Resin transfer medium

Enka-Fusion flow media are flexible mattings, produced from polyamide, polyester or polypropylene monofilaments. These are thermally bonded together where they cross to form a flexible, yet compression resistant matrix with over 95 % of void space.

The Enka-Fusion product portfolio includes two categories of flow media: in addition to two-dimensional variants with randomly laid monofilaments, three-dimensional mattings with a v-shape filament configuration are also available. EnkaFusion can be easily cut to suit different infusion mold sizes.

Thanks to the comprehensive width and depth of the EnkaFusion assortment, the right product variant can always be offered to meet specific requirements. For example with regards to tensile strength, flow rate or compressibility.

In most processes, EnkaFusion is installed between the vacuum bag and the peel ply. It helps resin to travel freely and permits a complete wet-out. EnkaFusion is the fastest resin transfer medium available in the market today and a versatile solution to increase mold efficiency. Thanks to its unique structure, EnkaFusion allows continuous flow in x, y as well as z directions. This way, the product not only facilitates fast resin flow. It also ensures its uniform distribution into all edges of the laminate. And that without leaving any imprints on the surface of the finished product. One single person can handle adding EnkaFusion to the lay-up. EnkaFusion cuts easily with a pair of scissors. And it is flexible enough to conform to any surface and geometry. Therefore, installing custom pieces is simple and quick. The matting is compatible with many resins, from polyester to epoxy.

EnkaFusion resin transfer media are often applied in combination with an EnkaChannel resin feeder.
