Progress in Structural RIM - Cost Effective Composites for the World Automotive Industry

Acrylesterol/isocyanate chemistry makes possible a whole new economical method to produce structural composites…economically. A materials revolution has begun with use of the cost effective RIM process and preplaced fiber reinforcement technology. Advancements in polymer technology, machine design, and reinforcement construction promise to make structural RIM the preferred composite production process for today and tomorrow.

We at Ashland will continue to lead this materials revolution with the advent of new ARIMAX resin chemistries, the 2000, 3000, and beyond series are just around the corner to satisfy end user requirements with unique reactive chemistry.
