Michelman introduces advanced PU fibre sizing for automotive composites.

Cincinnati-based sizing specialist Michelman, Inc, is introducing two polyurethane (PU) dispersions designed as fibre sizing for reinforced composites in automotive under-the-hood applications. Described by the company as ‘unique’, the new Hydrosize® Link dispersions react directly with the matrix resin, delivering ‘exceptional composite performance’ under extreme exposure to water, ethylene glycol and high temperatures, conditions increasingly typical in the narrow confines of modern engine compartments.
