Ashland introduces fire-resistant resin

ASHLAND Composite Polymers, headquartered in Dublin, Ohio, has launched HETRON® FR620T-20M polyester resin. The resin has improved wetting and low shrinkage. It is fire-resistant and meets strict fire regulations without compromising its usability, the company claims.

“Our new formulation has delivered laminates with Class 1 performance without the addition of antimony or other fire-resistant additives,” says Thom Johnson, industry manager for Ashland Composite Polymers. “This new low-VOC resin is ideally suited for hand lay-up, spray-up or filament winding, flame-retardant applications.”
