At Michelin ResiCare, our araminolic thermoset resins are engineered to deliver outstanding performance, safety, and environmental responsibility in demanding industrial applications. These non-toxic, bio-based resins are formulated without hazardous monomers, making them a safer, more sustainable alternative to conventional thermosets. When you choose araminolic resins, you benefit from a unique combination of technical properties designed to meet the highest standards of reliability, sustainability, and social responsibility.
These properties have been developed to work together as a coherent material system, beyond individual performance metrics. This integrated approach enables araminolic Resins to consistently perform in complex environments where mechanical stress, thermal exposure, humidity, and chemical contact often occur simultaneously. As a result, manufacturers can rely on stable performance throughout the product lifecycle, from processing and installation to long-term use.
Mechanical Resistance
Araminolic resins withstand high mechanical stress, impact, and heavy structural loads.
Thermal and Flame Resistance
Maintain integrity under extreme heat for fire-safe and thermally stable applications.
Ablation Properties
Resist friction, heat, and erosion for demanding thermal protection applications.
Rigidity Properties
Maintain shape and dimensional stability under stress for precise applications.
Humidity Resistance
Resist moisture and degradation in humid, wet, outdoor, and marine environments.
Chemical Stability
Resist harsh chemicals and degradation for long-lasting industrial performance.

Technical properties
Transportation, aerospace, defense, and industrial sectors—anywhere materials face high mechanical or thermal stress.
Resi4 CARBON/CARBON and ABLATION achieve stability up to 1200°C with a coke rate >55%, ideal for defense and aerospace.
Resi4 PREG is uniquely triple-certified: FAR25 (Aerospace), EN45545 (Railway), and UL94 V0 (General Fire Safety).
Resi4 FRICTION offers a coke rate of 50-55% and stable braking performance without using formaldehyde, phenol, or resorcinol.
Yes. High thermal performance and biosourced content are not a tradeoff. Several araminolics resins reach 100% biobased while meeting aero/defense specs.
