Composites manufacturers will be able to obtain the specialized skills, training and equipment for closed molding processes all from one source. Closed molding processes have proven reliability and improved cost efficiency, and it is Ashland’s intent to ease the customer transition process for closed molding by bringing the connection together.

Ashland continues to be at the forefront in helping customers reduce process emissions and solid waste. Closed molding processes reduce the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). By reducing VOCs and HAPs, closed molding also provides an improved environment for employees.

A vital part of the VARTM process is vacuum bagging technology. Ashland Distribution exclusively offers a reusable, water-based sprayable infusion bag technology called Sprayomer™ elastomers from SR Composites, LLC. The proven durability of the bag allows manufacturers to reuse it for many cycles, which reduces the solid waste associated disposable bagging technology.
