Customized solutions
Plasti-Fab composite services
Plasti-Fab manufactures custom structural composite products
using some of the largest fabrication set ups available. Composites
are ideal for parts that require internal structures, two-sided
finishes, and complex angles. Our composite manufacturing
techniques offer terrific strength to weight ratios for finished parts
that are lightweight, corrosion resistant, durable, and more.

Vacuum Infusion Process
Vacuum Infusion Process uses vacuum pressure to drive resin into Create Vacuum
a laminate. Materials are laid dry into the mold and the vacuum
mold reinforcement
applied before resin is introduced. Once a complete vacuum is
acheived, resin is literally sucked into the laminate by via carefully
placed tubing.

Closed Cavity Bag Molding
Closed Cavity Bag Molding is a composite process that uses a Introduce Resin
reinforced bag that is placed in the mold over the pre cut and
placed reinforcement. The resulting cavity is evacuated and resin is
introduced to infuse through the mat.

Light RTM Resin Fuses With

Reinforcement
Similar to Closed Cavity Bag Molding but employing a hard
liner, usually polyester or vinyl-ester resin. Light RTM composite
manufacturing provides the ability to produce 2 high gloss faces,
gel-coated interior surfaces, and very precise thickness of laminate.
