In the production of fibre-reinforced plastic components on
the basis of VAP® technology, liquid resin is poured into moulds
and the whole structure is covered with a membrane laminate
such as those made by Trans-Textil. Air molecules trapped in
the resin can cause fractures and thus have to be extracted
under vacuum. In this, the membrane laminates by Trans-Textil
fulfil two purposes: they hold the resin in shape and offer
micropores through which gasous molecules are able to escape.
Enhanced quality and process reliability
VAP® ensures:
- enhanced part quality
- greater production flexibility
- shorter throughout times
- consistent results

The membrane laminates made by Trans-Textil have been used in the production of
wind turbine rotor blades for a number of years. We conduct research
and development in this high-tech field, thus investing in cutting-edge technologies as well as alternative power generation methods.

In its VAP® lab, Trans-Textil develops and tests combinations
of membrane laminates, resins and processing approaches under realistic conditions.
