Automotive amp Marine Composite Repairs

Automotive & Marine

Composite materials have become an increasingly popular choice for automobile, aerospace and marine component manufacturing due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratios and corrosion resistance. Unfortunately, like any material, composites are subject to damage that must be regularly addressed through maintenance programs and repairs.





Vacuum infusion is one of the best techniques available for repairing materials. This technique allows precise resin infusion and excellent consolidation by sealing reinforcement materials in a mold and applying vacuum pressure, making it suitable for repairs on both small areas as well as larger structures.

Fusion is another effective technique that utilizes heat to melt resin back together and fill any gaps, producing a strong, durable repair that maintains structural integrity of original component. Fibre Glass Fabrication and Repair This approach is particularly successful at repairing carbon fiber.

epoxy infusion company Finalizing the composite repair by painting or coating it to prevent corrosion is the last step in this process. Epoxy coatings are widely used and can be applied using spraying for small repairs or an autoclave curing system with localized heat and accurate curing time, offering greater precision than traditional methods.

Skilled personnel is one of the greatest challenges facing the Composite Repair Market. Due to differing training standards in various countries, there can be an insufficient pool of technicians qualified for inspection and repair services, which in turn has an adverse effect on quality inspection and repair services provided to clients.
