Infusible core materials offer supply chain flexibility for closed mold composite processing

Imsent Composites Inc. (Sheridan, Wyo., U.S.), a North American composite materials distributor and part of the Imsent Global family, offers a line of infusible core materials for vacuum infusion, resin infusion and closed-mold composites manufacturing. The product family is positioned as an alternative to commonly used flow and core mat systems, with options intended to address availability, cost and sourcing constraints that can affect existing infusion programs.

The lineup includes materials are described as TF-, LRC- and SF-style equivalents, giving fabricators options across different resin flow requirements, laminate build thicknesses and part geometries. The materials are designed to support efficient resin flow, controlled resin uptake and consistent laminate thickness in sandwich structures, infused panels, molded parts and other infusion applications. Target markets include marine, transportation, industrial, infrastructure and general composites manufacturing.

Imsent Composites works with composite fabricators, distributors and OEMs to support material trials, quoting and ongoing supply for production programs. The company’s technical team can assist customers in evaluating material thickness, resin uptake, infusion performance, roll width, packaging and production-volume requirements. The materials are also relevant for manufacturers looking to qualify a secondary source or reduce costs on existing infusion core systems without redesigning their process.
