AUSTRALIA - Recycled PET Resins – Paving the way for more sustainable composite applications for the transport industry

Our allnex chemists recognized the need for a more sustainable resin using rPET (Recycled PET) as a starting raw material instead of Terephthalic Acid as used in the conventional polymer production for the transport industry.

The result is the POLYPLEX 473E RESIN, answering the market needs and aligning allnex sustainability objectives with the potential for a significant increase in the volume of rPET conversion in the manufacture of these resins in Australia.  Polyplex 473E resin will contain the equivalent of 2770 recycled plastic bottles per drum of resin therefore reducing waste and promoting environmental sustainability.

  • Contains 25% rPET
  • Low Viscosity
  • Rapid Fibre Wetout
  • Excellent mould flow properties
  • High Distortion Temperature (HDT)

AUSTRALIA - Specialty gelcoats for transport applications

Gelcoats used in road and rail applications must be extremely durable while delivering an impeccable finish. We designed our NUTECH™ 885 gelcoat range to offer excellent UV resistance and high gloss retention in demanding transport applications such as caravan and truck panels to protect them against the harsh effects of the environment. Our AQUAGUARD™ transport gelcoats have been especially developed for transport applications and are particularly suitable for the fabrication of refrigerated truck compartments. Transport panels that require post-painting - in particular rounded truck parts - will benefit from our highly filled Sanding Gelcoats offering excellent tensile elongation and crazing resistance.  

  • High durability
  • High tensile elongation
  • Resistance to cracking
  • Good sprayability
