Hand lamination
Hand lamination is the oldest and relatively simplest method of producing fibreglass parts.
Individual layers of woven or non-woven fibreglass fabric are inserted into an open production mould which is sprayed or coated with gelcoat and the layers are hand-screened with polyester (or epoxy) resin using a roller or brush, worked out, screened with resin and vented.
The gelcoat forming the first layer is in the desired colour, which then forms the final surface or the parts are additionally painted.
Hand lamination is relatively inexpensive, allows the production of large and shape-intensive parts and is suitable for small batch, piece and prototype production.
Why fibreglass laminat?
IT IS LIGHTWEIGHT – approximately 4 times lighter than steel with high strength and durability. This brings advantages in application, manufacturing, transport, assembly ….
IT IS FORMABLE – using a negative or positive mould, virtually any part can be manufactured to suit functional and design requirements
IS ROBUST – it has high tensile strength, is electrically and thermally insulating. It can withstand aggressive environments such as heat, cold, sunlight, aggressive environments in indoor and outdoor use.
