Hexion’s Composite Technology Wins Two Awards from SPE
Hexion's composite technology was recognized in awards within the North American and Central European divisions, as well the Grand Award.
Hexion’s composite technology was recently recognized by the Society of Plastic Engineers (SPE) at its Annual Automotive Innovation Awards Program. An EPIKOTE™ epoxy resin system from Hexion specified by Rassini was recognized in the Chassis/Hardware category in the North American division and won the Grand Award, which is selected among the winners of all categories. In addition, Daimler was named the Grand Innovation SPE Award winner in the Power Train category of the Central European division with its submission of a gearbox carrier that incorporates Hexion’s EPIKOTE resin TRAC 06398-based epoxy system.
“In partnership with industry developers, we are constantly adapting our composite resin portfolio to answer manufacturers’ increasing need for strong yet lightweight alternatives to metal, that can be produced at faster speeds,” said to Ann Frederix, Hexion’s senior vice president for Coatings & Composites. “Our ongoing advances in resin technology can help manufacturers reduce vehicle weight and at the same time, hasten production of high-performance composite components.”
