* Quickstep’s resin spray
transfer (RST) technology meets ‘spectacular finish’ test
* Quickstep RST passes European
carmarque’s rigorous environmental tests
* Potential significant
commercial market
Quickstep Holdings Limited, the manufacturer of high‐grade carbon‐fibre composite components, today announced that its resin spray transfer (RST) technology has passed one of the industry’s toughest environmental test regimes for carbon‐fibre composite body panels. Results of these tests, by a prestige European car maker, have confirmed the RST technology’s ability to meet rigorous painted panel benchmarks and enable outstanding finishes. This pre‐qualifies RST technology for consideration in the marque’s commercialsupply tenders.
Carbon‐fibre composite technology is increasingly a feature of highly distinctive, contemporary luxury vehicles. However, achieving top‐quality paint finish and keeping that quality over time is much harder using carbon‐fibre than metal.
