New microsite helps Crestapol resins go from strength to strength

To respond to the increasing number of product information requests, Scott Bader has launched a dedicated Crestapol microsite at www.crestapol.com which provides specific application information, case study information and technical data. Visitors can also request and book product trials on-line via the new microsite.

Crestapol 1210 resin is recommended for closed mould production techniques, and has already established a reputation for its ease of handling and consistent manufacture of high quality, dimensionally stable mouldings. With the rapid mould fill and fast cure of a Crestapol resin, parts can be quickly de-moulded; production cycle times of 6 minutes or less can be attained, even for large composite parts.

Crestapol 1212 is a very low viscosity, methacrylate-based thermosetting resin, developed primarily for use in pultrusion, but also for closed moulding, where parts needing to meet stringent fire, smoke and toxicity ratings have to be produced. Crestapol 1212 resin can be filled to high levels (up to 200phr) of alumina trihydrate (ATH) fire retardant filler to produce profiles or moulded parts with excellent low smoke, low toxicity, fire performance.

Crestapol 1212 uses standard initiators and additives associated with pultrusion, and can be processed on standard pultrusion equipment without modification.

Dedicated customer focused technical support helps clients optimise the cost & production benefits they can achieve with Crestapol. With closed mould processes like vacuum infusion and RTM, and for pultrusion, we know that “one solution does not fit all”, so the Scott Bader Technical Service teams work with our clients around the world to deliver the best solution for their unique requirements.

As well as general building and construction products, such as domestic and garage doors, Crestapol resins are now well established in the production of panels and components used in rail, metro and other mass transport market applications, plus an extensive range of pultruded profiles for building, transportation and other industrial applications.
