepreg, filament winding and spraying, as well as in extruder-based processes most commonly used in the manufacture of thermoplastic composites (TPC).
