These products include Enka Solutions flow media and spacers for composites manufacturing and surfacing veils. Composite manufacturers will have the opportunity to discuss solutions for optimizing resin infusion and foam injection molding processes with the experts, focusing on Enka’s unique 3D polymeric filament structures used in Enka Solutions flow media and spacers. With this technology, manufacturers benefit from a marked improvement in both quality and efficiency, ensuring their products meet the highest standards.

In vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes, composites manufactured using Enka Solutions flow media have a superior bond and enhanced mechanical properties, which significantly decreases the risk of wrinkling and defects in the final products. Enka Solutions flow media ensure rapid and reliable resin distribution. This guarantees full wet-out of the internal structure whilst keeping glass fiber reinforcement nettings and component surfaces precisely in place. Freudenberg will also be presenting Enka Solutions spacers, which contribute to faster production cycles and reproducible high-quality finished products.

Nonwoven surfacing veils for FRP end products

Freudenberg’s surfacing veils are an essential part of FRP components and provide abrasion resistance, corrosion protection, smooth surfaces, and enhanced mechanical strength. At JEC, the company’s experts will highlight the wide variety of technical capabilities for combining glass, PAN, and PET, in the shape of fibers or filaments, using their nonwoven expertise in wetlaid, drylaid, and spunbond processes.

Freudenberg experts will welcome visitors to booth P82.5 of the Baden-Württemberg International joint stand in Hall 6 from March 4–6, 2025.
