Process Consumables (MRO Supplies)

MRO Supplies for Composites Manufacturing

Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) supplies, are the tools, equipment, and materials used by composites manufacturers to ensure production processes are optimized and safe. MRO supplies include mold release, Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), tapes, abrasives, shop supplies and more. Composites One offers an extensive range of MRO supplies for every manufacturing requirement.
MRO supplies support the efficiency and quality of manufacturing composite parts. They help to maintain the integrity of manufacturing processes by improving consistency, safety and cost savings. The effective use of the wide variety of MRO supplies contribute to mold longevity, part aesthetics, and functionality. These products also enable effective repair of tools and parts, thereby extending their service life and performance.

Mold Release
Mold release agents allow molded parts to be easily removed from the mold while avoiding pre-release and cosmetic defects. Selecting the appropriate mold release, based on the type of tooling being used and the type of materials being processed, will help protect and preserve valuable tooling.
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA)

Wax-based materials
Polymer-based, semi-permanent release agents
Internal mold release (IMR) agents

Abrasives
Abrasives are used for surface preparation, finishing, and polishing of composite materials. The choice of abrasive depends on factors such as the type of composite material, the desired surface finish, and the specific manufacturing process.

Coated abrasives such as discs, belts, sheets, and rolls
Diamond, ceramic, zirconia discs and cut off wheels
Bonded abrasives
Non-wovens and hand pads

PPE (Personal Protection Equipment)
Safety must be a priority in composites manufacturing. Protective equipment can help protect employees from potential hazards and injuries on the job.

Coveralls
Safety gloves
Safety glasses
Hearing protection
Masks and respirators

Laminating Aids

Laminating aids are used to assist in the precise and controlled placement of reinforcement materials, such as rolled goods or fabrics, to ensure wet out of resin in composites manufacturing. These tools also help ensure proper alignment, consolidation, and adherence of the composite layers.

Fiberglass rollers, brushes, spreaders, squeegees and wedges
Power tools, cutting tools and hand tools
Spray equipment
Buffing pads

Adhesive Sealants, Tapes, & Fasteners

Adhesives and silicone sealants are used for bonding components and sealing joints, gaps, and seams. Tapes serve a range of applications including securing materials during layup, material to the mold, paint masking, and providing reinforcement.

Silicones, polysulfides and polyurethanes
Epoxy acrylic and cyanoacrylates
Masking tapes, packing tapes, duct tapes and electrical tapes
Fasteners
