WHAT: A manufacturer of high performance thermoset industrial laminates WHERE: Yonkers, New York WEBSITE: www.acculam.com A ccurate Plastics, Inc. of Yonkers, New York, is an ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturer of high performance thermoset industrial laminates. A thermoset is a polymer that is irreversibly hardened by curing from a soft solid or viscous liquid prepolymer or resin. A thermoset laminate is composed of thermoset resin binders (such as epoxy, melamine, silicone, polyester phenolics, and polyimides) that are combined with reinforcing substrates (such as paper, cotton fabric, fiberglass fabric, or other fibrous materials, including graphite and Kevlar), and cross- linked under heat and pressure to form sheets, tubing, rods, angles, or shapes. These reinforced laminates are extremely durable, light-weight, and moisture-resistant, which offer many opportunities to replace metals. Thermoset composites are uniformly dense, structurally strong, and will not soften under exposure to high temperatures. Thus, they retain excellent mechanical and insulation properties at elevated temperatures, which allow applicability in places where thermoplastics will soften or melt.
