Whether your composite needs are for structural bonding, general
fairing, gap filling or surface finishing, the COR-Grip line of
products provide exceptional adhesion for a firm bond. COR-Grip
also provides the flexural, tensile and compression properties you
need – all at an economical cost.
Our line of putties and adhesives features the superior strength,
excellent bonding, low shrinkage and corrosion resistance that
your applications require. They are designed for various markets
including marine, transportation, corrosion and wind energy. The
full line of products includes vinyl ester, isophthalic, fire retardant,
and specialty putties and adhesives.

Binding, toughening agent
EMS-GRILTECH (Domat/Ems, Switzerland) introduced Griltex CE, a combined
binding agent and toughener for thermoset resins. Developed for use with
epoxies, polyurethanes, phenolics or cyanate esters, it stabilizes fber struc-
tures or tapes and prevents shifting during resin transfer molding processes.
As a toughener, it offers an increase in residual fracture strength values in
compression after impact (CAI) tests of up to 65 percent. Shear strength also
shows an improvement of 33 percent. www.emsgriltech.com
Thermoplastics-compatible glass fber
AGY (Aiken, S.C.) announced in Paris a range of S-2 Glass and E-glass
yarns with thermoplastics-compatible sizings. Tailored for optimum fber/
resin bonding, the sizing also facilitates the use of the fbers in conventional
conversion processes, such as fabric weaving. AGY says its more narrowly
tailored systems improve glass performance vs. fbers sized with multi-use
sizing systems, making them more suitable for demanding applications in
sporting goods, consumer electronics enclosures and medical devices. AGY
says the new sizings are formulated to work with a wide variety of polymer
chemistries and are available in a range of fber diameters. Sizings are said
to be suitable for high-temperature resins — polyetheretherketone (PEEK),
polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), polyetherimide (PEI) and polyphenylene sul-
fde (PPS) — as well as engineered polyamides (PA 6, PA 6.6, PA 11, PA 12),
polycarbonate and polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). www.agy.com
