TYCOR_® core was originally designed to work with infusion processing. Rather than adapt an old technology to a new process, WebCore took the approach to design the product to best fit advancements in closed molded processing. This is why TYCOR core is the ideal infusion core.

Infusion Molding of 8' x 32' Bridge Deck Panel with TYCOR core:

Time = 1 minute	Time = 2 minutes	Time = 3 minutes
Time = 5 minutes	Time = 7 minutes	Time = 9 minutes

WebCore works with many molders who manufacture a wide range of composite products for marine, wind, industrial, transportation, and infrastructure markets. These molders use different variations of VIP processes, including VARTM and Light RTM.

WIP - WebCore Infusion Process

WebCore has developed a new innovative infusion process called WIP (WebCore Infusion Process). This infusion utilizes a resin plumbing system that is built into the TYCOR core. WIP TYCOR core is manufactured with internal grooves every inch and a half. This new infusion technology can reduce over all infused parts cost.

The below diagram shows the progression of the resin front within the core during infusion.

Typical Plumbing for WIP

Red lines are resin feeds.
Blue lines are vacuum connections.

WIP Benefits:

• Quicker setup time - less pleats
• Lower disposables
• Lower resin consumption
• Greater flexibility on inexpensive raw materials
  • Higher resin viscosities
  • Traditional glass knits and clothes

Additionally, TYCOR core is easy to machine and cut to shape to fit the tools. Please see our User's Guide for information regarding this topic.
