CNT Enhanced Epoxy Resins
Rudolph Bros. & Co. offers Zyvex Performance Materials (ZPM) such as Epovex™. Epovex™ is a new line of liquid epoxy resins from ZPM. These resins are high performance, carbon nanotube strengthened epoxies ideal for numerous composites and adhesives applications. ZPM’s patented and proven nanotube dispersion technology gives Epovex superior performance. Epovex processes as easily as unfilled epoxy resin and can be cured with a wide range of curing agents. Epovex is available in both bisphenol-A and bisphenol-F types.
Epovex is compatible with almost all types of composite and casting manufacturing processes. Epovex can be used with most types of reinforcing fibers and fabrics such as carbon, glass, and aramid. It can also be used in adhesive and coatings applications with the proper choice of curing agent.
Through the use of our advanced technology, Epovex offers improved mechanical properties over other epoxy resins while requiring little or no change in your current manufacturing processes. The proven results are as follows:
- 49% Compressive strenght
- 45% Flexural strenght
- 40% Compressive modulus
- 30% Flexural modulus
These property increases will allow you to make a lighter part at the same strength, saving money and material. It will also provide you with the ability to create stronger parts, allowing you access to new markets and new applications.
