The increased use of lightweight materials prompted Dow Automotive Systems to develop epoxy resinNew series of intermediates. The Vorafuse resin family combines carbon or glass fibers to accelerate cycle times and processing for laminate molding of automotive composite parts.
Epoxy-fiber composites are less dense, providing a competitive advantage and hardness, can achieve the same functions as traditional metal parts. Potential applications for Vorafuse are structural applications requiring strength, stiffness and lightweight construction.
To commercialize the roof cover bracket in 2016, Vorafuse is working on The laminate molding process has been improved to achieve fast cycle times. It can be processed in 2-5 minutes during high-volume production and can be used in automated production solutions. Various construction configurations are compatible with Vorafuse, including unidirectional tape, wrinkle-free composites, and more.
Vorafuse has two specifications: Vorafuse P6300 and Vorafuse P6100. The Vorafuse P6300 resin system is used in high-volume production, eliminating the need for robots to handle 2D and 3D laminate molding. Vorafuse P6100 is designed to be used in multiple production process solutions such as high voltage and at lower cost in low to medium production applications.
”OEM emissions and fuel efficiency requirements are expected to continue to increase, lightweight Materials shouldThe same will happen with Dow.” Allan James, NAFTA Composites Market Manager, Automotive Systems Business Unit, said. “Vorafuse epoxy resin intermediate supports mass production of high-strength automotive parts. Like other Dow automotive materials, it can be tailored to meet different production and performance needs in diverse applications.”
