Resin infused boat at Seatec 2007
Airtech Europe, Luxembourg in close cooperation with Assocompositi, Nautivela shipyard, completed a hull and deck construction of a FIV 555 school boat by the resin infusion process live during SEATEC from 1st to 3rd February 2007.
Assocompositi initiated an international cooperation with the material suppliers needed for a resin infusion demonstration. More than 300 visitors attended and appreciated the high quality of the demonstration which was the major event of the “Strategies for transition to new materials and technologies in nautical production”.
The hull and deck normally moulded by wet lay-up as a single skin construction were re-engineered into a thin skin cored construction, moulded in a single shot resin infusion process. This re-engineering yielded:
• improved fibre volume fraction and so better mechanical performance.
• Improved environmental care, reducing styrene emissions.
• Reduced weight and reduced resin usage.
Airtech resin infusion materials carefully selected for the moulding process from their extensive range of materials were:
• Econolease Peel Ply – easily removed to leave a surface ready for bulkhead bonding.
• Greenflow 75 - Resin distribution mesh providing good resin flow for complete laminate saturation.
• Omegaflow 625V - Resin flow lines provide speedy resin delivery and simplified vacuum bagging.
• Resin Trak – 3D tape mesh for secondary resin flow lines, provides simplified bagging operations for more complex strategies such as the “Fishbone” style.
• VacTrak - self adhesive 3D tape mesh for fast and simple vacuum manifold constructions. • Securlon L500 – very wide and very strong multi-layer vacuum bagging film.
The presentation of the resin infusion process enabled professionals to collect their first practical experience and to realise how efficient and cost effective this technique is.
