THERMOSETS
High-strength, flexible, tough products perfect for demanding, heavy-duty applications
RUBBERS
Superior performance from a polymer that won’t soften or distort from its formed shape when subjected to excessive heat
ADHESIVES
When you need high strength and moisture resistance, thermoset adhesives give it to you and they’re excellent for filling gaps.
What arethermosets?
Thermoset products are cured or crosslinked and as such provide superior performance characteristics yet cannot be remoulded—curing is irreversible so they cannot be reheated and melted like a thermoplastic. Recycling of thermoset is commonly supported in the form of chipped up parts used as filler in synthetic ground solutions like playground safety flooring, infill, athletic track sub-layers and any application that can support a filler.
