Cyclics Corporation and Ahlstrom Glassfibre Oy, a wholly owned subsidiary of Ahlstrom Corporation, have entered into a Research and Development Agreement in wind turbine and marine applications. The agreement will use CBT® resin in combination with Ahlstrom’s glassfibre reinforcements and will utilize various moulding processes.

The initial evaluation of Cyclics resins in combination with Ahlstrom reinforcements is promising and this has led to intensified testing efforts. The low processing viscosity of CBT resins allows for the fast wet out and high fiber volumes required for demanding applications.

Ahlstrom anticipates being able to commercially launch a CBT resin with glassfibre reinforcement in 2005, following completion of the testing period.

Both parties have agreed not to disclose the terms of the agreement.
