AIMPLAS has the knowledge and technology your company needs to develop high added value materials, products and processes.

Our solutions

Resin transfer processes: mould design and sensor implementation in moulds to optimise the RTM process.
Pultrusion: selection of materials, product design, validation in a pilot plant, application of UV-cured coatings and application of gel-coat on the production lines.
Compression processes: obtaining prototypes, selection of raw materials to meet final product specifications and the development of biocomposites.
Solid surface: improvement of properties by developing formulations and incorporating nanoparticles.
Non-conventional curing of thermosetting resins: microwave and UV radiation. Adaptation of this technology to different processing types: RTM, infusion, pultrusion, etc.
Polyurethane foaming.
Flame retardancy of polymer matrices.
Biocomposites: adaptation of production processes and optimisation of properties.
Recovery of end-of-life tyres and other thermosetting polymers by developing new manufacturing processes.
Chemical characterisation of thermosetting matrices.
Physico-mechanical characterisation of thermoset composites.
Recyclability studies and reuse of waste thermosetting materials.
New technologies and improved processes for occupational safety.
