Resin Commercialization, Resin Development, Innovative Plastic

Sins, Switzerland, - Alcan Composites, a business unit of Alcan Inc., and Cyclics Europe GmbH (Germany), a subsidiary of Cyclics Corporation (USA) have announced a cooperation agreement for the development and commercialization of Cyclics' CBT® resin, the cyclic form of polybutylene terephthalate resin, in key strategic markets. CBT® resin is an innovative plastic that allows new material combinations for the composites industry. Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.

Cyclics, the manufacturer of CBT® resin, has granted a global exclusivity to Alcan Composites for the marketing and sales activities for CBT® resin based composite materials targeting display and graphic arts, architecture markets, as well as general industry infrastructure applications. "CBT® resin with its unique characteristics will enable a considerable improvement to both process productivity and product performance, making it a very attractive new semi-finished material for future applications", says Georg Reif, president of Alcan Composites.

The Cyclics Corporation recently named the P-Group, headquartered in Ferrara, Italy as the sole compounder of CBT® resin-based materials for the European rotational molding market. In exchange for this exclusive agreement, the P-Group has agreed to purchase significant volumes of Cyclics' CBT resin for the next few years.
