Authors Abstract
Content
A unique method for manufacturing glass-fiber reinforced polyester automotive components has been developed by USM Corporation. This method referred to as the Total System Concept, is unique in that it makes total integration of injection molding and continuous material mixing possible.
The future growth of glass-fiber reinforced plastics will be influenced by equipment and material developments which improve the performance and economics of end use applications. The ‘Total System’ offers a means of reaching this growth potential.
The ‘Total System’ has been fully developed and tested, and is a functional approach to manufacturing injection molded, glass fiber reinforced polyester components at highly economic levels.
