Alistair Little joined Electrolube as Global Business Technical Director for the company’s Resins Division in January 2016. He currently heads up a team of chemists developing formulations that encompass epoxy, polyurethane and silicone resin systems for encapsulating or potting electrical devices or electronic components in order to protect them against a wide range of environments.
In his previous appointment at Gurit (UK) he held the position of Senior Product Development Chemist, responsible for the development of new epoxy and vinyl ester resin systems for aerospace, automotive, engineering and marine composite systems. Prior to this, he worked for 2K Polymer Systems, where he developed civil engineering and structural adhesives, and at SI Group, where he worked on UV curing and high performance resins.
As a chemist for Schenectady-Beck, he was responsible for the development of primary and secondary electrical insulation resins.
Alistair completed his BSc. (Hons) in Chemistry, at the University of East Anglia in 1995. He then subsequently undertook an MSc. in Polymer Science and Engineering, at London Metropolitan University in 2003. Alistair is an expert in vinyl ester resin systems (for which he is in the process of completing a PhD in Polymer Chemistry at Loughborough University). He is a Chartered Chemist, an active member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and a member of the Society of Adhesion and Adhesives.
