On this episode, we’ll discuss some exciting news in the world of closed mold technology, as McCLARIN Composites has begun a development partnership with ExxonMobil’s Proxxima business. This alliance is aimed at accelerating the growth of high-speed closed-mold composite manufacturing.

This next chapter includes a multi-million-dollar investment in automated (RTM) infrastructure at the McCLARIN Oklahoma facility. McClarin manufactures composites essential to next-generation buses, trucks, trains, and RVs, as well as construction, mining, and farm equipment. 

Mike Gromacki, CEO of McClarin Composites, and Simon Holmes, Vice President of Sales Marketing at Materia/ ExxonMobil join the show to discuss this new partnership, and what it means for composite manufacturing. 

Simon will share some of the unique benefits of Proxxima polyolefin thermosets. This new resin technology provides a high-performance alternative to traditional choices, such as epoxy, vinyl ester, and polyester. Its ultra-low viscosity, and controlled fast cure dramatically improve processing speeds with minimal modifications to conventional processing equipment.

On this episode, Phillip Taynton, CEO of Mallinda joins me on the show to discuss their new VHM resin system. This launch follows successful commercial-scale production validation. 

This innovation addresses critical industry challenges, including manufacturing efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental sustainability.

Their technology enables manufacturers to reprocess scrap material and rejected parts, significantly lowering the overall carbon footprint of their manufacturing processes while maintaining high-performance standards. 

Given the transformative nature of this technology, multiple Fortune Global 500 companies are already collaborating with Mallinda to commercialize VHM resins to their particular requirements.
