Composites Europe 2007: NRC Presents Attractive Portfolio for Composites
Hamburg, August 2007. – The Composites Europe trade exhibition will take place at the Stuttgart trade exhibition grounds on November 6-8, 2007. Together with its partner company Ashland Composite Polymers, the Hamburg distributor Nordmann, Rassmann GmbH (NRC) will present a comprehensive range of products and services for the composites segment. At Stand 225 in Hall 6 visitors will be able to obtain information about Derakane™ Epoxy Vinylester resin, Aropol™ polyester resins as well as Enguard™ and Maxguard™ gel- and topcoats from Ashland. In addition, NRC will present products and services offered by PPG Industries for fiber glass composite materials.
NRC and Ashland will provide comprehensive information about the range of products and services to visitors of Composites Europe. Irina Zschaler and Jörg Dahlke, the composite specialists at NRC, will be available for questions and consulting during the trade exhibition. They will also provide information on individual NRC services. As a distributor for chemical raw materials and additives, on the one hand, NRC is well-known for a broad variety of products and services. Thus, for example, NRC boasts an offer that covers all applications for composite materials and polymer molding products with the products of Ashland and PPG Industries as well as its own proven epoxy products. On the other hand, customers profit from the expertise of NRC staff when it comes to application technology and selection of the ideal product for their individual processes. The exceptional services provided by the company such as custom filling, short-notice deliveries and warehousing are distinct competitive advantages as they ensure the smooth functioning of all of the production steps between the supply of raw materials and final processing.
The Derakane™ product group from Ashland will be focused on at Composites Europe. The company’s special epoxy vinylesters are particularly recommended for high-quality composite applications as they offer exceptional corrosion resistance against numerous chemicals, acids and alkalis at ambient and increased temperatures. In addition, Derakane™ Epoxy Vinylester is remarkable for its high impact strength, minimal fatigue, high degree of strength at low weight as well as its excellent electrical and thermal insulation properties. Several of the products in the range of Derakane™ products and services have been modified in the course of the company’s relocation of its production facilities to Spain. Visitors to Composites Europe can obtain detailed information about these further developments.
Under the brand name Aropol™ Ashland offers unsaturated polyester resins (UP) that stand out for their easy workability and good physical characteristics. This applies to the entire range of processing methods – from manual and spray lay-up mold, cold, warm and hot press molding to filament winding and pultrusion, all the way through to modern injection molding (RTM). The fields of application of Aropol™ UP resins are diverse – sailing and motor yachts, high-speed trains, utility vehicles, decorative wall elements in the building industry, swimming pools, sanitary items, artificial marble or rotor blades of wind power plants represent just a few examples.
A perfect supplement to Aropol™ UP resins is represented by Enguard™ and Maxguard™ gel- and topcoats and adhesive pastes. They are remarkable for their optimal thixotropy and good workability, and they are suitable for use in the manufacture of reinforced fiber glass molds and polymer molding products in above fields of application.
In the area of composite glass fiber materials NRC presents the variety of products from PPG Industries, one of the world’s leading fiber glass manufacturers. The company’s range of products and services includes fiber glass mats, roving, direct draw and chopped strands. Customers will profit from the company’s relocation of its production facilities to China through more attractive price structuring.
