Gougeon Brothers Inc. (Bay City, Mich.) has announced
an overhaul in the chemistry, pricing and marketing of
its PRO-SET line of advanced composite epoxies. The
company chose to revamp the line after noting a unique
trend: PRO-SET custom resin formulations were consistently outselling some of the epoxies in its standard
PRO-SET product line. The company says it realized it
could deliver these popular custom products to customers faster, and at more competitive prices, by making them part of its standard product line. Accordingly,
Gougeon's chemists reformulated the PRO-SET line for
enhanced performance and adjusted the chemistry to allow 3:1 mix ratios across the board in the laminating and
infusion epoxies. PRO-SET resins can now be chosen by
viscosity, and hardeners can be chosen by speed. This allows engineers and fabricators to select a resin/hardener
combination that best suits their specific projects and
processes. PRO-SET hardeners are now priced the same
in each category, regardless of cure speed. Gougeon also
reorganized PRO-SET's product offerings into four distinct categories: Laminating, Infusion, Tooling and Adhesives. All products have been given a category prefix
of LAM, INF, TLG or ADV to assure the compatibility of
resin and hardener selections.
