OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) manufacturers frequently substitute plastic parts for metal parts where weight and chemical corrosion resistance are important. Plastic components are not typically thought of as viable alternatives for metal in rough, abrasive environments. The engineers and chemists at Osborne Industries have over 35 years experience with reinforced thermoset resins to withstand the most challenging applications.
One example is a blower housing used on a cotton picker. The humidity of cotton fields, combined with the abrasion inside the blower, causes metal parts to quickly rust. To solve this, Osborne Industries custom formulated a resin and combined the correct glass reinforcement to mold a housing that could meet the harsh environment of the cotton field.
Osborne Industries can tailor our RTM-Glas™ materials to match a wide range of design criteria specifications like:
· Hardness
· Color
· Dielectric strength
· Impact resistance
· Flame resistance
· Corrosion resistance
· Abrasion resistance
