Microwave curing

The use of microwave technology for curing parts brings major advantages in composite processing.

It minimizes the need for post-curing. It increases the quality of parts thanks to a stricter, more reliable curing process that is not dependent on environmental conditions, such as humidity and outside temperature.

Microwave technology brings homogeneous curing of thicker areas through the volumetric heating of parts and improves cross-linking (100%) in a shorter period of time. In addition, greater control over the reaction is achieved with MW radiation, enabling the injection, infusion, impregnation and curing phases to be adapted during the process.

It reduces styrene emissions by 50%

Microwave technology can also reduce styrene emissions and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by up to 50%.
