Consider the opportunities. It is often said that behind every problem is an opportunity waiting to be discovered. And, never has this been more true than in the automotive industry today. Problem: weight reduction. Opportunity: isopolyester reinforced plastic parts. Made with Amoco Isophthalic Acid, Styrene, and Maleic Anhydride, isopolyester resins provide some outstanding advantages. In production: controlled thickening and shrink. And in use: outstanding toughness and excellent surface beauty in addition to lightweight. Isopolyester reinforced plastic can be press and wet molded, pultruded and contact molded (back up and gel coats). And their use is spreading throughout the industry. But that's only one of the problems which materials from Amoco are solving. We also supply Trimellitic Anhydride for plasticizers (Trimellitates) which prevent vinyl fogging. And polybutenes for longer lasting sealants and adhesives. Consider the resource. ___^_ Amoco is a supplier of raw materials with a solid reputation for quality.
