These versatile resins are suited to a multitude of processes and end-products such as spas and bathware, wind blades, boats, and more.

Atryl has set the standard for automotive composite parts for more than six decades. Class A SMC resins and low density formulations take sheet molding compounds (SMC) and bulk molding compounds (BMC) to the highest levels of performance.

EcoTek Green Technologies enables manufacturers to become better environmental stewards, meet regulatory standards, and establish a marketing advantage – all without sacrificing processability or end-use performance. Products are made with renewable or recycled content.

AOC’s wide range of fire resistant resins includes halogen-free andsynergist-free technologies in addition to traditional systems that use fillers to achieve certification.

These high-performance marine resins are resistant to blistering and cracking and provide improved strength and toughness on finished parts.

AOC’s tooling resins create polyester molds with low shrinkage, easy wetting, lower tooling costs, and smoother tooling surfaces. They are suited for open molding, RTM, and resin infusion operations.

PulTru resins provide higher pultrusion line speeds, improved fiber wetting, and higher fill loads. They offer superior color versatility, surface aesthetics, and durability.

AOC’s casting resins are specially formulated for cultured marble, onyx, solid surface, engineered quartz, and other cast polymer applications. They offer optimum viscosity, filler compatibility, fast cure and demold rates, and consistent coloring.

AOC’s complete line of corrosion-resistant resins offer proven, durable performance in the most corrosive environments. Materials meet specifications for chemical and temperature resistance, mechanical properties, flame retardance, smoke suppression, and more.
