Further information and links ▼
In this video tutorial, we take a look at microporous technology for use in resin infusion, specifically MTI Hose® from DD-Compound, and our MVL™ and MVS™ microporous vacuum hose and strip.
The tutorial provides an introduction to microporous membrane products, explaining how they work, how to use them and demonstrating situations where they are most useful.
All of the products used in the tutorial, including the MTI and MVL hoses, the MVS strip and all of the other resin infusion consumables are available to buy from the Easy Composites website:

    Thanks for the comment, yes, this sounds like a good candidate for these products. It might be due to the flow characteristics of your laminate, if it’s a thick stack or you have some slower flowing reinforcements in the (like plain weave carbon, biax or UD) then switching to an outside in infusion and using the VMS Strip would be a good way to go 👍.

    A great clear demonstration as always. Thanks for sharing. Around 11:00 you say about leaks in the bag. If, say, there is any drop in my test before hand is that not suitable for use with these hoses? What if I have a tiny drop that I can't find. Usually I wouldn't worry about it but this sounds like once the infusion is complete the vac is doing very little?

  • @easycompositestv

    @easycompositestv

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Ben, when considering a leaking bag, it would be exactly the same when using this type of product as when not using them; either way, a leaking bag means you’ll gradually lose pressure in your bag and compromise the laminate. To overcome a leaking bag in an infusion is very difficult because at the end of the infusion, the resin will be locking off the vacuum side; if you leave the pump running then you’ll draw off too much resin and, of course, as the resin starts to gel then the vac will stop doing anything at all. Using a membrane product, when the resin reaches the the membrane it will lock off the membrane in that place, the result would be much like closing the vac line and switching off the pump.

    Hi Tom, on a simple component you can do that and in fact, you normally would. Products like MTI are useful on more complex shapes where the advance of the resin flow might otherwise close off air paths to certain parts of the component, or where you can’t predict where the resin will get to last. Take a look at our other, more conventional tutorials on resin infusion, we have 3 other tutorials on the subject - they should give you a good grounding.

    Question on vacuum technique: I have some experience with vacuum bagging as a woodworking doing veneers, laminates and fiberglass-epoxy. For large parts, I used vacuum capacitors (air tanks that already have a vacuum pulled) hooked to the bag. These capacitors great accelerated pulling the bag down. Would this work with composites being infused?

  • @easycompositestv

    @easycompositestv

    2 жыл бұрын

    Well, yes, you can include a reservoir in the setup, this will have some vacuum ‘capacity’, but ultimately it won’t really have any positive effect in a typical infusion setup. It’s rare that the time it takes to pull the bag down is much of an issue but if it’s something you want to speed up, it’s often easier to just connect up a vacuum cleaner which can do the initial emptying of the bag in seconds.

    Hi Shea, no general suggestions but maybe some thoughts would come to mind if you have a more specific question or problem to solve. I guess we could point out that polyester resins will melt styrofoam or XPS foam but epoxy won’t. Although epoxy is a more expensive resin, you’ll save a lot more that the difference by using XPS foam for your shape and the coating that in epoxy to protect the foam. You should then apply a release agent to the epoxy shell and then do your wet layup for the component onto that, that way, you will be able to remove the component from the former shape quite easily.

I actually used to use the MTI Valves 4 or 5 years ago, but then stopped when I did a number of tests and couldn't actually notice them working at all, I was still able to absolutely flood the feed side of the bag with resin when theoretically the valve should have regulated and shut off flow long before that happened. I know DD-Compound say there is a small chance that a bit of debris can get into the valve and prevent it from functioning, so I was never sure this wasn't the case - but it seemed unlikely to be occurring on 100% of the tests that I did.

    It entirely depends on the context and application. Strong as in stiff? Impact resistance? Shear strength? etc. It also massively depends on the skins. A core material is akin to the supporting member on an I beam. Its sole purpose is to improve efficiency of the composite skins.

    Hi chase, its unlikely we’ll put a wheel video together as not only are they one of the most complex composite products you could look to make in terms of the structural integrity and balance but also, the safety critical nature of the wheel makes it something really best left to specialists who can perform the necessary pre-build FE Analysis and Structural Calculations as well as the testing of the finished piece to recognised standards. For an oversight though, there is a great Koenigsegg video on KZread showing their processes.

    The good news is that our EU warehouse opened officially last week and so from hereon, you will be serviced via our facility in the Netherlands rather than the UK. This means that we’ll be returning to a situation more similar to that of Pre-Brexit/Pre-January 2021 so goods that you order will no longer need to pass through customs and there would be less hassle relating to import duties, taxes, VAT, etc. Please see more details here: www.easycomposites.eu/buying-from-easy-composites-eu However, whilst they are both wholly owned by the same directors, the EU and UK sites have to operate as separate businesses for legal purposes and to prevent any issues, you will need to register a new account on the www.easycomposites.eu/ website.

    Because of the really simple demo pieces, doing that would create a perfect infusion, and not show the example of what can go wrong, It doesn't make sense if you look at it from the viewpoint of "how to do i make a perfectly flat peice of carbon fiber," but think of it more in the terms of what could happen on more complicated parts where the in and the out arn't perfect, or the part has a lot of weird areas to it, making it borderline impossible to do it the standard way,

    Surely the vacuum line should have been at the furthest point away from the resin line, to try and eliminate dry spots in that 1st finished test piece!? Having it as close as it was, was always gonna draw resin into the vacuum line too soon, and mess up the flow rate of the resin.

    Well, yes, exactly. That was the point; to demonstrate what would happen if the resin reached the vacuum line before the laminate had fully infused. I thought this was clearly explained but maybe not. Anyway, you’re quite right, you wouldn’t knowingly put the vacuum connector right night to the resin line.
