RemForge™
RemForge™ Structural Moulding Compound
RemForge™ is a high-performance bulk moulding compound (BMC) for fast compression moulding of complex parts. It replaces metal with a lighter, durable material for demanding industrial and energy environments.
Overview
Flows into complex, rib-heavy tooling
RemForge™ is a high-performance BMC designed specifically for high-throughput compression moulding. By consolidating rCF into a mouldable charge format, we provide a material that flows into complex, rib-heavy, or non-uniform tool geometries with minimal scrap. This platform offers a "drop-in" solution for engineers looking to transition from cast or machined metals to lightweight, durable composites.

Uses
Where it's used
Moulding compound for complex, rib-heavy parts that would otherwise be cast or machined from metal.
Advantages
What it does in production
Programmable flow control
Charge placement can be tailored to optimise fibre orientation along critical load paths.
Net-shape efficiency
High-flow properties enable one-shot moulding of complex, rib-heavy parts without secondary machining.
Quasi-isotropic performance
Bulk compounding ensures multi-directional strength for predictable structural reliability.
Metal replacement economy
Superior strength-to-weight ratios reduce mass while providing inherent corrosion resistance.
Design versatility
Compatibility for blending with thermoplastic, thermoset, vitrimer matrices to facilitate rapid design iteration and complex geometry forming.
Example
RemForge™ for Downhole Frac Plugs
Frac plugs in high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) fracturing need parts that hold pressure, then mill out fast. RemForge™ is an alternative to metal and glass-fibre composites. Unlike glass, it resists acid leaching and stress corrosion from stimulation fluids, sour gases (H₂S/CO₂) and pressures above 10,000 psi.
Slip rings, valve cages, guide cones and seats can be compression-moulded to near-net shape with little secondary machining. Randomly oriented fibre gives even strength in every direction, which resists shear failure under differential pressure. After fracturing, the plug drills out into fine, buoyant debris, cutting mill-out time.
