ASHLAND INTRODUCES NEW LINE OF RESINS FOR VACUUM INFUSION PROCESS
In a continuing effort to develop new solutions to meet changing market demands, Ashland has developed a line of resins that offers tailored cure times to meet a customer's needs. The resins produce a more structurally sound composite part in a 'worker-friendly' environment with less resin waste. 'We're pleased to offer a new infusion line of resins that meets the environmental concerns and production needs of today's demanding marketplace,' said Dwight Rust, business development manager, Ashland Composite Polymers. 'The high performance properties of our resins combined with the vacuum infusion process will provide dependable reactivity, excellent flow and rapid infusion.' Vacuum infusion molding is enjoying resurgence because of a continuing focus on reducing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in the composites industry. Ashland's robust group of resins for infusion molding includes its HETRON®, MODAR®, AROPOLTM and AME® 2000 lines bringing low viscosity and superior infusion performance to industries ranging from marine to mass transit. Ashland Composite Polymers and Ashland Distribution will present a demonstration of 'The Basics of Infusion Molding' on Thursday, Oct. 7, at 2:30 p.m., and Friday, Oct. 8, at 9:00 a.m., at the American Composites Manufacturers Association (ACMA) trade show in Tampa, Fla., in the demonstration area.
