Product catalog summary
Product Overview: RESOLTECH 1040 - 1405 is an epoxy resin system designed for infusion applications, suitable for manufacturing structural composite parts with various reinforcement fabrics. It features low viscosity and high wetting properties, making it ideal for hand lay-up, infusion, vacuum bagging, and RTM processes. The system achieves a glass transition temperature (TG) of 150°C, allowing for high-quality and high-performance parts production.
Mixing Ratio: The resin and hardener must be mixed in a precise ratio of 100:16.5 by weight. Accurate mixing is crucial to maintain mechanical properties. The mixture should be stirred thoroughly for homogeneity and used within the specified pot life to avoid exothermic reactions.
Application Guidelines: The system can be applied using brushes, rollers, or through infusion and injection methods. For laminating over cured surfaces, proper surface preparation is necessary. Optimal workshop temperatures range from 18-25°C to facilitate mixing and fiber impregnation.
Physical Characteristics: At 23°C, the resin has a density of 1.17 and viscosity of 2800 mPa.s, while the hardener has a density of 0.94 and viscosity of 30 mPa.s. The mixed system has a density of 1.12 and viscosity of 300 mPa.s.
Reactivity and Curing: At 23°C, the gel time for 70g is 2 hours, with an exothermic peak temperature of 230°C. Post-curing involves a cycle of 24 hours at ambient temperature, followed by 8 hours at 70°C and 6 hours at 125°C to achieve maximum mechanical properties.
Mechanical Characteristics: The system exhibits a tensile modulus of 3500 MPa, maximum tensile strength of 68 MPa, and elongation at break of 4%. In flexion, it has a modulus of 3400 MPa, resistance of 108 MPa, and elongation of 5%.
Packaging and Storage: Available in various kit sizes, the product has a shelf life of one year in sealed containers. It should be stored between 10°C and 30°C in a well-ventilated area.
Health and Safety: Basic safety precautions include avoiding skin contact and wearing masks when handling dust. In case of eye contact, rinse with water and seek medical advice. The product is labeled as dangerous and corrosive.

Fiche Technique - 13/09/2007 RESOLTECH 1040 Hardener 1405 Infusion Epoxy Resin system High TG ~ 150°C Low viscosity and exceptional wetting properties RESOLTECH 1040 - 1405 is an epoxy resin system formulated for infusion applications. It enables to manufacture structural composites parts with all existing reinforcement fabrics. Thanks to its low viscosity and high wetting properties, it can be used by hand lay-up or via infusion, vaccum bagging and RTM . Once reticulated at ambient temperature, the parts should be post-cured according to the thermal cycle indicated in this datasheet in order to obtain the maximum mechanical properties of this resin system. It’s TG of 150°C enables the realisation of high quality and performance parts as well as tooling for prepreg parts. Page 1/5 RESOLTECH RESOLVING YOUR ENGINERING CHALLENGES www.resoltech.com

Resin 1040 Hardener 1405 Structural epoxy laminating system High TG ~ 150°C Low viscosity and exceptional wetting properties MIXING RATIO WARNING: The mixing ratio must be accurately followed. It is not possible to change the ratio, it would result in lower mechanical properties. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred to ensure full homogeneity. It is important to note that epoxy systems tend to heat up much faster in a pot than as a thin film. It is therefore necessary to only mix the necessary amount usable within the given pot life. Keeping the mixture in flat open containers reduces the...
