Zoltek

In the world of materials, carbon fiber has emerged as the ultimate team player, one that works miracles in reinforcing other materials and lifting them to new levels of performance. At ZOLTEK, we view our role in a similar light. Our objective as a company is to lead the commercialization of carbon fiber as a primary composite building material. It is our goal to help others achieve new levels of performance across a range of products. Carbon fiber reinforced composites are remarkable in their performance characteristics and properties that include high strength, low weight, high stiffness, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, and electrical conductivity. Another important characteristic of carbon fiber is its versatility. Carbon fiber has the ability to work with an assortment of different materials, including other fibers, plastics, metals, wood, and concrete. As a result of this versatility, it is impossible to postulate all of the potential uses of carbon fiber in maximizing performance and lowering life-cycle costs across a range of consumer and industrial products, and across all types of construction. ZOLTEK has become the worldwide leader in rated capacity for producing carbon fiber by making low-cost, high performance carbon fiber through a proprietary continuous carbonization process. Using this knowledge, it is well within our power to truly open the floodgates of demand across a variety of industries.

Teijin Twaron B.V.

"In 1972, AKZO developed its first para-aramid. In 1982 it was decided to start with its commercial production. In the meantime, the new fiber had been renamed Twaron, and forecasts for the product were better than ever before. In 1986, the new plants in Delfzijl and Emmen began production. The first spool, which was made using raw materials from Delfzijl, came off the spinning machine in May 1986. Twaron entered the market one year later. In 2000, Teijin Ltd. took over all Twaron activities. This marked the start of a series of successful and ambitious investments and expansions. Teijin Aramid now markets four different brands of aramid worldwide. Twaron is by far our strongest brand. Since April 2017, all aramid activities within Teijin Ltd. have been merged under one joint aramid business unit, called Teijin Aramid. This was a special and historic step within Teijin, and a compliment to the entire aramid organization. With the addition of our Teijinconex neo plant in Thailand, and our Teijinconex and Technora plants and two R&D centers in Japan, we are now more than ever a strong and international organization. Teijin Limited, our Japanese parent company and the holding company of Teijin Group, is a technology-driven global group offering advanced solutions in the areas of sustainable transportation, information and electronics, safety and protection, environment and energy, and healthcare. Teijin Group has some 150 companies and around 16,000 employees spread out over 20 countries worldwide."

Resinoid Engineering Corporation

Resinoid was founded by Clarence A. Herbst Sr. (1900 to 1989). Mr. Herbst was a chemical engineer who designed and formulated phenolics in the early age of plastics; this creativity led to starting two small companies in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Resinoid grew out of these ventures and was incorporated in 1939. Molding of his plastics was added to the business almost immediately and as a result the company grew. Applications for these high tech phenolics were found in commutators and various custom moldings. This pattern of design to application continued into what Resinoid is today. The ownership and management of the company has continued within Mr. Herbst's family and the company in now in its third generation of ownership, lending consistency to proven principles throughout the years.

Metton America

<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">METTON Liquid Molding Resin is a RIM process (Reaction Injection Molding) where a low-viscosity liquid is injected into a closed mold to produce plastic parts with consistent dimensions, thickness, weight and quality.&nbsp;The mechanical properties are similar to engineering thermoplastics such as PC/ABS, with high impact strength and excellent adhesion to paints and adhesives.&nbsp;</span></p><p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Design freedom and integrated functionality are benefits that help replace traditional materials such as FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic), SMC (sheet molding compound), wood and metal.&nbsp;Having a viscosity similar to motor oil means that internal mold pressures are very low, which keeps the costs down for the necessary molding equipment versus&nbsp;processes such as injection molding.&nbsp;Due to the low viscosity, it is possible to mold very large parts in the size range of&nbsp;120 ft² (9 m²), or injection sizes as large as 150 pounds (70 kg) or more.&nbsp;Large parts with very high impact strength are a hallmark of METTON Liquid Molding Resin.</span></p>
