Binders, Repair, Tooling and Other Products

Because we, too, inhabit the shop floor, we know it’s not enough to just supply the resins for infusion, layup and bonding. If our customers are to differentiate through efficient production, they need “end-to-end” solutions to facilitate all the steps in turbine and rotor blade manufacture and repair, from prototyping through molding—and the technical input to make it all work.

Binder system features:

Fix fabrics in place for proper laminate positioning during lay-up
Actually crosslink into the cured laminate via epoxy functionality (PR685, PR687 and PR688)
Utilize a novel hotmelt spray-swirl application technique (05390)

Repair system features:

Cartridge delivery makes field repairs easy
Performs in many environmental conditions
Excellent bonding to various substrates, even metal
Easy 2:1 mixing ratio

Tooling system features:

Good chemical resistance
Superior fiber wetting
High Tg (>160°C)
Low exotherm
Low initial mix viscosity
Long/extended pot life
