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. This new generation system, optimized with a low reactivity, low viscosity and excellent air release properties, is suitable for the manufacture any size structures and composite parts by hand layup, infusion and injection moulding while guaranteeing low toxicity working conditions to the user and ease of use thanks to its high wetting properties. It features an adjustable working time from 2h30 to 8h30 with its range of hardeners. It is possible to release the parts from the mould without post-curing. The maximum thermo mechanical properties of the laminate will be obtained after a post-curing cycle to obtain a final TG of 110 ºC. Nevertheless, a post cure is not mandatory depending on the final use of the parts. The resulting structures will result in very rigid with high mechanical and the best interlaminar properties. RESOLTECH 1080S is recommended for the production of marine foils, secondary laminations of chain plates, production of lightweight & rigid skiffs or high performance kayaks & outriggers where the weight/rigidity is key. The 1080S is used on many Dakar wining rally cars, all types of RC models but also for the production of helicopter, gyrocopter & airplane propellers. Low temperature pre-preg users will appreciate this system as it will enable them (with the 1084 hardener) to produce moulds on “cheap” models that do not resist dimensionally to temperature, release from the model the day after laminating and start using the tool right away, co-curing the first prepreg part and the mould at the same time.

Technical Datasheet v2 - 25.01.2016 Previous version - 04.04.2013 MIXING RATIO BY WEIGHT Resin Hardeners 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 risks of exothermic reaction....

In order to obtain a material at the maximum of its mechanical properties with a TG >110 ºC (with 1082 hardener), it is...
