Weight reduction - Import export

The blind rivet nut Light Weight saves up to 50% weight by optimizing the material and design! Customer benefits: • Reduced space requirement on the closing head side • Fast processing • Process monitoring and process control are possible • Independent of surface properties • Accessibility from one side • Mechanical strength properties identical to conventional blind rivet nut • No third party materials (e.g. adhesive) required

Fields of application: • Perfectly suited for highly stressed applications in shell construction • Structural components (e.g. safety components, etc.) Strength: • "10.9" or "12.9" for blind rivet nut steel • "10.9" for blind rivet stud steel • "8.8" for blind rivet nut aluminum Customer benefits: • Fast assembly with one-sided accessibility • Solution for highly stressed applications • Process monitoring possible • Mechanical properties significantly higher than standard steel blind rivet nuts • Optimization of joints in various applications (e.g. weight reduction) • Combination with customer-specific requirements and other GESIPA® innovations

GFK Systems PUR Systems Fire Extinguishing Agents Cleaning + Disinfection Infothek About us Contact Products Polyester Foam Resins Polyester Resins Applications Service Quality Newsletter Contact, Glass Fibre Reinforced Plastics Polyester Foam Resins Compared to conventional matrix systems for fibre-reinforced products, UP foam resins offer material and weight reductions of up to 30 % thanks to their micro-cellular foam structure. In simple sealed moulds, glass fibre reinforced plastic components that are smooth on both sides are produced cost-effectively under a vacuum in comparatively short cycle times. The production of sandwich components resistant to bending, with a foam core, and the direct integration of metal reinforcements and threaded elements – for example for large vehicle components – has also proven itself. Typical properties Dense matrix / composite of approximately 0.6–0.7 g/cm³ / 0.7–1.2 g/cm³ Fibre content 20-50% of total weight Moulded part mass per unit area of 3000–5000 g/m² Flexural modulus of elasticity 3000–8000 MPa Bending resistance of 35–185 MPa Impact resistance of 35–65 KJ/m² (with 20–35% glass content) Reinforcing materials: Continuous glass fibre mats Composite glass fibre and fleece mats Natural fibre mats Special formulations and versions Systems with long processing times for very large components Foam resin formulations with elevated dimensional stability under heat Systems for fibre-reinforced components with a high level of characteristics Coordination with gel coat / top coat for surface refinement Flame protection formulations Electrical industry: UL 94 V0 Rail vehicle construction: DIN 5510 (S4, SR1, ST2)
