Epoxy resin systems are commonly used in the composite and sporting goods industry because of their excellent mechanical and physical properties. These resins are typically two-part systems consisting of a resin and a hardener that are mixed together to initiate a chemical reaction that results in a cured polymer.
In the composite industry, epoxy resins are used to create high-strength, lightweight structures. They are often combined with reinforcing fibres such as carbon fiber or glass fiber to create composites that have excellent strength and stiffness-to-weight ratios. Epoxy resins also have excellent adhesion to a variety of substrates, which makes them ideal for bonding composite materials to other structures.
In the sporting goods industry, epoxy resin systems are used to manufacture a wide range of products, including skis, snowboards, surfboards, and golf club shafts. These resins are typically used to create a strong, lightweight core structure that is then covered with additional layers of reinforcing materials.
One of the key benefits of FINE FINISH epoxy resin systems is our ability to customize products for specific applications. Epoxy resins can be formulated with a range of properties, including viscosity, cure time, glass transition temperature (Tg), and mechanical properties, to meet the specific needs of different applications.
