How is an item manufactured out of glass fibre reinforced polyconcrete?
In this case a 3-5mm coating of resin based polyconcrete is applied to the inside of a prepared mould. Once this coating has dried, a series of glass fibre reinforcing layers are applied to provide the internal structure of the item and is left to dry. The item is then removed from the mould, post cured in an oven and left to cool. The final epoxy sealant top coat is then applied.
How is an item manufactured out of resin based polyconcrete?
After an aeration process that removes as much air as possible from the mix to reduce bubbles and pinholes in the final product, the required mix is poured into a prepared fibre glass mould. After the initial curing time within the mould, the product is removed from the mould and allowed to cool. Once the final form has been achieved, each item is sanded down and then placed in an oven for post-curing. The final epoxy sealant top coat is then applied.
