Fiberglass working with low emissions

[fede]

Hi everybody, just wondering if there are other ways of lowering emissions caused by Fiberglass manufacturing, I know Infusion is one of the methods...other suggestions?

Other than vacuum infusion, I can think of a few other ways to decrease styrene/MMA emissions:

1. Use flow coat/impingement type spray guns for gelcoat and/or chopper guns.
2. Low monomer resin systems (almost all polyester & vinylester manufacturers now have these available).
3. RTM process
4. Styrene supressants (wax)

Check the ACMA website (www.acmanet.org ??) as they have a good amount of information on this subject.
