This system represents an advancement in sustainable materials, offering manufacturers a compelling alternative to traditional 100% petroleum-based resins.
BioInfusion resin is 32% biobased, designed to deliver excellent performance while minimising the environmental impact.
“We are very pleased to introduce BioInfusion to the market,” said Sam Oliver, operations director at Wessex Resins and Adhesives. “This biobased epoxy resin system represents a significant milestone for the composite manufacturing industry. By providing a high-performance, sustainable solution, BioInfusion enables manufacturers to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining the exceptional quality they require.”
The versatility of BioInfusion is further emphasised by its suitability across a range of industries and applications. Extending from the lightweight components of automotive vehicles and the robust structures of wind energy blades to the durable materials utilised in construction, marine applications, and consumer goods. BioInfusion demonstrates its adaptability and value across diverse sectors.
According to Wessex Resins, BioInfusion has been designed with quality control in mind. Its simple mixing ratio and enhanced air release properties contribute to simplified production processes. This makes it an attractive option for both experienced and novice composite manufacturers. Moreover, BioInfusion exhibits excellent high-temperature stability and boasts a long shelf life, ensuring reliable performance and cost-effectiveness throughout the manufacturing cycle.
The launch of BioInfusion aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally responsible manufacturing practices.
