MoldingArisawa's expertise in Molding technologies enable
new possibilities in fiber reinforced plastics!
Reinforced molded plastics, which are made from fibers bonded with plastic resins, have many desirable qualities, such as strength, light weight, and resistance to corrosion and weathering. Arisawa products can be found in almost every high technology industries aerospace, medical, and electronics, and construction to everyday consumer uses such as desalination/purification of water and office equipment. Arisawa has the expertise to choose the right combination of resins and fibers orientation, as well as the process for your specific application. Let us work with you bring your product to life!
There are several steps in the molding process. In filament winding, fibers wet with resin are precision wound on specially shaped mandrels and cured. In pultrusion, groups of fibers are wet with resin are shaped and cured by pulling through a heated die. In press molding, dry "prepeg" sheets are assembled and pressed into shaped, then cured in a heated press. The dry "prepreg" is made by treating a fabric with a liquid resin, the wet sheets are placed in an oven to dry and partially cure the resin.
