is highly specialised in the field of thermoset chemistry.
Its Vyncolit engineering thermosets have a combination of exceptional properties that make them the materials of choice for the replacement of metal, as well as thermoplastics, in a broad range of high-tech applications.
Based on phenolic resins and a variety of reinforcing fibres, Vyncolit finds a fit in the most demanding components and operating environments.
The materials are characterised by their heat resistance, dimensional stability and load bearing performance, and by their ease of moulding into high tolerance, complex parts.
This profile enables their specification for a complete spectrum of applications in the automotive, electrical, gas and aviation industries, among others.
Complementing its broad product line, Vyncolit provides a full suite of technical services to customers.
This support, which spans the complete product development cycle from initial design through to prototyping and testing, is delivered by a recently constructed, state-of-the-art technical market development centre (TMDC) at the company's headquarter site in Gent, Belgium.
The TMDC is the focal point of Vyncolit's 80 years of experience in developing application solutions in high-tech mouldable phenolic composites.
Belgian-based Vyncolit traces its beginnings to the foundation of Vynckier in 1920.
A pioneer in this field of electrical devices, Vynckier began producing phenolic compounds in 1924 as a superior but less expensive replacement for the ceramic insulating materials it used in its products.
The company began commercial sales of Vyncolite phenolic material in 1940 with expansion into export business 20 years later.
Rapid growth followed with a number of acquisitions and in 1993 Vyncolit was formed when the company's phenolic products were rebranded with the same name as well.
At the end of the following year Vyncolit was acquired by the Perstorp Group.
