Investigation of Additives for MDI-based Composite and Binder Applications

Polyphenylene polymethylene polyisocyanate (pMDI) has been widely used as a binder in the commercial production of wood composites such as oriented strand board (OSB). pMDI provides various physical and mechanical properties to the composite material and enhances its processability. Improved processability may include, for example, shorter pressing cycle times, which result in increased productivity. These […]
ISO/ASME Compliant Composite Pipe Repair System

In the past, the repair of deteriorated pipework involved the welding of plates and sleeves, the use of bespoke clamps, or the partial replacement of the faulty section. In recent years, however, the use of polymeric composite materials for the repair of pipes has gained worldwide support and interest. The main reasons for this are: […]
