Live LRTM Demos at Finland Show Great Success

Finland - Magnum Venus Plastech (M.V.P.) Expands Accessories for Light RTM Equipment

For the first time, a live demonstration of the Light RTM  process was conducted in a booth at the Lahti-Muovi-Plastics Exhibition held in  Finland in November. The company who conducted those demonstrations? MVP  distributor for Finland Pinteco KG Enterprise.

Working together with represented suppliers, Pinteco KG  Enterprise demonstrated the LRTM injection process twice a day each day using  the Patriot ™ SSB Injection System.

Designed for injecting polyester, vinylester and methacrylate  resins and catalyst at controlled pressures, the Patriot SSB mixes on demand at  the injection head. This system features adjustable, "on the fly" catalyst  ratios from 0.5% to 3% with the new MotoCat catalyst percentage remote drive,  as well as the latest, highly accurate meter/mix technology with Patriot  ™. With the Patriot SSB System, M.V.P. has now made the injection  process affordable, efficient, fully optimized, safe and automatic.

Customers were amazed to see the LRTM process happening in a  booth during the show, particularly by staff wearing white shirts and ties.  They were also surprised at the lack of any significant styrene emissions in  the injection process. Many, including several large manufacturers, have  invited Pinteco KG Enterprise to bring the MVP Light RTM Training Course to  their facility to train their personnel in the LRTM process.

Overall, according to Jukka Leinonen of Pinteco KG  Enterprise, "The demonstrations exceed our expectations. In the current pessimistic  economic environment, people saw these demos as a shiny spot in what could be  the middle of a shady future."
