Epoxy resin 108 series

injection

RESOLTECH 1080T is the highest modulus epoxy system formulated by RESOLTECH to manufacture high performance, rigid, lightweight structures with glass, carbon, aramid and basalt fibres with or without post-curing. Using this novolac based epoxy resin will enable to reduce the amount of reinforcement fibre used, resulting in lighter, more rigid but also cheaper parts in spite of its higher price compared to more common Bisphenol A & F based resins. This new generation system, optimized with a low reactivity, low viscosity and excellent air release properties, is suitable for the manufacture any size structures and composite parts by hand layup, infusion and injection moulding while guaranteeing low toxicity working conditions to the user and ease of use thanks to its high wetting properties. It features an adjustable working time from 20min to 4h19min with its range of hardeners. It is possible to release tool without post-curing. The maximum thermo mechanical properties of the laminate will be obtained after a post-curing cycle to obtain a final TG of 110ºC. Nevertheless, a post cure is not mandatory depending on the final use of the parts. The resulting structures will result in very rigid with high mechanical properties. 1080S is recommended for the production of marine foils, secondary laminations of chain plates, production of lightweight & rigid skiffs or high performance kayaks & outriggers where the weight/ rigidity is key. The 1080S is used on many Dakar wining rally cars, all types of RC models but also for the production of helicopter, gyrocopter & airplane propellers.
