Painting CFRP parts with PUR from the mould

摘要

At K2013, KraussMaffei made a 0.6 m2 production-line-ready carbon-fibre-reinforced (CFR) roof shell with a polyurethane matrix (PUR) for the Roding Roadster Rl. This demonstrated the production cell for the automated manufacture of CFR polymer or CFRP components. The produced parts can be painted straight away because the fibre structure is not visible on the surface. "This makes painting moulded parts considerably easier because there is no need for intermediate processes such as priming and pre-painting," said Nicolas Beyl, head of the reaction process machinery division.
