Composite product, composite product production system, composite product production process, and system and method for reducing voc emissions associated with composite product production

Abstract

A system is provided for producing composite products including a substrate and a resin integrated with the substrate. The system includes a press located between an upstream end portion of the system, which is configured to receive the substrate into the system, and a downstream end portion of the system, which is configured to deliver the composite products from the system; a lower film supply located at the upstream end portion of the system and configured to introduce a lower film into the system and in a downstream direction toward the press; a substrate supply located at the upstream end portion of the system and configured to introduce the substrate into the system, onto the lower film, and in the downstream direction toward the press; a resin dispenser located upstream of the press and downstream of the substrate supply and configured to apply the resin to the substrate to form a resin-substrate combination; an upper film supply located downstream of the resin dispenser and configured to introduce an upper film into the system, in the downstream direction toward the press, and onto the resin-substrate combination; and a film removal station located at a downstream end portion of the system and configured to remove the lower film and the upper film from the resin-substrate combination; the press being located downstream of the upper film supply and upstream of the film removal station, the press being positioned to apply pressure to the resin-substrate combination through the upper film and the lower film when the resin-substrate combination is co-located with the press.
