Introducing our new premium quality carbon fiber reinforced products. I will explain a little bit how the process works with pictures to give you guys a much better idea of how and why this process produces extremely lighter, incredibly flexible, and tremendously more durable than hand laid parts. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Vacuum resin infusion is a sophisticated technique for manufacturing high performance, void free composites even on large or complicated moulds. The process is ideally suited to the manufacture of carbon fiber composites and is widely used by professional manufacturers in the aerospace and formula 1 industry for the production of carbon fiber body panels and by marine manufacturers for the production of boat hulls. In resin infusion, reinforcement is laid into the mould ‘dry’, i.e. without any resin, and then enclosed in a specially configured stack of bagging materials (such as peel ply, infusion mesh, bagging film, etc) before being subjected to vacuum pressure using a composites vacuum pump. Once all the air has been removed from the bag and the reinforcement has been fully compressed under this pressure, liquid epoxy resin (mixed with hardener) is introduced to the reinforcement through a pipe which then infuses through the reinforcement under the vacuum pressure. Once the resin has fully infused through the reinforcement, the supply of resin is cut off (using a pipe clamp) and the resin is left to cure, still under vacuum pressure.
Advantages of resin infusion when done correctly, can produce parts of incredible strength and quality of appearance. The combination of vacuum pressure along with carefully placed vacuum consumables (such as peel-ply and infusion mesh, etc) mean that the finished composite will have absorbed resin at the optimum resin-to-reinforcement ratio, avoiding resin-rich composites or variations in performance inevitable with traditional wet-lay manufacture. The resin infusion process also eliminates some of the problems that can blight wet-lay composites, such as air voids (caused where the reinforcement has bridged around tight corners) and tiny air bubbles caused by air trapped within the laminate. The quality of epoxy ‘infusion resins’ means that resin infused parts can be made with strength to weight ratios that can rival parts made using pre-impregnated (pre-preg) reinforcement systems.
All our vacuum infused products are made with 12K-670gsm 2×2 twill. What does 12K mean.? It means that each tow or yarn is composed of 12,000 individual carbon filaments which boasts the highest ultimate tensile strength in the industry.!! vs. the widely used 3K-2×2 twill which is composed of 3,000 carbon filaments.
Manufactured by CF Kits & Performance in Los Angeles, CA. Made with high grade fibers and materials. Items are double laid 100% carbon fiber, UV protected so it will not yellow over time. The spoiler has absolutely NO fitment issues and is tested for speeds up to 175mph with out bracing.
The spoiler mounts with the original factory screws. Installation instructions, all you need is a drill/bit and a rivet gun.
NOTE: These items are vacuum bagged and are made after order is placed. please allow 1-2 week lead time to complete the order.!!
