Composite Part Fabrication

ADTECH Plastic Systems manufactures top quality epoxy systems developed for use in conjunction with a variety of reinforcing fabrics including fiberglass, graphite, and Kevlarâ for composite tooling and part fabrication applications.  Our products range from low viscosity, room temperature cure epoxies to high temperature, high performance resin systems with a variety of open times, allowing the user greater versatility for working with large or complex shapes.  ADTECH’s epoxy systems exhibit superior physical properties and impact resistance, making them ideal for use in applications such as racing shells and automotive bodies.

Individual listings correspond to ADTECH's product numbering system. For your convenience a descriptive phrase introduces each product, followed by a brief summary of its features. For additional convenience and ready reference, a chart is available through the link above which reflects handling characteristics and physical properties.

Should you have any application which requires properties "in between or beyond" those noted, or you have a specific need, please contact our technical staff by telephone (800) 255-9934 or EMail. We welcome your inquiries and are prepared to assist you with special solutions and/or custom formulations.

ADTECH also offers custom engineering of system combinations, where surface coats and laminating systems are designed to complement each other for optimum tooling applications.
