Dow VORAFORCE™ TP Resin Systems
VORAFORCE™ TP resins can deliver improved pultrusion processing speeds with the flexibility to include pre-blended pigments and internal mold release (IMR).
Our aromatic resin systems are styrene free and enable composite materials with higher fiber loading (>80wt%) compared to alternative chemistries. This translates into cost effective, stronger and thinner profiles.
Composite profiles made with VORAFORCE™ TP resins additionally render composites to meet Class A or Class 1 Fire and Smoke (flame spread index <25; smoke developed index <450) rating per ASTM E84, in accordance to the International Building Code (IBC).

Dow VORAFORCE™ TJ and TL Systems
VORAFORCE™ TJ systems offer high surface quality without the need for post-painting. These systems are suitable for molding self-releasing structural parts with densities ranging from 950 to 1050 g/l, providing high impact and temperature resistance. Thanks to in-mold-coating (IMC) technology, they enable the production of already colored and finished products while maintaining fast cycle times.
VORAFORCE™ TL series is uniquely designed for bathroom applications requiring highly filled systems with up to 80% calcium carbonate. These systems combine the versatility of resin with the aesthetic qualities of minerals such as marble and slate to be widely used for in-house design applications like shower plates, bathtubs, and countertops.
