Infusion Connector – with Sealing Surface
The Infusion Connector with sealing surface is designed specifically for resin injection in the vacuum infusion process. Its integrated sealing surface rests beneath the film and ensures a secure seal.
A spiral hose is routed directly through the central opening, while a hose is connected on top, through which resin is fed into the laminate layup.
- Connection for resin feed on top; spiral hose is routed through the central opening
- Material: POM – dimensionally stable, resistant to common resin systems
- Media: epoxy and polyester resin
- Temperature: -40 °C to +90 °C, briefly +110 °C*
- Application: spiral hose pass-through + resin feed in a single component
| Item No. | ⌀-Hose | PU | Material | D1 | D2 | L1 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| IC-08-100 | 6mm | 100 | POM | 8 mm | 10 mm | 55 mm |
| IC-10-100 | 8 mm | 100 | POM | 10 mm | 12 mm | 55 mm |
| IC-12-100 | 10 mm | 100 | POM | 12 mm | 14 mm | 55 mm |
Advantages
- Combines spiral hose pass-through and resin feed in a single component
- Integrated sealing surface supports a reliable seal beneath the film
- Suitable for GRP, CRP and other fibre-reinforced composites
Application
The Infusion Connector with sealing surface is suitable for a range of applications in the manufacture of composite
components by vacuum infusion and enables even resin distribution via the routed spiral hose.
Depending on component size, several connectors are often combined in one setup.
Materials
The Infusion Connector with sealing surface is designed for use with epoxy and polyester resin and is resistant to
common resin systems.
Which Diameter Matters?
Two different dimensions matter for the connector with sealing surface: on top, the hose for the resin feed is pushed on –
here the inside diameter is relevant. In addition, the spiral hose is routed through the central opening and laid within the
part. See the table for the available sizes and dimensions.
Custom Solutions
Custom hose inside diameters and special versions are also available on request.
* Temperature resistance depends on the specific application and medium. The customer is required to verify the product’s suitability under the specific operating conditions.
