Customer Quote

We chose to use the vinyl ester resins from Scott Bader because they are robust and easy to use, while the Crestomer® adhesive allows us to save time during the assembling process. We selected the Italian distributor Resintex because of their extensive knowledge of the infusion process and because they are an ef cient partner, providing a ‘one stop shop’ for technical products
