Light curing resins have been used since the start of fiberglass composite fabrication. Light curing was the original method for curing these initial composites. With the advent of peroxide catalysts, light curing methods were abandoned. Thick part curing was not achievable with the earlier photoinitiators. In 1986, a new class of photoinitiators was introduced, which cured thicker (1/2+) composite laminates using ultra-violet light. Additionally, nontraditional methods of fabrication are being utilized with these resins. These new methods include Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM), Cure on the Fly Fabrication, and Wet Edge.
