SP-High Modulus in Supply Agreement with 3M for Use of 3M Matrix Resin in High Performance Marine Applications

SP-High Modulus, the marine business of Gurit, has signed a commercialisation and supply agreement with 3M for use of 3M Matrix Resin in high performance marine applications.

The basis for the agreement is 3M Matrix Resin, a proprietary resin technology which enables the production of stronger, lighter, and more durable composites. 3M’s proprietary resin technology makes it possible for the development of products that improve the strength to weight ratio of components.

Joe Summers, Head of Product Management at SP-High Modulus commented "SP-High Modulus continually strives to develop market-leading products. The marriage of technology from 3M and SP-High Modulus will deliver products for marine applications where performance is everything. Our first product will be launched at the JEC Composites Show in Paris, stand K44, 29-31 March. The new product is a high performance prepreg that shows a considerable increase in compressive strength over our comparable prepreg."

Graham Harvey, General Manger Marine at SP-High Modulus commented "We are pleased to sign this agreement with 3M. The combination offers customers new and innovative possibilities when using SP-High Modulus products".
