Crystic Ecogel ‘ultra-low’ styrene content spray gelcoats range - with four grade options for a variety of end applications including: marine, transportation, buildings, general industrial and wind turbine blades. Ecogel S1PA is developed for wind energy and industrial use and Ecogel Marine S2PA grade both combine outstanding performance properties with only 16% styrene content, enabling VOC emissions to be cut by over 55%.
Crestapol range of high performance acrylic resins - for the production of fire retardant and lightweight FRP composite high performance components by open moulding, closed moulding and pultrusion manufacturing techniques. n particular, the carbon fibre compatible Crestapol 1250LV will be highlighted on the stand. This is a grade option which has been successfully used to closed mould very tough, lightweight motorsport body parts reinforced with glass, carbon and aramid fibres, offering design, performance in use and productivity benefits compared with a liquid or prepreg epoxy resin system.
