Epoxy and Phenolic Systems for Building and Construction Composites

We are committed to collaborating with customers to find new ways lightweight composites can solve architectural infrastructure and construction challenges. Benefits of building with composites include:

Lesser weight
Durability
Corrosion resistance
Environmental suitability
Ease of fabrication
Multi-functionality, such as integrated thermal insulation
Design freedom
Ease of maintenance
