In this process, resins are impregnated by hand into fibers, such as woven, knitted, stitched or bonded fabrics, usually accomplished by rollers or brushes. Nip-roller type impregnators force resin into the fabrics, while in a bath of resin, with rotating rollers. Laminates cure under standard atmospheric conditions. Typical applications include standard wind-turbine blades, production boats and architectural moldings. Hand Lay-Up Process Advantages Use of higher fiber contents and longer fibers than with spray lay-up. Wide choice of suppliers and materials. Low cost tooling with room temperature cure resins. Simple principles to teach. Widely used for many years Contact our engineering staff with your most demanding applications. They love a challenge.
