Scott Bader is set to exhibit new technology and advanced materials for high performance composite parts at the JEC Group's 'Experience Composites' event, from September 21 to 23, 2016, at Messe Augsburg, Germany in hall 1, stand 517. Crystic Ecogel 'ultra-low' styrene content spray gelcoats used in marine and wind turbine blades will be displayed.

Scott Bader will also display the Crestapol range of high performance acrylic resins used in the production of fire retardant and lightweight FRP composite high performance components by open moulding, closed moulding, and pultrusion manufacturing techniques.

The carbon fibre compatible Crestapol 1250LV will be highlighted on the stand, 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. Crestapol 1210 and 1212 grades will also be showcased.

The composites firm will showcase the GelTint volumetric gelcoat RAL colour tinting service that offers a very fast response time, with typical lead times of two working days. The service combines rapid gelcoat order fulfilment in small batch colours with guaranteed quality, performance, and colour accuracy, based on Scott Bader's proven Crystic resin technology.

Crestabond primerless methacrylate structural adhesives extended range will also be a part of the show, including two new adhesive products Crestabond M1-02, with a sub-three minute curing time, aimed at higher volume assembly of metal, plastic and composite components and Crestabond PP-04, a 1:1 mix ratio grade specifically developed for rapidly bonding low surface energy thermoplastics, including polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

Malcolm Forsyth, global director, adhesives & advanced composites business, Scott Bader said, “Scott Bader decided to participate in 'Experience Composites' because we expect it to be an ideal opportunity for the team to combine promoting our advanced composites materials with attending a number of other technical events and plant visits programmed.” (GK)
