Multi-Step Manufacturing Process by Norplex Micarta

Multi-Step Manufacturing Process

Norplex-Micarta utilizes state-of-the-art equipment for each step in the manufacturing process, from materials preparation and treating to pressing and finishing. First, the substrate is processed through the resin compound. Then, the impregnated material is semi-cured in a treater oven. Once the material is treated, it is either issued to the customer as pre-preg, sent to the press for sheet grades, or sent to tube winding machines for tubing grades. Finally, the material is trimmed, stripped, sanded, and packaged as required.
