AOC Leads Composites into the “Green” Revolution with EcoTek

AOC introduces new EcoTek Green Technologies for leading composites and cast polymers into the “green” revolution that is occurring in the global marketplace. EcoTek technologies help customers become better environmental stewards, follow green regulatory standards, and meet the growing demand for manufactured goods that are friendlier to the environment.

AOC chemists engineer EcoTek technologies to seamlessly offer processing and end-use properties that are better than or equivalent to conventional materials. Conversion to EcoTek green is backed by the industry's best technical support team and most knowledgeable sales force.

“AOC pioneered green resin technology in the 1980s when the company introduced unsaturated polyesters which chemically incorporate recycled polyethylene terephthalate, or PET,” said Emilio Oramas, Business Manager - Open Mold Reinforced. “Over the years, we expanded development of Earth-friendly materials that support customer preferences and requirements for greener practices. Our work has grown to the point where we can launch our new class of EcoTek materials.”

EcoTek technologies are available for the primary composite manufacturing processes and end-use market sectors. The initial product listings on www.green-resins.com and in new AOC literature are: Cast Polymers, Cured-In-Place Pipe, Closed Mold, Corrosion, Open Mold Laminating, Styrene-Free.
