FRP Engineering
We employ a number of moulding techniques including: Hand Layup, Spray Layup, LPPM (Low Pressure Press Moulding), RTM (Resin Transfer Moulding), RTML (Resin Transfer Moulding-Light), RI (Resin Infusion), and Polyurethane Low-Density Foam (foam cores for RTM, RTML, and LPPM). Closed Mould moulding processes as listed above, i.e. LPPM, RTM, RTML, produce a smooth semi-cosmetic ‘B’ surface. Many of our customers prefer this, particularly where the end user will see the ‘B’ surface of the moulding. By offering such a wide range of moulding techniques, we are able to provide the most appropriate solution, at a competitive price, in regular volumes ranging from a few to several thousand per year.
Assembly
Many of our customers are now looking for complete finished assemblies, which are in a condition ready to fit on line, or on site. Broadwater is able to supply such “ready to fit” assemblies, and has created the appropriate environment for carrying out this type of work. The complexity of supplied assemblies may range from trimmed, finished mouldings with a few bonded location brackets, to ones with calibrated lasers, electronic components, wiring harnesses, and sealing systems.
Design through to Completion
Broadwater provide a full tooling service across the board - taking them from a contract moulder to offering a fully bespoke design & manufacturer service. This has led to significant improvements and innovations in existing moulding techniques, all of which benefit both company and customer.
