Point-of-Use Resin Heating
Industry Snapshot: Advanced
Composites Applications
Demand for advanced composites is growing on a global scale.
The industry wants faster cycle rates, higher capacity, and is
turning to faster curing resins to speed turnaround times.
Benefits of point-of-use resin heating
1. Heat only the resin you need – when you need it
Therm-O-Flow provides precise thermal control
with individual heat zones.
2. Reduce resin waste
Therm-O-Flow eliminates the need for conventional ovens
or drum heaters, which can cause material degradation
from heat aging.
3. Improve logistics
Therm-O-Flow delivers material directly to metering
and dispensing systems– creating a “just in time”
ready supply of thermally conditioned resins.
4. Faster cycle times
Manufacturers can use innovative, faster-curing resins
for decreased curing times – a key requirement for fast
cycle rate mass production.
