FlexPLAS® release film – release agent free manufacture of FRP components in complex hot press molds
At the JEC 2018 fair in Paris (6-8 March) the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Technology and Advanced Materials IFAM will present for the first time the use of flexible FlexPLAS® release film in complex hot press molds. You are invited to visit us on the communal stand of CFK Valley in Hall 5 A, Stand E 58.
The plasma-coated FlexPLAS® release film developed by Fraunhofer IFAM (Bremen and Stade) has already been successfully used for a number of years for the manufacture of contaminant-free fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) components. In collaboration with Infiana Germany GmbH & Co. KG this technology is now being adapted and further developed for special customer requirements. It is used to replace conventional release agents and allows components to be... ... More: Official Press Release Fraunhofer IFAM
