How does the CPIs Advantage Process differ from other long fiber materials manufacturing processes?
Unlike injection or sheet molding processes that use precompounded thermoplastic composites that are shipped to the molder for conversion to finished goods, CPI’s Advantage Process is in-line with the molding process. The process delivers a preform of bulk molding compound, at molding temperature, to be formed into a molded article by compression or compression transfer molding. Virgin thermoplastic resins, recyclates, colorants, additives and reinforcing fibers are compounded in synchronization with the demand established by the molded part cycle. The manufacturing steps associated with material compounding, cooling, warehousing, transportation and reheating to form a molded article are totally eliminated in the CPI process.
