DEF

A moulding process in which catalysed resin is injected into a closed mould already containing the pre-formed reinforcement.

CONT

Resin transfer molding (RTM) ... uses a closed mold, in two or more parts, usually made of glass-reinforced polymers or light metal alloys, with injection points and vents to allow air to escape. Reinforcement is cut to shape and placed in the mold, together with any inserts or fittings. The mold is closed and a low viscosity thermosetting resin (usually polyester) is injected under low pressure through a mixing head in which hardener is blended with the resin.

CONT

Resin transfer molding is increasingly used for large fiber-reinforced polymer components. Shapes can be complex. Ribs, bosses, and inserts are possible. Foam panels can be insert molded to reduce component weight.

OBS

If a vacuum is used in resin transfer molding, the term used is "vacuum assisted resin transfer molding" (VARTM).

OBS

RIM: The acronym RIM is often confused with Reaction Injection Molding ...

DEF

Procédé de moulage consistant à injecter sous faible pression une résine thermodurcissable dans un moule où un renfort fibreux a été préalablement disposé.

CONT

Des développements importants ont eu lieu dans la technologie dite de moulage par transfert de résine («resin transfer molding», RTM) au cours des dernières années [...] Dans cette technique le renfort fibreux est positionné dans le moule et la résine injectée à basse pression (pompée) dans le moule refermé.

OBS

Avec la technologie VARTM [moulage par transfert de résine sous vide] on applique un vide pour débarrasser le moule de l'air qu'il contient et entraîner la résine, alors qu'avec la technologie RTM, on injecte la résine dans le moule sous pression.

OBS

moulage par transfer de résine; MTR : terme, abréviation et définition publiés au Journal officiel de la République française le 16 octobre 2011.
