CompoTech: Take advantage of materials to improve product quality (Part 1)

CompoTech is a synthetic fiber products manufacturer with 25 industry experience. With a modern machinery system and a team of highly qualified staff, CompaTech has constantly researched and found solutions to take advantage of the advantages of synthetic resins to improve product quality.

Synthetic resin materials are composed of 2 fiber-reinforced components (can be glass, carbon, bor, etc) and unsaturated plastic. The vast majority of all fiber parts are constructed of polyester resin and it is the most widely used plastic in the composites industry. Polyester resins require a catalyst to harden, typically methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (12MEKP). They are naturally resistant to ultraviolet rays, are generally considered easy to use, quickly curing, withstand temperature variations and catalysts, and they are less expensive than epoxy systems.

With its flexibility and durability, high resistance to wear, scratch, etc, composites are often used to produce lightweight structures that require great friction, such as aircraft components or Race car. Typically, composites can account for more than 50% of the composition of modern aircraft such as Boeing Dreamliner depending on weight.

However, another surprising application of this material has been discovered by experts CompoTech, which is a substitute for metal as a machine building. Machine builders may consider using synthetic resins to create lighter, more durable parts that are more resistant to wear. This will significantly reduce the total weight of the machine, contribute to reducing friction, increasing the life of the machine, increasing the speed and accuracy of the operation, etc. In general, this new application brings many businesses. opportunity to improve the productivity and quality of their products.

Manufacturers of tools, industrial machines and automation systems are under a lot of pressure from increasing productivity, quality and productivity. Besides the size, weight, manufacturers also need to consider the stability and accuracy of the machine’s operation. In particular, the deflection of the rigs against large-weight components also causes many difficulties in calculating the appropriate ratio, etc.

Composites researched by CompoTech are capable of solving the above problems. Synthetic components can be ideal in these applications because their combination is high strength and low weight. For example, a carbon fiber machine part weighs only a quarter of that of a steel material, giving the same hardness. These materials can also be designed to reduce vibrations by up to 20 times compared to steel or to zero thermal expansion in one direction.
