RESIN & FILLERS

Characteristics

• Closed cell foam production epoxy systems from 170 to 600 kg / m³.
• The PB 170 / DM 0x, PB 250 / DM 0x, PB 400 / DM 0x & PB 600 / DM 0x systems are two part epoxy formulations which produce closed cell low density foams
• The densities obtained are respectively about 170, 250, 400 and 600 kg / m³ (open mould expansion)
• The resulting foam is white but can be coloured with epoxy compatible pigments
• The hardener modifies the curing time and reachable thickness
• The mix evolves in two steps: rapid expansion and a slow hardening of the foam

Performance Benefits

• Results in a low density foam
• No need for fillers such as microballoons
• Adheres to a wide selection of materials
• Can be poured onto and co-cured with prepregs or other epoxy laminates
• Uniform density
• Excellent resistance to water
• CFC Free

Applications

• Production of epoxy foam
• Core material which can be produced “in-situ”
• Buoyant and adds density to honeycombs in local areas
• Thermal insulation
• Suitable for making foam blocks to be machined, sculpted or modelled

Characteristics

• Resilient ambient curing epoxy foam
• Two part epoxy formulation which produces closed cell low density foam
• The density obtained is approximately 275 kg / m3 (open mould expansion)
• The resulting foam is white but can be coloured with compatible epoxy pigments
• The hardener modifies the curing time and attainable thickness
• The mix evolves in two step; rapid expansion and a slow hardening of the foam
• Simple 1 to 1 volume ratio
• Produces resilient foams with better flexural elongation without requiring any post curing cycles.
