High-performance thermosets
Epoxy, vinyl ester and polyester systems tuned for glass-transition temperature, toughness and high chemical resistance.
The science behind the solution.
Capabilities shows how deep the work goes, from cross-link chemistry to void-content control and circular-economy integration.
Resin advancements
Engineering the matrix at molecular scale.
The matrix dictates toughness, temperature capability and durability. OCS works across conventional and frontier chemistries to dial in exactly the property profile a programme needs.
Bio-based & recyclable resins
Renewable feedstocks and reprocessable chemistries that cut embodied carbon without a performance penalty.
UV-curable systems
UV-activated systems that refine the curing process, raise polymerization quality and shorten production cycles for structural laminates.
Styrene-free solutions
Reduced-emission chemistries that cut styrene and VOCs, helping you stay compliant with new and evolving regulations.
Toughened & hybrid matrices
Rubber- and thermoplastic-modified blends that lift fracture toughness and resistance to delamination.
Tailored cure systems
Snap-cure and latent-hardener chemistries that match cycle time and exotherm to the moulding process.
Property improvements
Tuning performance, property by property.
A composite is a system of trade-offs. We push the levers that matter for your environment while protecting the ones that don't.
Combined polymers that raise fracture toughness and resistance to delamination, critical for impact-prone parts.
- Thermoplastic toughening
Halogen-free flame-retardant chemistries and intumescent systems meet the smoke, toxicity and flame-spread requirements of rail and building applications, without crippling performance.
- Halogen-free FR additives
- Low smoke & toxicity (FST)
UV-stabilised resins and gel-coat resins protect outdoor and marine structures from chalking, colour loss and surface degradation across decades of exposure.
- UV absorbers
- Colour-fast pigment systems
Vinyl-ester and novolac-epoxy systems resist acids, alkalis, fuels and solvents, essential for chemical-process equipment, storage tanks, pipework and offshore structures.
- Vinyl-ester barrier layers
- Novolac epoxy systems
- Corrosion-barrier resins
- Permeation-resistant liners
Manufacturing process optimisation
From lab result to repeatable production.
We match the process to the part, then tune it for low void content, faster cycle time and consistent quality at volume.
Resin Transfer Moulding
Closed-mould injection for complex, near-net-shape parts with two good surfaces and tight tolerances.
Pultrusion
Continuous, highly automated production of constant-cross-section profiles at low unit cost.
Resin Infusion (VARTM)
Vacuum-driven infusion of very large structures (hulls, blades) with excellent fibre fractions.
Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP)
Resin-saturated liners installed and cured inside existing pipes, rebuilding them structurally with no excavation or replacement.
Continuous Laminates
Continuous lamination of flat and profiled composite sheet and panel in a single uninterrupted run, for consistent quality at any length.
↓ Voids
Optimised flow & debulk
↑ Throughput
Faster cure kinetics
↑ Consistency
Repeatable part quality
Futurability
Performance and circularity, designed together.
Sustainability is an engineering requirement, not a marketing line. We build end-of-life thinking into the material choice from the start.
PET & bio-based matrices
Thermoplastic composites that can be re-melted, reshaped and reprocessed, enabling reuse instead of landfill, plus bio-based resins for a more sustainable material footprint.
Energy-lean process routes
Snap-cure resins and optimised tooling that cut the embodied carbon of every part produced.
Styrene-free solutions
Reduced-emission chemistries that cut styrene and VOCs, helping you stay compliant with new and evolving regulations.
Circular-economy integration
Fibre-recovery routes and design-for-disassembly that keep carbon and glass reinforcement in productive use.
