Magnum Venus Plastech Demonstrated Their
Light RTM Technology Inside the ACMA Composites 2007 Exhibition
Magnum
Venus Plastech was pleased to be the first company ever allowed
to conduct live demonstrations of their products and technology
inside the hall at the ACMA Composites 2007 Exhibition in
October.
Historically, organizers of the exhibition and city fire
authorities had denied permission to conduct such demonstrations
in the booths for safety and health reasons. However, M.V.P.
was able to demonstrate to each that the Light RTM Technology
being demonstrated had reached a level of safety and technical
security that there was no danger in allowing the demonstrations
to proceed.
M.V.P.
conducted several demonstrations that included the full 15
minute, from the start of injection to the de-moulding of the
part, closed mould injections of a carbon fiber racing car seat,
producing a perfect fill each time with foam and metal inserts
included in the part. The new Patriot SSB system with a safe
water based Flush System was used for these injections. The new
“MotoCat” feature on this system allowed for a change in
catalyst percentage producing a rapid cure on the part after
just a 70 second mould fill.
Presenters
demonstrated how the entire moulding cycle is now an automatic
sequence that starts with the press of a button. Jim Hedger,
Jr., President of M.V.P. said, “We see the growth of clean,
closed mould technology as very important to our clients, so we
have invested heavily in establishing top name expertise and
intensive training programs in mould building and technology
transfer.” He continued, “The show’s safe, clean and very
professional demonstrations provided very serious encouragement
toward change so very much needed under today’s emission control
legislation.”
