Superior Performance for Next-Generation Materials
Proxima thermosets are designed to deliver the performance characteristics that companies need to address their advanced material needs.
- Exceptional Toughness. High impact strength and resistance to crack propagation for long lasting parts with predictable life cycles.
- Lightweight. Densities near 1 g/cm3 are 10-15% lighter than comparable thermoset resins.
- Excellent Hot/Wet Properties. Extremely low water absorption of polyolefins combined with the thermal stability of thermosets.
- Low Carbon Footprint. Cradle-to-gate emissions 47% lower than standard epoxy resins.
- Low Viscosity Resins. Quick molding of complex shapes, high filler loadings, and low void content.
Compatibility with Standard Processing Techniques
Proxima resins are two-part liquid thermosetting systems specially designed to have a low viscosity for fast and easy mold fill or infusion. As a result, Proxima resins can be processed by most standard thermoset processing techniques into today’s manufacturing processes.
Flexible Property Range
The Proxima resin platform delivers a broad range of formulations, from rigid structural polymers to flexible soft materials, and anything in between.
