G&G's composite Spray Molding (CSM) technology utilizes proprietary chemistry & proprietary delivery systems developed at G&G to enhance the composite molding process.
Characteristics of CSM parts:
• Incredibly stiff
• Low weight
• Have best-in-class dimensional stability • Improved surface aesthetics allowing for broader product applications
• Improved mold filling that improves design flexibility with transitional surfaces
• Reduced polyurethane usage
Why Composite Spray Molding?
CSM has proven to be highly effective over the years. Its key benefits include high strength-to-stiffness weight ratio, complete design flexibility, and a competitive cost.By adjusting CSM glass content and core thicknesses, a wide range of parts can be produced; CSM is extremely versatile. While a sunshade represents a thin, lightweight, full trimmed part application, CSM is also used in thicker, load-bearing Load floor panels.
CSM can be molded into complex shapes, with varying thicknesses for unique part applications. The parts can be covered with a wide range of textile materials, and offer tremendous weight savings over traditional materials.
The Process
The CSM process utilizes proprietary chemistry & delivery systems that are unique to G&G Industries.
CSM is manufactured using an automated spray application over a composite core of paper honeycomb and fiberglass.
• Load floors have optimized glass and polyurethane content to meet physical requirements and cost objectives.
• Load Floors are thermoset and demonstrate exceptional dimensional stability, resistance to heat sag while maintaining a very high flexural modulus.
CSM parts:
• Are customized for your application • Adjusted for thickness & glass content • Have customized honeycomb/spacer technologies • Have optimized mass and flexural strength • Are lightweight with very high flexural modulus • Have excellent heat sag properties • Have thermoset-excellent dimensional stability
G&G’s production system is capable of high volume production runs, with less than average maintenance as compared to other delivery systems, making it ideal for high-volume production.
With a high strength-to-weight ratio, complete design flexibility, and a competitive cost, CSM is the ideal solution for almost any interior trim component.
