As a manufacturer of fiber-reinforced plastics or as an industrial user, rest assured of the advantages of Gremolith AG's unsaturated polyester resins:
- Customized to meet your requirements.
- Filled variants with specific properties.
- Fire- and flame-retardant settings.
- Adhesive resins with highest tensile shear strength.
- Binders for mastics, mortars and fillers.
Unsaturated polyester resins are reactive resins that are synthesized by the polycondensation of diols and dicarboxylic acids. The choice of monomers and the ratios to one another control the properties during processing and of the cured product. Depending on the application, the processing method, the type, and amount of reinforcing material as well as the hardener component are selected individually. Typically, crosslinking, based on free-radical induced polymerization mechanism, takes place at room temperature.

Compared to unsaturated polyester resins, vinyl ester resins offer a particularly high chemical and thermal resistance. Typically dissolved in styrene, they react under the same conditions to form high-strength, thermoset plastics.
-
Copolymer made/composed of epoxy resin with/and monocarboxylic acids.
-
Exceptional chemical stability against acids, alkalis, and a wide range of other chemicals.
-
High thermal resistance with good mechanical properties.
-
Application in corrosive environments, e.g. in chemical process plants or other industries with similar requirements.
This special variant of unsaturated polyester resins are formulated without styrene and can be applied wherever styrene is to be avoided from a physiological or occupational hygiene perspective.
The wide range of casting resins based on polyurethane and epoxy resins offers you a variety of possible applications in model and mold making. Depending on the casting process you are aiming for, whether solid casting, backfilling or front-layer casting, you can choose between a series of suitable products.
Applications
-
Efficient and economical production of foam, RIM and vacuum thermoforming molds.
-
For models, core souls and negatives.
-
Customized to the respective casting processes.
-
Casting of components for motors and insulators in the electrical industry.
With over 30 years of experience, at Gremolith AG we develop and produce special furan and phenolic resins. We guarantee the highest quality standards throughout all production steps.
Phenolic resins are synthesized as polycondensate of phenol with formaldehyde.
Furan resins are copolymers of furfuryl alcohol, urea, phenol, etc.
Applications
- Applications in adhesives, impregnations, electrical insulations, coatings and composites.
- Exceptional heat and fire-resistant properties.
- Binder for sand casting molds.
Production of laminates, coatings, and moldings compounds with acid-curing aqueous phenolic resins.
- Railway applications – Fire protection in rail vehicles according to EN45545-2: HL3
- Flame-retardant and combustible
- Very hard plastics or plastic films
- Excellent temperature and chemical resistance
- Very good dimensional stability
- Very low water absorption/uptake

Furan resins are becoming increasingly important from an ecological point of view, since the starting materials can be generated from food production residues. Free of fossil raw materials, this strategy enables us to produce thermoset, fiber-reinforced plastics, composites, or natural fiber-reinforced semi-finished products.
