The Rhino Epoxy Division encompasses a comprehensive knowledge of high volume epoxy formulations. As an innovative Epoxy Formulator, we provide standard and custom formulations for Resins, Hardeners, Systems and Civil Engineering applications including the development of high performance matrix resins for use in CIPP and carbon fiber applications.
- CIPP (Cured In-Place Pipe) - Using no dig technology forming a pipe within a pipe CIPP (Cured In-Place Pipe) clients start at the grass roots level with several thousand corporate and independent plumbers performing repairs on home size sewer lines using a no dig technology which forms a pipe within a pipe. Large, municipality and utility scale users are also taking advantage of this technology. CIPP now represents about 25% of the non-wind epoxy sales and growing every day.
- Thermoset Resins - Wide range of applications and products Epoxy Thermoset Resins have a well-established record in a wide range of composite parts, structures and concrete repair. The structure of the resin can be formulated to yield a number of different products with varying levels of performance. A major benefit of epoxy resins over unsaturated polyester resins is their lower shrinkage. Epoxy resins can also be formulated with different materials or blended with other epoxy resins to achieve specific performance features.
- Composites - Infrastructure retrofits for seismic upgrades Infrastructure Retrofit is used for seismic upgrade, blast protection and composite repair of conventional concrete/rebar structures that are failing. The infrastructure market segment has grown nearly 100% per year and now represents about 35% of non-wind epoxy sales. An added bonus in this market is that many applications also use Rhino Linings urethane formulations.
- Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding / Liquid Resin Infusion - Technology for wind energy rotor blades VARTM / Liquid Infusion is a composite manufacturing process in which the dry fibers are laid on the tool and vacuum sealed and the liquid resin is drawn through with a vacuum pump to create rotor wind blades. Liquid resin technology provides for lower cost and lower cure temperatures.
