SBNA Engineering Thermoset molding materials are produced from four resins: Phenolic, Epoxy, DAP and Silicone, compounded with various reinforcements and fillers. The resulting composites meet some of the most demanding engineering requirements. SBNA Engineering Thermosets are excellent replacements for metallic or thermoplastic components and offer high temperature resistance, mechanical strength, electrical insulation, chemical resistance and other important properties.

 DAP has long been the material of choice for critical high-performance military and commercial electrical components where long-term reliability is demanded |
 Silicone molding compounds are used in insulators for military and commercial applications. |
 Vyntec is a carbon fiber reinforced composite that represents the next step in composite advancement. It provides superior mechanical properties and temperature resistance compared to other thermoset materials, as well as compared to high-temperature thermoplastics.
Sumitomo Bakelite Co., Ltd. has aquired Neopreg AG, a producer of long fiber thermoset composites sold under the trade names Kinel® and Neonite®. Neopreg, based in Gelterkinden, Switzerland, uses a unique solvent-free compounding technology. The resultant materials combine superior mechanical properties with ease of processing.
