Synthetic-resin Production

In terms of quantity, synthetic resins, i.e. synthetic materials, are predominantly used in the industrial sector today. These are alkyd resin, polyester resin, urea resin, phenolic resin plants, dispersion plants, acrylate resin plants or binder plants. What is important is precise dosing of all raw materials, whether solid or liquid, and rapid temperature control of the product to the target temperature, whether heating or cooling.

Resin manufacture with PURPLAN plants

PURPLAN stands for the planning and manufacture of tailor-made plants for synthetic resin production. Synthetic resins are industrially produced resins that play an important role in industry thanks to their preferred use. The synthetic resin plants are divided into:

• Alkyd resin plants
• Polyester resin plants
• Urea resin plants
• Acrylate resin plants
• Phenolic resin plants
• Dispersion plants
• Binder plants

How is resin made?

The synthetic resins are produced by polymerization, polycondensation and polyaddition reactions. The infusible and duroplastic material consists of two components. On the one hand, this is the pure resin and, on the other hand, the hardener (an amino group). Their mixing results in the reactive resin mass. When the hardening process is complete, the duroplastic material is considered complete. In the course of production, care is taken to ensure that both the solid and the liquid raw materials are dosed with absolute precision. Since an optimal material flow is also required, the reaction plants ensure that the product reaches its target temperature as quickly as possible.

What is the difference between synthetic resin and epoxy resin?

A synthetic resin is generally an industrially produced, synthetic resin. An epoxy resin is a synthetic resin that carries an epoxy group (cyclic organic compound). It consists of a resin and a hardener and is processed while it is still liquid.

Epoxy resin manufacture

Epoxy resins can be made in two ways. This occurs either through a reaction with itself (catalytic homopolymerization) or through a reaction with a hardener. The latter is also the more common variant. In industry, a reaction is typically created between two components, epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A. In the course of the manufacturing process, increased safety regulations must be observed. This requirement is due to the properties of the respective reactants.

PURPLAN's resin reaction plants

The reaction plants for synthetic resin production from PURPLAN are the first choice when it comes to manufacturing high-quality products. The reactors can be used from -1/+10 bar and up to 300 °C. The reactors are heated and cooled in external half-tube heating coils using thermal oil or cooling water (depending on the temperature requirements). Direct cooling is ensured with the help of internal cooling coils. The horizontal structure not only enables high dosing in combination with a very good material flow, but also only takes up a small amount of space. The synthetic resin produced by the plants can be used, among other things, as a binder in coating systems and as a component of adhesives or paints.

Tank farms for resin

Tank farms are among PURPLAN's core competencies. Particular attention is paid to compliance with standards, norms and regulations. Compliance with these ensures the proper and safe storage of plastics and liquids. The single or double-walled tank farms have a capacity of up to 100 cubic meters and are made of steel, stainless steel or plastic. They can be installed standing, lying, above ground or underground.

Appropriate filling plants fill the synthetic resins directly into the desired containers.
