Laminating

Product Selector Guide

Introduction
SP-High Modulus pioneered the use of epoxy "wet" lamination techniques for the production of large structures such as yacht hulls and wind turbine blades. Our laminating systems are now in their fourth generation and are built on many years of experience. Our range consists of standard, commonly used laminating products, as well as systems with higher strengths and operating temperatures. Our range of hardeners and modifiers give SP laminating systems a wide variety of working times, viscosities and thixotropy. Our philosophy is to provide useful, cost efficient laminating systems that also take consideration of health and safety and environmental issues.
