elevated cure schedules

The Resin Research Epoxy Systems can be used effectively with simple room temperature cure or as an elevated temperature system providing for very high quality, structurally superior composites. Elevated cure cycles give this system higher Tg and HDT through higher crosslink density. Superior to room temperature curing this also gives the best toughness to modulus ratios.

All our systems are based on very new epoxy/cycloaliphatic resin/hardener technology which gives better adhesion and inter-laminate wetting characteristics within the individual fabric fiber bundles. This provides for high strength to weight composites with superior heat stability, excellent resistance to fatigue along with excellent toughness and moisture exclusion properties. Through this chemistry and the effective technique of post curing, the ability of composites to withstand cyclic loading in harsh environments is enhanced.

Because of the nature of this system, the processing of the Resin Research Epoxy materials matrix allows for broad range of techniques. The myriad of resins and hardeners available allow for numerous qualities to be obtained through a materials selection with many processing choices. This allows for all processes including wet lay up, contact molding, vacuum bagging, infusion, etc. to be fine tuned to exacting standard of quality where cycle times can be maximized.
