Thanks wktaylor , but the wikipeida company name mentioned Cytec does not produce GLARE itself but rather provide the epoxy and resin that is used to produce GLARE

Cheers

GLARE is currently produced by Cytec Engineered Materials in Wrexham, UK who supplies it to the Airbus A380 component manufacturing facilities at Stork Fokker in the Netherlands as well as at Airbus in Nordenham, Germany. Stork Fokker has opened a brand new facility next to its existing facilities in Papendrecht, the Netherlands. There Stork Fokker is able to produce Glare sheets of 4.5 x 11.5 m including the milling of doors windows etc. on a state-of-the-art 5-axis milling machine with a movable bed. See attached TDS.
