APPLICATIONS GLOSSARIES Bonding Joining securely through the use of adhesives. Cartridge Filling Dispensing a given volume of material into a customer-selected package. Coating Covering with a layer, such as a paint or protective material. Doming Preserving and enhancing the appearance of nameplates, labels or decals by applying a clear "dome" over a preprinted graphic. Filament Winding Coil winding or coating. Gasketing Sealing or packing between matched parts to prevent the exchange of gas or fluid and protect against environmental conditions. Laminating Uniting several layers of material with a flexible. LIM (Liquid Injection Molding) Involves the injection of liquid polyurethane systems into a mold. The components then polymerize within the mold. LSR (Liquid Silicone Rubber) Is a two-part catalyzed product particularly well suited for high-production products with tight dimensional tolerances. Molding Injecting or pouring a reactive plastic fluid into a hollow form or matrix. Potting To embed in a container within an insulating or protective material. Potting is often accomplished within an evacuated environment, called vacuum encapsulation. Pultrusion Pulling glass fibers through a resin bath to make continuous profiles, pipes and other shapes. Rapid Prototyping Casting void-free parts for fast-curing polyurethanes for quick mold turnarounds. RIM (Reaction Injection Molding) Involves the injection of liquid polyurethane systems into a mold. The components then polymerize within the mold. RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) Is a closed mold process for molding fiberglass products. It does not require metal molds or high pressure mold closing systems. It is ideal for part volumes from 500 to 10,000 parts per year. Robotics Refers to equipment that works automatically or by remote control. Scripting Using three-dimensional automation to produce decorative fonts by dispensing a precise amount of material to give the lettering a raised effect. Sealing Closing or securing a part or assembly with a fluid-tight, air-tight adhesive. VARTM (Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding) Is a low-cost alternative to resin transfer molding (RTM). It features lower tooling costs, room temperature processing and ease of scalability.   Applications |  Products |  About Us |  Contact Us |  Request Information
