A world leading producer of high-precision measurement equipment for the automotive industry, produces equipment covers made of glass fiber composite. The primary requirements of these composite covers are adequate stiffness and an excellent surface finish as befits a quality piece of equipment.
Why Coremat?
The use of Coremat Xi3 achieves both these requirements. Coremat, acting as a thin core, builds up thickness quickly. This saves labour, glass and resin. Coremat also acts as a print blocker, greatly improving the cosmetics of the finished part. The use of Coremat also reduces the weight of the panel as compared to the all glass version, making the panels much easier to install.
Why Coremat Xi 3 mm?
The 3 mm Coremat Xi proved to be the optimum thickness to achieve the required stiffness needed for the covers. Coremat Xi also adapts easily to the complex shape of the parts. Coremat Xi3 achieved both the required stiffness and the improved appearance of these laminated parts.
