Resins for composite materials
Thermosetting resins for composite parts, moulds, decorative castings and prototypes. Start with what you want to make and the process available. In laminates, resin is combined with reinforcement fibres.
What to consider when choosing
Fibre parts, boats and coatings
Epoxy resins include systems for glass- or carbon-fibre laminates, marine and wind-energy structures and woodwork. Polyester resins cover marine and sanitary parts, waterproofing formulations and pattern coverings. For tanks, pipes, pools and chemical exposure, vinyl ester resins have specific applications: choose according to the substances the resin will contact and the service conditions.
Moulds and parts with special requirements
Making a mould differs from making the part: hand-lay-up, infusion and filled-casting systems are available for moulds. Size, dimensional stability and available curing help distinguish them. Urethane acrylate resins include carbon parts and construction or transport laminates with fire and smoke requirements, which must be verified for the particular system.
Decoration, prototypes and insulation
For river tables, encapsulation and sculptures, browse epoxy casting resins. Casting polyurethanes offer rigid prototypes, elastomeric parts and insulating foams. Decide on clarity, rigidity or insulation function before comparing pack sizes and components. Consult the technical data sheets for the resin and its components to confirm the conditions for the chosen process.
