Epoxy Systems for Structural Components

Our fast-cure resin transfer or liquid compressing molding (RTM/LCM) epoxy systems enables you to mass-produce lightweight carbon fiber-reinforced epoxy structural body parts in cycle times as short as one minute. We also offer specialty epoxy resin systems for styrene-free sheet molding compound (SMC) manufacturing of structural and semi-structural parts with superior mechanical properties.
