Dual function
March 1st 2004

RTN (Racing Technology Norfolk) has installed the latest Vapourmate 3, wet abrasive blast cabinet from Vapormatt, for the surface treatment of composite and aluminium structural components. Manually operated the Vapourmate machine is used largely for the precise surface etching of the composite bodywork and structural materials (carbon fibre and Kevlar for example) prior to adhesive bonding. The machine is also used for the degreasing and surface finishing of aluminium and special alloy structural parts. The fact that the machine offers this dual function has proved of major benefit to RTN.
