Wessex Resins and Adhesives to showcase Pro-Set epoxy systems at JEC World 2023
Wessex Resins is attending the 2023 JEC World event in Paris (25-27 April) and is taking its Pro-Set epoxy team to Hall 5 – F23.
The annual composites trade show brings together global companies — such as Wessex Resins, which manufactures and distributes West System, Pro-Set and Entropy Resins epoxy under license from Gougeon Brothers Inc, and distributes these leading brands across the whole of Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The show is described as a unique showcase of what composites can offer to various application sectors, from aerospace to marine, through construction and automotive.
“We’re delighted to support JEC World and to once again attend this excellent event for showcasing Pro-Set epoxy and its incredible properties. It’s used around the world for the most incredible projects, from Maguire Boats to Spirit Yachts,” says Ian Oliver, MD of Wessex Resins.
Visitors to the stand will be able to examine a Pro-Set epoxy-infused rudder from Spirit Yachts’ 111 and an engine bonnet for the Porsche 911/964s. The team will also be happy to discuss the latest innovations in bio-based epoxies.
Pro-Set products are now used on all Ovington’s OK Dinghies mouldings and have been since 2022. According to Ovington MD, Chris Turner, the complete boat is made using Pro-Set epoxy because it allows them to have a consistently well-built product.
Recently, Wessex Resins announced that Pro-Set is sponsoring the upcoming International OK Dinghy 2023 World Championships, to be held at Lyme Regis Sailing Club from 22-30 June 2023. The event – consisting of ten races – is expected to attract over 100 competitors from New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Demark, Holland, Sweden, France and Norway among other nations. Pro-Set is a title sponsor, alongside Ovington Boats.
West System has recently reformulated its 207 Coating Hardener in response to user feedback, with Wessex Resins saying the new 207 Special Clear Hardener offers an ‘exceptionally clear finish.’
