CRTM™ (Continuous Resin Transfer Molding)
Reinforced Composite Sandwich Panels
Lightweight, high-performance metal replacement solution
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Lightweight CRTM panels are custom engineered,
high quality composite sandwich panels designed
to deliver the structural benefits of metal panel
systems.
An engineered panel can reduce system
costs through elimination of welding, drilling,
bolting and riveting typically associated with
metallic panel fabrication.

CRTM PANEL PROPERTIES
Additional features include:
• Material and design flexibility
• Large-scale production with in-line
CNC machining
• Class-A FS&T resin systems
• Product design guidance
MARKETS AND END-USE APPLICATIONS
CRTM composite panels are ideal for use in
markets where metal skin-over-frame or hand-laid
composite sandwich panels are currently used.

THE SOLUTION
Gravi-Tech™ density-modified formulations are unique,
high-density materials developed as thermoplastic-based
alternatives to lead and other traditional metals.
They are
formulated using select metallic fillers and engineered
thermoplastic resins to achieve the specific gravity of different
metals, while providing the design flexibility and processing
ease of conventional thermoplastics.
The PolyChek valve
gives API a critical competitive advantage today and into
the future, as heavy metals such as lead become even more
restricted.

Compared to metal,
LFTs can reduce a vehicle’s weight by up to 40%,
leading to significant fuel savings and emission
reductions.
These composites also offer superior
corrosion resistance compared to traditional
metals, providing longer service life and reduced
maintenance costs, making them an excellent
option for automotive applications.

First, sheet metal
restricts design flexibility, and different automotive OEMs
request different attachment configurations for the part, so it
becomes extremely time-consuming to design and fabricate
multiple variations in metal.
Design flexibility = fast customization: Plastic offers
much greater design freedom than metal, enabling the
company to quickly develop and produce variations of
the seat securement part for different customers
Injection molding = system cost savings: Compared
to metal fabrication, which requires time-consuming
secondary operations, injection molded plastics can be
produced as a net-shape part in a single step, boosting
productivity and lowering system costs.
