K971 Water Foil Structural Epoxy Foam Core
The K971 is an important structural epoxy foam core for making carbon fiber or glass fiber products, like water foil, car spoilers, etc. It can expand in the mold by heating, and solidify after cooling. With a process like that, the K971 can be shaped with high precision, this is the advantage of the epoxy expanding foam, and the carving process is unnecessary.
