Autoclave
About
SAG provides the services of Heat Treatment for high performance composite parts manufacturing using the most advanced Autoclave by applying carefully controlled levels of heat and pressure to the parts.
Autoclave used for heat treatment in several Applications:
- Aerospace industry
- Rubber and Tyre products Industry
- Glass Lamination Industry
Synthetic Materials
SAG Autoclave provides heat treating for synthetic materials such as: thermoset plastics, adhesives, paints and powder coats, rubber and many others. Common Applications Include:
- Annealing – removes stresses and increases material strength
- Curing – helps materials to cross-link and retain defect-free characteristics·
- Drying – provides a faster liquid removal from the material·
- Hardening – increases the strength of the material for better resistance to wear
