Resins and alike for the industry

UNSATURATED POLYESTER and Hybrid Vinylester RESINS, RESEARCH AND INNOVATION with a human touch.

At Carlo Riccò & F.lli we have been working with unsaturated polyester resins for over 70 years and, more recently, with vinylester, always putting people and innovation first.
Our company works in collaboration with those who use the materials, right from the initial research stages, considering customer feedback as a fundamental measurement of success.
We combine this fine-tuning, testing and analysis, even on on our customers’ own products, bringing together the scientific and production sides of the business and establishing relationships that span generations.

Whether we’re talking about relining, pultruded profiles, spas and mini-pools reinforcements, marine and automotive fiberglass, or abrasives, sythetic stones, mastics, putties, chemical anchoring, casted shower trays or GFRP moulds,
we study and develop products together with our customers, even thanks to continuous collaboration with universities and research centers.

To make ourselves useful in a concrete and productive manner we are guided by one certainty: we are no more expert than those who use our products every day.

The laboratory

The laboratory is the heart and engine of our business: without the ability to do extensive research on and testing of Polyester Resins and our customers’ products we would not get very far. The most important tool in the Laboratory is the technicians’ passion for their work, followed by the equipment, which is able to provide reliable answers to a vast array of questions, including the behaviour of products over time. We are therefore not only equipped for chemical analysis and research, but also for testing of the dynamic/mechanical characteristics of products and accelerated ageing, in particular with machines like the QUV or XENON Test.
