ADE-FIX – self-adhesive thermofixed dry fabrics for RTM applications
ADE-FIX is a recent introduction from G.Angeloni and available in the UK from Cristex Composite Materials. ADE-FIX is mainly dedicated to the RTM process and has been developed for projects where a high quality surface finish and a perfect fabric design is essential.
ADE-FIX combines stabilising webs (WF1, WF2 and WF3) applied to one surface with a high tack Epoxy coating applied to the opposite surface. The Epoxy self-adhesive coating is fully compatible with and promotes a perfect bond to any Epoxy Resin System.
- ADE-FIX is a special surface high-tack epoxy coating (IMP 373 R) that is able to offer a perfect adhesive of thermofixed dry fabrics to any mould.
- IMP 373 self-adhesive coating is compatible with most epoxy systems.
- ADE-FIX is simple to use over most mould surfaces.
- Due to the excellent self adhesion of ADE-FIX, it vastly reduces problems caused when injecting resin at high pressure.
