Frequently Asked
What composite spray equipment does MVP UK & Ireland supply?
MVP UK & Ireland supplies composite spray equipment from Magnum Venus Products, including chopper and wet-out systems for spray-up lamination, gelcoat spray systems, injection and adhesive dispensing equipment, putty systems, cartridge filling stations, and a range of hand-held spray guns and applicators. Solvent recovery units and material fluid heaters are also supplied.
What mould release agents does MVP UK & Ireland supply?
MVP UK & Ireland supplies conventional solvent-based release agents, semi-permanent mould release systems, and water-based (solvent-free) release agents. The range also includes mould prep primers, mould sealers and mould cleaners. The technical team can advise on the correct product for a given resin system, mould material and production rate.
What are water-based mould release agents and who should use them?
Water-based mould release agents contain no VOC-emitting organic solvents. They are suitable for composite manufacturers seeking to reduce workplace solvent exposure or meet current environmental compliance requirements relating to VOC emissions. MVP UK & Ireland can advise on transitioning from solvent-based release agent systems.
What are material fluid heaters used for?
Material fluid heaters raise the temperature of resins, gelcoats and adhesives before they enter spray or dispensing equipment. Heating reduces viscosity, improves atomisation and helps maintain consistent spray quality in cold workshop environments. MVP UK & Ireland supplies in-line and drum-mounted fluid heaters for composite spray applications.
What is the difference between a chopper system and a wet-out system?
A chopper system simultaneously chops glass roving and sprays catalysed resin into an open mould – the standard spray-up process. A wet-out system sprays resin without chopped glass and is used with separately placed reinforcement fabrics. MVP UK & Ireland supplies both types, along with combination units and supporting equipment.
What is a semi-permanent mould release agent?
A semi-permanent release agent is applied to a composite mould and cures to form a durable release film providing multiple demoulds before reapplication is required. This reduces application frequency and product consumption compared to conventional wax systems. MVP UK & Ireland supplies semi-permanent systems for polyester, vinyl ester and epoxy resin systems.
Does MVP UK supply solvent recovery units?
Yes. MVP UK & Ireland supplies distillation-based solvent recovery and recycling units for composite manufacturing. These units process solvent-contaminated waste – typically from gun cleaning operations – recovering usable solvent and reducing both disposal costs and the volume of virgin solvent purchased. Units are available in multiple capacities.
Does MVP UK provide on-site technical support?
Yes. MVP UK & Ireland has technically experienced personnel available and can provide upon request on-site equipment commissioning, operator training, process troubleshooting and product selection advice across Great Britain and Ireland. Support covers composite spray equipment, solvent recovery and fluid heaters, and all process materials including release agents, sealers and cleaners.
