Additives

Dramatic shifts in resin value, increasing competition, declining industry consolidations and large company expansions are spurring the need for product innovation. Without a doubt, the need to adapt and capitalize upon today's industry changes is key to maintaining success. Doing more with less formula is good for business! Combine the lightness of a polymer with the stiffness and strength of high performance fibers.

Additives found in our standard No Roll™ formulation allow for improved applicability, strength , lower tooling costs , as well as reduction of weight and density. For more information on No Roll™ Click Here.

Benefits of Natural Additives

Benefits of organic additives in the reinforced plastic composites marketplace are numerous, and include:

• Improved impact strength
• VOCs suppression
• Weight reduction
• Reduce formulation costs

Such additives are well suited for a variety of FRP processes and applications: spray-up, filament winding, RTM, tooling, hand lay-up, casting, press molding.

Natural additives are readily available performance enhancers that can significantly reduce production costs while improving quality. Most additives will interact chemically with the matrix resin and usually are very compatible with unsaturated polyesters.

Traits of a superior formulation incorporating natural fillers include strong chemical bonding, a lower specific gravity than glass and an affinity for styrene.
