Excellent toughness down to the core fiber

Depending on the application and desired modification, different products can be used for improving laminating and injection resins:
Toughening epoxy resins with copolymers [>]
(Albipox®)
- improved impact resistance over a wide temperature range
(easier finishing)
- damage-tolerant systems
- improved inter-laminar shear strength, better fiber adhesion
- higher pressure resistance (e.g. in pipes), reduced shrinkage
Toughening epoxy resins with core-shell materials [>]
(Albidur®)
- improved impact resistance over a wide temperature range
- negative coefficient of expansion, significantly reduced shrinkage
- moderate viscosity increase on addition, no loss with modulus and Tg
Modifying epoxy resins with nanoparticles [>]
(Nanopox® F, Albipox® F)
- significantly improved modulus and flexural strength
- due to low viscosity increase, suitable for injection processes
(e.g. RTM)
- lower CTE, reduced shrinkage
- improved surface quality (Class A)
Modification and elastification of phenolic resins with block copolymers [>]
(Albiflex®)
- improved impact resistance over a wide temperature range
- damage-tolerant laminates
Toughening unsaturated polyester resins and vinyl ester resins [>]
(Albidur®)
- improved impact resistance over a wide temperature range
(easier finishing)
- damage-tolerant systems
- increased pressure resistance (e.g. in pipes), reduced shrinkage
- hydrophobic laminates with reduced water absorption
