RESIN INFUSION
INNOVATIVE CONSTRUCTION
We use resin infusion to build our custom sport fishing yachts. Resin infusion is a process where the voids in a porous material are filled with a liquid resin. When the resin solidifies, the solid resin matrix binds the assembly of materials into a unified rigid composite. Typical materials are closed cell foams (corecell), fiber glass, balsa wood, and honeycomb.
A key part of the process is the evacuation, or removal, of the air from the porous material prior to admitting the resin. The air needs to be removed from the porous material to allow the resin to take its place. In its simplest form the process can be broken down into the following stages: Air Removal, Injecting of Resin, Maintaining Vacuum During Cure.
