Cristex Composite Materials, a leading distributor to the UK composites market, is proud to announce the availability of a new bio range of epoxy resins and hardeners.
Our infusion system delivers a bio-based content of 38–46%, while the hand-laminating system achieves approximately 28–34%.
Our Infusion Bio-based System
• Resin: EC 157.1 BIO / Hardener: W154 BIO
• Designed for optimal flow characteristics
• High mechanical performance
Our Hand Lamination Bio-based System
• Resin: EC 152 BIO / Hardener: W154 BIO
• Retains excellent mechanical and thermal properties
• Ideal for applications requiring ease of processing and high-quality surface finishes
Applications and Markets
Our bio-based resin systems are used across a wide range of industries focused on performance and sustainability, including:
• Marine: Lightweight, corrosion-resistant structures with a reduced environmental footprint
• Automotive: Body panels, structural elements, and interior components
• Aerospace: Secondary structures where thermal and mechanical performance are critical
• Renewable Energy: Composite components for wind turbine blades and energy storage
• Sports & Leisure: Bicycles, skis, boards, and other lightweight, high-performance equipment
• Construction: Sustainable architectural panels and reinforcement solutions
These systems are fully compatible with natural fibres such as carbon, glass, flax, and cellulose, enabling the creation of high bio-content composite structures—up to 80% in some cases.
