Fiber Shield No Roll ™

Fiber Shield No Roll ™ (FSNR) is the first and only lamination system designed to eliminate the roll-out stage of open-mold lamination.  Sprayed as a chopped laminate with fiberglass, it provides very fast processing times while also creating high-quality and uniform parts every time.

The FSNR system has several major benefits for part building when compared to traditional neat-chop and roll manufacturing.

• It greatly reduces labor by removing the rollers. Only the chopper-gun operator is needed to build most parts. One person can manufacture large and complicated parts in half the time it would normally take to build the same part using traditional build methods. Larger and/or assembly line parts may require one helper. This is also ideal for manufacturers that use robotic spray-up lamination to manufacture products from start to finish with minimal human involvement.
• It limits worker exposure to harmful VOCs because it removes the need for workers to be up close to roll the surface of the part. It also reduces overall VOCs because FSNR contains 24% styrene when compared to 34% in typical laminating resins.
• It creates uniform and beautiful parts.FSNR includes our patented shrink-reducing technology and practically eliminates the print-through and orange peel of traditional FRP parts.FSNR also minimizes PIN air against the gel coat and builds parts with excellent cosmetics. FSNR was developed to compress when sprayed which greatly reduces air voids in the laminate. The improvement in cosmetics and the reduction of air voids also reduces the need for rework once a part is pulled.
• Glass content is reduced from 33 - 38% to 10 - 20%
• Parts can typically be sprayed and pulled in one hour (shop temperature dependent)
• Skin coat recommended for larger parts
• Recommended for non-structural parts
