Trade fair highlight 24. September 2024

Alongside the newly developed injection molding process DECKERFORM PolyFoamX®, the medium-sized company from Bavaria is introducing another industry innovation: the foam back-injection of organosheets. The exhibits at the DECKERFORM booth focus on the back-pressing and foam back-injection of organosheets. Here, too, the goal is to intelligently leverage the specific advantages of different materials. Organosheets are thermoplastic polymer sheets reinforced with fabrics or non-wovens made from carbon, glass, or aramid fibers. Often, these non-wovens or fabrics are made from recycled carbon materials.

The high tensile stability of organosheets and the material-saving, efficient, and very rigid lightweight construction enabled by foaming create unique component properties. This makes such combinations appealing for a wide range of parts, for example, in automotive manufacturing, the sports and leisure sector, as well as in medical technology, architecture, and construction. 'At DECKERFORM, we wanted to take advantage of these properties and have been intensively researching the combination of foam injection molding and the integration of organosheets since last year. Now, for the first time, we can present our successes at FAKUMA,' says Anna Tschacha.
