Strong growth for composite materials in China Bayer MaterialScience polyurethane systems applications have contributed to the growth in demand for composite materials in the China market.
Bayer MaterialScience has set up a spray competency center in Shanghai,
China, to demonstrate its expertise in polyurethane spray technology in
the Asia Pacific region. It features state-of-the-art processes and technologies
for reinforced and un-reinforced systems. “The center reflects Bayer’s leadership in the field of polyurethanes spray competency,” said Dr. Thomas Braig, Asia Pacific Marketing Director for BaySystems Molded Parts & Elastomers of Bayer MaterialScience. “At our spray competency center, we bring together both high-tech spray machines, as well as our advanced polyurethane spray systems. Our aim is to optimally support our customers in the development of applications based on our full range of polyurethane spray systems.”
Bayer MaterialScience's PRDC in Shanghai features state-of-the-art polyurethane
spray technology. This is enabling development work for a wide range of
applications such as quality bathtubs in China, as well as in the wider
Asian region. “Both technologies stand for highly versatile polyurethane spray systems that enable the efficient production of high-performance, light weight composite structures based on polyurethanes,” said Roy Lin, Head of Business Development for BaySystems Molded Parts & Elastomers, and Automotive Systems. “They allow for efficient wet-in-wet manufacturing with easy handling, without any need for post-curing. Additionally, our spray system is solvent- and styrene monomer-free. This environmental friendly technology is beneficial for all customers, in particular for export business to Europe and the US,” he noted. Examples of Multitec application areas are bathtubs, tractor fenders and other molded parts which require a high quality surface top layer with reinforced structure. The Baypreg spray system is processed in a mold that can be combined with a wide range of reinforced cores, such as glass, carbon fiber, polystyrene, or honey comb, enabling a high-performance and light-weight composite solution. There are various application examples of the spray system in the automotive and truck industry, as well as in surf and ski boards and even furniture parts. Braig noted how such applications have contributed to the growth in demand for composite materials. “Demand for composite materials has grown rapidly in recent years, and has exceeded 10 percent annual growth rates in markets such as China,” Braig said. “Our polyurethane systems Multitec and Baypreg offer significant advantages in terms of quality, productivity and efficiency, as well as environmental-friendliness, compared to conventional fiber reinforced plastics based on unsaturated polyester or epoxy resins. Our polyurethane spray systems are the right solution for all customers who want to be competitively prepared for the future. With the spray center, we are prepared to support them.” * Multitec, Baytec and Baypreg are registered trademarks of Bayer MaterialScience,
a Bayer Group company.
