Polynt Composites has invested many efforts in research and development for new class of thermoset reinforced materials to answer to the increasing market requests. In particular, in its German plant in Miehlen (near Frankfurt), has been launched a new production line fully dedicated to manufacturing of carbon fiber reinforced SMC for several applications.

An impressive range of products
Polynt has been active in the production, sales, research and development of organic anhydrides
and their derivatives forover 60 years.
Its membership in the major chemical intermediates sector allows the Company to play a central role
in activities ranging from petroleum refining to the production, sale and market distribution of finished
products.
With more than 2300 employees and 35 manufacturing facilities, Polynt Composites is known for its
superior quality and impressive range of products, including Polyester and Vinyl Ester Resins, Com-
pounds, Gel Coats, low profile/low shrink Additives, tooling systems, Bonding Pastes, Catalysts, and
cleaning agents.
In its four plants, located in Italy, Germany, Poland and South Korea, Polynt Composites produces
Sheet Molding Compounds (SMC) and Bulk Molding Compounds (BMC) with a total capacity of
80.000 tons/Y.
Polynt Composites has invested many efforts in research and development for new class of thermo-
set reinforced materials to answer to the increasing market requests. In particular, in its German
plant in Miehlen (near Frankfurt), has been launched a new production line fully dedicated to manu-
facturing of carbon fiber reinforced SMC for several applications.
This industrial line has a production width of max. 1,5 meter, it is equipped with devices able to ope-
rate with chopped carbon fibers with different fiber lengths, with recycled carbon fleece and with all
types of fabric for prepregs.
Polynt Composites has developed and is using new resins systems in order to propose the
CF-SMCs for different market sectors’ applications. The new CF-SMC operates since spring of this
year and has a capacity of about 2.000 tons/Y.

2. In order to develop dedicated products, Polynt Composites Germany has a laboratory line for sam-
pling and small lots; this line can also be used for production of CF-SMC with unidirectional fibers.
Plant’s infrastructures (such as cooled storage, paste preparation area, test laboratory and all safety
and environmental facilities and devices) are already available on site thanks to its current GF-SMC
activities.
For the automotive industries, Polynt Composites proposes a new range of lightweight SMC, with
density of 1.2 g/cm3 and modulus above 8000 MPa.
These low-density SMC are suitable for body panels for cars and trucks. R&D departments located
in Italy and Germany, are studying the next generation of LW-SMC with density of 1.1 g/cm3 and
near Class-A surfaces.
Furthermore, with the acquisition of CCP from Total, Polynt Composites has extended the Class-A
SMC portfolio giving the best solutions for OEM’s.
Other specialties are:
• Structural SMC reinforced with glass fibers. These materials combine high mechanical properties
(Modulus up to16000 MPa) with good flow in the tool;
• Styrene free SMC. Totally new class of SMC without styrene like curing agent. This family has
zero-VOC and can be used for interiors in automotive and trucks;
• High thermal conductivity BMC. Developed formulation of high filled BMC with improved thermal
conductivity (3.7 W/mK) introducing boron nitride as additional filler, maintaining the electrical insula-
tion;
• SMC for aircraft industries. Polynt Composites proposes one material for defined application areas
in aircraft:
- HUP 27: The SMC described by HUP 27 is developed for the fire containment requirements for
cargo areas and fulfills the FAR requirements according FAR 25 App. F, Part I +V and the AITM
3.005.
