Applications - Composites

Epoxy

Description

Composites are widely used in aerospace, automotive, sporting goods, and construction/infrastructure applications. It is often desirable in these applications to increase the toughness of the composite without detrimentally affecting composite flexural or thermal properties.

ZEON'S DuoMod tougheners improve fracture toughness and damage tolerance in thermoset epoxy- and phenolic-based composites. DuoMod can be used in traditional hand lay-up/prepreg processes as well as newer resin infusion and liquid molding (RTM/VARTM) processes.

Please call +1-502-775-2023 for detailed information regarding the DuoMod resins.

Environment

Hydrin^®

Polyepichlorohydrin polymers are part of a broader class of elastomers known as Polyethers. This class of materials is characterized by fully saturated, oxygen containing backbones which impart a good balance of properties to their compounds.

Nipol^®

Nipol NBR elastomers are made by emulsion polymerization of 1,3-butadiene and acrylonitrile. The polar acrylonitrile provides the useful contribution for product applications requiring oil and gasoline resistance, abrasion resistance, gas permeability and thermal stability.
