Resin Systems
Epoxy
The broadest structural thermoset family. Epoxide resin and hardener chemistry can be tuned from room-temperature infusion to high-Tg aerospace prepreg.
In simple terms
The broadest structural thermoset family. Epoxide resin and hardener chemistry can be tuned from room-temperature infusion to high-Tg aerospace prepreg.
Best for
Adhesion, low cure shrinkage, fatigue, structural performance and formulation flexibility.
Watch out for
Mix ratio, moisture, exotherm and cure/post-cure control; some systems are brittle without toughening.
Typical applications
Aerospace, wind, sport, tooling, adhesives, high-performance marine and industrial structures.
