Epoxy resins are highly versatile, robust materials prized for their strong adhesive properties and protective qualities. These resins excel in a broad range of applications due to their exceptional durability, chemical resistance, and ability to form a hard, resilient surface. Their adaptability makes them essential for industrial processes, crafts, and home projects, where a tough, long-lasting bond or coating is needed.

Key Features
Two-Part System: Epoxy resins consist of a base resin and a curing agent. When mixed, they chemically react to form a strong, solid, and highly durable material.
Excellent Adhesion Properties: Epoxy resins bond effectively to a wide range of surfaces, including metals, wood, ceramics, and plastics, making them highly reliable for various applications.
Chemical and Environmental Resistance: Known for their exceptional resistance to heat, moisture, and chemicals, epoxy resins are ideal for use in harsh or demanding environments.
High Versatility: These resins are adaptable for numerous uses, such as coatings, encapsulations, and laminations, suitable for industrial, commercial, and artistic projects.
Protective Coatings: Epoxy resins provide robust, protective finishes that resist wear, abrasion, and corrosion, making them a go-to for surface protection.
Aesthetic and Functional Finish: When cured, epoxy resins offer a smooth, high-gloss, clear finish, making them popular for decorative applications, such as tabletops and art projects.
Приложения
Industrial Coatings: Epoxy resins are widely used as protective floor coatings and for machinery to enhance durability and resistance to chemicals and physical wear.
Composite Materials: Essential in manufacturing reinforced composites like fiberglass and carbon fiber for aerospace, automotive, and sporting equipment.
Electrical Encapsulation: Used to insulate and safeguard electrical and electronic components from moisture and mechanical damage.
Marine and Waterproofing: Ideal for sealing and waterproofing boats and marine structures due to their superior water resistance.
Art and Craft Projects: Frequently used to create stunning jewelry, artwork, and decorative items due to their clarity and customizable nature.
Construction and Repairs: Applied for filling cracks, bonding materials, and reinforcing structures in construction projects.
How to use
Preparation: Ensure that the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from any contaminants. Sand or roughen smooth surfaces to improve adhesion if needed.
Mixing: Measure and mix the resin and hardener in the specified ratio, often 2:1 or 1:1. Stir thoroughly to achieve a uniform blend while minimizing air bubbles.
Application: Pour or spread the resin evenly over the desired surface using a tool such as a spatula, brush, or roller, depending on the specific project.
Curing: Allow the resin to cure at room temperature or as per the manufacturer’s instructions. Curing time can vary, typically lasting from several hours to a full day.
Post-Curing: For optimal strength and performance, some applications may require an additional post-cure process involving controlled heat.

RESOLTECH 1080S
RESOLTECH 1080S is the highest modulus epoxy system formulated by RESOLTECH to manufacture
high performance, rigid, lightweight structures with glass, carbon, aramid and basalt fibres
with or without post-curing.
Using this novolac based epoxy resin will enable to reduce the amount of reinforcement fibre
used, resulting in lighter, more rigid but also cheaper parts in spite of its higher price compared
to more common Bisphenol A & F based resins.

RESOLTECH 1500
RESOLTECH 1500 / 1504 is an epoxy infusion system with an extremely low viscosity that
enables structural composite parts & tools manufacturing with glass of carbon fibre.
The system is compatible with RESOLTECH´s range of 140°C tooling gelcoat, laminating and repair
systems.
RESOLTECH 1500 / 1504 is a low shrinkage ambient curing system, which provides a simple way to
produce high accuracy moulds. Thanks to its low viscosity and its exceptional wetting ability this system
is designed for infusion and cures at ambient temperatures, it should then be mid-cured at 60°C (140°F)
for 8 hours to guarantee the strength needed for demoulding.
It can then be post cured off the plug to give a material that is thermally stable up to 140°C (284°F).
