Processes:
- Blending Resins
- Resins for blending.
- Bulk Molding Compound (BMC Resins)
- Reichhold supplies resins for bulk molding compound or BMC.
- Casting Resins
- Resins for casting. Casting is a production process for composites in which parts are cast by hand or machine, usually without reinforcements. Reichhold is a major supplier of casting resins for engineered marble (aka cultured marble) and solid surface.
- Clear Casting Resins
- Reichhold is a leading supplier of resins for clear casting.
- Continuous Lamination
- Continuous Lamination
- Cured-in-Place-Pipe (CIPP)
- CIPP resins. Reichhold is the premier supplier of resins for cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) applications, providing both conventional and thickenable resin systems.
- Filament Winding Resins
- Filament winding is a composites fabrication process in which continuous reinforcing fibers are wound under controlled tension around a rotating form to make a structure.
- General Purpose Resins
- General Purpose Laminating Resins
- Lay-up Resins
- Lay-up is an open-molding composites process of placing layers of reinforcing material placed in position in the mold.
- Press Molding Resins
- Press Molding Resins
- Pultrusion Resins
- Pultrusion is a continuous process for manufacturing composites in rods, tubes and structural shapes having constant cross sections.
- Resin Transfer Molding (RTM)
- RTM Resins: RTM is a molding process in which catalyzed resin is transferred into an enclosed mold into which a fibrous reinforcement has been placed. Reichhold's POLYLITE 31515 provides unmatched performance as a low-profile RTM product with virtually zero-shrinkage.
- RTM-Light
- RTM us a molding process in which catalyzed resin is transferred into an enclosed mold into which a fibrous reinforcement has been placed.
- SCRIMP
- SCRIMP
- Spray-up Resins (Open Molding)
- Spray-up is an open-molding composites fabrication process where resin and reinforcements are sprayed onto a mold.
- Surfacing Resins
- Surfacing Resins
- Vacuum Infusion Resins
- Reichhold supplies resins for vacuum infusion. The vacuum infusion process uses vacuum pressure to drive resin into a laminate.
- Vacuum Infusion Resins (Class A)
- The vacuum infusion process uses vacuum pressure to drive resin into a laminate. Class A surfaces can be obtained.
