Higher Temperature Bismaleimide Composites Manufacturing Technology
Vector proprietary technology based on Stratton Composite Solutions BMI resins (Raptor) and use of VARTM manufacturing processes
Description
-New BMI OOA material gives new manufacturing opportunities.
-Requires only vac bag pressure; has long pot life for large infusions
-Team can modify formulation for specific unique part (Nano, tougheners, microspheres for surface hardness).
Benefits & Payoffs
-New BMI OOA material is $60 lb — about ½ the cost of other BMI materials.
-Teaming with Aldila, the world’s largest prepregger, has enabled us access to low cost prepreg (Tape and Fabric).
-Advances have allowed BMI advantages to be used on wider range of structures.
