Enhanced composite bonding

Conventionally, composite materials, including GRP and carbon fibre, have been particularly difficult to bond due to the problems of achieving a uniform matt surface which can be further complicated where grease or dust are present. Addressing these issues, the action of liquid-born abrasive central to the Vapormatt process, leaves a lightly abraded and thoroughly clean surface that responds much better to downstream bonding processes. 

Manually operated, the Vapormatt Cougar features four gloved access points for manual handling of components with the hand-held blast gun then activated by a foot pedal. Pressure can be varied to suit the composite properties and design. A large viewing window allows the operator to monitor progress, ensuring the optimum surface is produced for the subsequent bonding process.
