Through this cooperation, the distributor is expanding its range for the manufacturing of composite materials for the German market.
Marketed under the trade name Estromal®, the UP resins are suited to a wide range of applications and provide an essential matrix for fibre-reinforced plastics in industries such as boat building, automotive, transport and wind energy. The portfolio comprises standard resins based on orthophthalic and terephthalic acid as well as a variety of resins derived from isophthalic acid/neopentyl glycol (ISO/NPG) and dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) for the manufacturing of high-quality composites. The types of Estromal® available are characterised for example by very good mechanical properties, high heat distortion resistance and short post-curing times.
