Closed-Cavity-Bag Molding (CCBM)
NEW technology that offers more value! (Patent Pending)
- Astoria offers consistent parts with control over part thickness, resin use and glass use.
- Our higher glass percentage and reduced resin content reduces weight significantly while increasing strength.
- Unlike RTM, shrinkage is not an issue; fillers and specialty resins do not have to be used. RTM fillers also cause parts to be heavier and more brittle.
- Our improved gel coat finish means there is no print through.
- CCBM method eliminates emissions of hazardous air pollutants; this improves our environment and makes our facility safer and healthier for our employees.
- This process drastically reduces usage of hazardous chemicals, such as acetone, compared to open-molding processes.
