Dicor showcases Vixen Composites,Corner Seal, other new products

Dicor Corporation “had a great show” according to company president Gregg Fore in describing the action at the Dicor booth during the 52rd National RV Trade Show in Louisville last month.

“This year we found a lot of interest in our Vixen affiliate’s lightweight, load bearing composite panels," Foore said. "This material can be used for such RV components as cargo trailer ramp doors, flooring, bulkheads and bunk decks. These panels are custom-made with fully synthetic materials that are impervious to water. Yet at the same time they provide an outstanding strength to weight ratio. These panels can be up to 50 percent lighter than wood. These are definitely some of the more dynamic building blocks of tomorrow’s RVs."

“Vixen’s other composite panels and FRP options also provide structural components that are lighter, yet stronger and more durable than anything else now available," he continued. "Recently one of Vixen’s custom panels for a commercial building application even received the highest (ASTM E84 Class A) fire retardant rating. This opens up entirely new markets for us.”

“These product enhancements underscore the strength, vitality and purpose of the Louisville show: helping the industry as a whole be aware of some of the newest and best innovations available. I think anyone who came to our display, and to those of other key suppliers, can see that we’ve all embraced the goal of providing new components to build better RVs,” said Fore.

“Sometimes key innovations can look like small things, or simple things, while actually being big things. The Louisville show helps sort that out. Our new Corner Seal product is an example,” said Fore.

Corner Seal is a heavy-duty material for sealing RV corner joints. It’s applied before the molding and provides a durable, flexible and, more importantly, a watertight seal. Leaks are virtually eliminated. That’s a big deal.

This is the latest sealing technology developed by Dicor’s Seal Design affiliate, also well known for its robotic Seal-Tite sealing system that enables manufacturers to quickly produce consistent, quality seals for windows and doors. “Leaks have always been a problem in our industry. Now we offering solutions that can help eliminate them,” said Fore.

“The elements are in place for the industry to develop fresh, distinctive products and solve some nagging problems,” said Fore. “The Louisville show is the most creative hub we have for helping that happen. It’s where you can present new products effectively, ask questions, compare technologies, and come up with new ideas for revitalizing product offerings and making better RVs,” said Fore.
