Pressure Focusing Layer (PFL) process – The patented Pressure Focusing Layer (PFL) is a disruptive technology for the manufacture of advanced thermoset and thermoplastic composite products..
Developed in 2012 in USA, Vistex Composites provides a solution to Green industry & infrastructure, – in line with sustainable development goals for the future.
- Vistex process generates 20 times less materials waste than the Autoclave processes’
- , “Vistex’s process uses roughly 60% less labor per part (note, this is relatively skilled labor)”,
- Compared to an Autoclave, the industry-standard technology, CO2 savings using Vistex’s technology are 120 kilograms per square meter of the composite. This is equivalent to driving 293 miles in an average passenger car’
- , “The chemical footprint of Vistex’s process is on average 8% of the chemical footprint of an Autoclave, but comparable to the chemical footprint of Compression Molding”,
- The cost of curing one square meter of composite with Vistex technology is roughly 60% lower than the curing cost using an Autoclave for volumes over 10-50 units.
- The cost of a composite produced by the Vistex process is roughly 30% lower than market standard while increasing margins for the manufacturer.
