Composites and advanced materials

Composite materials found in airplanes, spacecraft, helicopters, drones, and other aerospace components often require them to be light in weight but high in strength.

Brenntag is experienced at sourcing multiple composite materials widely used in aerospace production such as carbon fiber, glass, and aramid reinforcement, foam core, and epoxy resins, and can help you find the right aerospace composite chemicals for your needs.

Composites are widely used in architectural applications, due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and the ability to be molded into complex shapes such as curved, corrugated, ribbed, or contoured in a variety of ways with varying thicknesses.

Our composite product range include core additives, core materials, structural adhesives, and more to make your build easier.

We at Brenntag believe that composite materials can help create lighter, safer, and more fuel-efficient vehicles and could even offer more advantages than steel in the future.

Let our teams of experts show you the benefits of heat resistant and weight-reduced composite parts for your automotive project.

The industrial end market uses composites in multiple applications thanks to their corrosion resistance and durability, creating a safer way of storing chemicals and gases.

Our knowledge and experience with polyester and vinyl ester resin combined with fiberglass reinforcements can help you fulfill a variety of industrial composite applications.

The high use of composite materials is apparent in the hulls, decks, and interiors of most watercraft.

Brenntag's full range of marine composite products from our suppliers include polyester, vinyl ester, and epoxy resins, fiberglass reinforcements, and gelcoat coatings for any marine composite components.

Mass transportation vehicles such as trains, buses, and subways benefit greatly from composites, from the vehicle body to interior parts and components.

Composites help to lessen vehicles’ energy consumption, lowering operating costs, reducing wear and tear, and increasing capacity.

Brenntag has years of industry experience in cast polymer ingredients such as calcium carbonate, pigment dispersions, and Gelcoat coatings.

Whether your customers are building a house or just renovating a room, Brenntag can help you find the right materials for any cast polymer application, including kitchen countertops, sinks and wall cladding.

Multiple industries such as aerospace & defense, transportation, industrial, and oil & gas are increasing their use of corrosion-resistant composite materials because of their durability and long-lasting capabilities.

Brenntag’s line of supplier-provided vinyl esters, epoxy, and unsaturated polyester resins, paired with our knowledge of corrosion composites that offer long-term resistance from air pollution, chemical processing, desalination, and outdoor exposure, can help make any project a sustainable success.

Polymer concrete is used for new construction and to repair existing concrete structures. Its adhesive qualities give this material the ability to repair both polymer and conventional cement concrete substrates.

Applications include swimming pools, sewers structures, bridge overlays, and decks.
