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. sq. ft.) 0.54" 1.2 0.75" 1.4 2.24" 3.1 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.

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.
