Seeking Bioderived Thermoplastic-like Resin Suitable for Vacuum Infusion or Resin Transfer Moulding

A global chemical company, leading in the manufacturing of products for the Composites, Advanced Composites, Adhesives and Functional Polymer markets, is looking for a bioderived thermoplastic-like resin (i.e., liquid at working temperature) that can be used to prepare medium to large-size glass fibre composite structures. The liquid resin should set to form a hard/solid matrix to consolidate the fibres together to form the finished article. Upon end-of-life, the fibres and the resin should be recoverable to ensure landfill and incineration is avoided.
