However, ongoing developments in processing and epoxy resin system technolo- gies have made it much more cost efective to support automotive mass production. Technologies such as high pressure resin transfer, liquid and prepreg compression molding in combination with newer fast cure epoxy resin technologies have been demonstrated themselves in series vehicle production. Tis presentation highlights several in-production examples and provides an overview of the technologies in use. Finally, the seminar ofers a model for achieving optimum performance and cost in the design of lightweight composite parts. PARTICIPANTS WILL LEARN: • How carbon fber reinforced composites are saving up to 50% part weight over equivalent steel designs in series production vehicles • How epoxy process technology and resin cure times are no longer a limiting factor for support of series automotive production • How smart/integrated design can yield optimum performance and cost New Developments for Mass Production of Epoxy Automotive Composites REGISTER TODAY FOR WEBINAR AT: DATE AND TIME: July 27, 2016 • 2:00 PM EDT PRESENTER PRESENTED BY www.hexion.com CEDRIC BALL Business Development Manager Automotive, Hexion Inc.
