Chemposite Honoured by The Dow Chemical Company for High-Quality
Fabrication with Derakane Resins
San Antonio, Texas, Oct. 22, 1998 - For the second year in a row,
The Dow Chemical Company and a panel of industry experts have
selected Chemposite, Inc., as a winner in the second annual
Fabricator Excellence Awards program for Derakane* Resins.
Encouraging innovation and quality in the fibre-reinforced
plastic (FRP) industry, Fabricator Excellence Awards for Derakane
Resins are awarded to the most outstanding FCP projects
fabricated with Derakane epoxy vinyl ester resins during the last
year.
``Thanks to the outstanding capabilities of fabricators like
Chemposite, and the high-quality FRP applications they fabricate
for their customers, Dow continues to be the top manufacturer of
vinyl ester resins in the FRP industry,`` said Mark Sullivan,
Industry Manager for Composites at Dow. ``The Fabricator
Excellence Award allows us to recognize fabricators for their
contributions to the entire FRP industry.``
Based on Delta, British Columbia, Chemposite was recognized by
Dow for the fabrication of four sets of water jet inlet fairings
for a new, high-speed catamaran ferry, scheduled to serve the
British Columbia area. The fairings, which each measure 1.5
metres x 5 metres, were completed within a tight lead time of
eight weeks prior to the launch date. The use of FRP provided a
weight savings of approximately 40 percent over the originally
proposed aluminum block fairings.
``Dow is proud to be associated with innovative FRP projects such
as the water jet inlet fairings,`` Sullivan said. ``It is the
vision and commitment to quality of companies like Chemposite
that will help FRP expand into new markets and continue to be
recognized as the material of choice for any application that
requires corrosion resistance and structural strength.``
Fabricator Excellence Award entries were submitted by fabricators
throughout North America and were judged by a panel of experts
from the composites industry, including: Tom Anderson, President
of Anderson Consultants; Amanda Jacob, Editor or Reinforced
Plastics; Larry Craigie, Technical Service and Development Leader
at Dow; and Sullivan.
Other Fabricator Excellence Award recipients include Addax, Inc.,
Lincoln, Neb.; Lanzo Lining Services, Pompano Beach, Fla.; and
Troy Manufacturing, Inc.; Henderson, Texas.
