RTM

Next-Gen Composite Manufacturing

HP-RTM (High Pressure Resin Transfer Molding) is an advanced molding process technology introduced for the mass production of high-performance thermoset composite parts. It involves injecting resin mixed with a catalyst under high pressure into a closed mold pre-laid with reinforcing fibers (such as Carbon Fiber or Glass Fiber).

Unlike traditional RTM, HP-RTM utilizes high-pressure mixing injection (1.0-15.0 MPa) and vacuum-assisted exhaust. This combination significantly reduces porosity, improves wetting, and shortens the curing cycle to just 3-5 minutes, making it a viable option for high-volume automotive production.

Why HP-RTM?

"If you need to manufacture large parts with a high strength-to-weight ratio and Class-A surface quality, HP-RTM is the process you need."

Process Advantages

"Low-cost, short-cycle, and high-quality production can be achieved through our HP-RTM solutions."

Fast Cavity Filling

High injection pressure (up to 15 MPa) and low-viscosity resin ensure rapid filling, shortening the cycle to minutes.

Short Curing Cycle

High-activity resin systems combined with high-temperature molding environments greatly accelerate the reaction rate.

Low Porosity

Vacuum-assisted exhaust technology effectively reduces pore content and improves fiber impregnation quality.

Excellent Surface

Using high-finish molds and in-mold coating technology enables parts to achieve Class-A surface quality directly.

Dimensional Accuracy

Double rigid mold surfaces and large-tonnage pressing ensure precise thickness control and minimal shape deviation.

Self-Cleaning System

Internal mold release agents and self-cleaning mixing heads improve equipment efficiency and reduce maintenance.

High Repeatability

Automated gap injection and post-injection compression processes reduce defects and ensure consistent part quality.

Cost Efficiency

Reduced resin waste and faster cycle times make HP-RTM a cost-effective solution for mass production.
