The novel application process allows just 3 grams per m2 of adhesive to be applied to the specified fabric. Using DPA in conjunction with HiMax™ fabrics allows the user to easily position and re-position the individual layers of their laminate stack before resin is introduced. Conformance to tight radii and complex mold geometry is also aided by DPA.
