RTM (Resin Transfer Molding

The RTM method, also known as Resin Transfer Molding, is an innovative technique for producing laminates in closed moulds using the injection method. This process consists of several stages that begin with the preparation of a mould in which the appropriate reinforcement and/or spacer material is placed. The mould is then tightly closed and the resin system is injected under pressure. Vacuum pressure is also often used, which helps to close the mould and ensures better saturation of the reinforcement. The use of this method allows you to shorten the time of forming products, reduce the work intensity of the process and increase the repeatability of production.

What are the advantages of the RTM method?

The RTM method has many advantages that translate into its popularity in the industry. First of all, it is a cost-effective method for serial and mass production, which makes it attractive to many enterprises. Moreover, it guarantees high quality and repeatability of production, which is key to maintaining quality standards. The RTM method is also characterized by low emissions of volatile substances, which translates into a lower impact on the environment. The high ratio of reinforcement in the laminate directly affects the durability of the product, and the smooth and aesthetic surface on both sides makes the products attractive. The last, but not least, advantage is the very low unit cost of producing the element, which makes this method even more profitable.
