ATSP Innovations Brand

Supplier:ATSP Innovations

Products:4

Estherm™ uses a new class of polyesters called aromatic thermosetting copolyesters (ATSP). ATSP is a high performance polymer that has the best of both thermoset and thermoplastic systems. It has high dimensional stability and performance like thermosets while being recyclable like thermoplastics. Whether your application needs durable materials (high modulus, strength, hardness) or high temperature stability or low-flammability, Estherm™ can provide the right solution for you. One of the unique capabilities of ATSP is its Self-Bond™ feature that is possible due to interchain transesterification reactions. We can optimize the polymer for your specific application needs.

ESTHERM™ RESIN

Polymer Name:Thermoset Polyester
Chemical Family:Polyesters, Aromatics
Processing Methods:Spray Lay-up, Compression Molding

ESTHERM™ RESIN powder than can be molded into any geometry using compression molding or spray-coated on various substrates. Available in various grades

ESTHERM™ BULK SHEETS

Functions:Molding Compound
Chemical Family:Polyesters, Aromatics

ESTHERM™ BULK SHEETS, a machinable bulk sheet available in standard thickness. Perfect for light weight, high performance parts.

ESTHERM™ MOLDING COMPOUND

Functions:Molding Compound
Polymer Name:Thermoset Polyester
Reinforcement Material:Carbon Fibers
End Uses:Gaskets, Automotive Components, Bearings, Valves, Fittings, Pump Parts

Estherm™ Molding Compound is accomplished by use of ATSP’s high glass transitiontemperatures (up to 310℃ unfilled) and high thermal stability vitrimer resins.Vitrimers are thermosets that due to possessing exchangeable bonds within theirbackbone chain have plasticity and bonding enabled at temperatures above their glasstransition temperatures. This allows fully cured thermosets to be molded and producechemically contiguous components that have excellent structural, tribological, andthermo mechanical properties.

ESTHERM™ COMPOSITE LAMINATE

Functions:Molding Compound
Polymer Name:Thermoset Polyester

ESTHERM™ COMPOSITE LAMINATE, a continuous fiber reinforced with Estherm resin. Perfect for high strength, high Tg applications. Carbon and glass reinforcement available. Machinable and bendable.
