Bitrez is Europe’s leading manufacturer of specialist polymers and chemicals used by world class companies across the globe. We also offer toll conversion/contract manufacturing and technical support. Established in 1982 and based in Standish, Wigan, Bitrez is a Queen's Award winning formulator and manufacturer of synthetic resins, catalysts and curing agents across two locations, supplying innovative materials for a variety of applications including composites, coatings, adhesives and insulation, serving industries including aerospace, defence, automotive, construction and more. Bitrez boasts a diverse range of capabilities over both its sites including COMAH (Seveso) compliance and ISO certification (ISO 9001/14001/18001). Our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant comprises numerous reaction units from 3000 – 30,000 litre capacity, along with exceptional cooling facilities to accommodate high reactivity resins which can operate at temperatures of up to 300°c

Products include Amino and Amino-triazine, Epoxy, Phenolic, Vinyl Ester, Benzoxazine and Phenol-Aralkyl resins along with a range of complimentary curing agents and catalysts.

In the recent past, whilst our focus has always remained the development of high performance polymers, we have adapted many of our chemistries to be compliant with REACH, the European Union regulation concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and restriction of Chemicals, which came into force on 1st June 2007.

However, during the past 12-18 months, a key focus has been the further development of our range of Green chemistry, focusing on bio-epoxy, bio-based curing agents and bio-phenolic (PFA), formulated for processing via numerous methods.

Rapid response and flexibility are combined with in-house R&D offering controlled design, development and implementation programmes, including pilot plant to assure new and existing customers of timely, effective solutions to their resin requirements.
