EPSILON™ COMPOSITE RESINS

An Efficient, Effective Alternative to Epoxy

 

While epoxy chemistry has served the aerospace industry well for decades, the engineers at Henkel’s aerospace group are always searching for methods to improve the structural assembly process. The goals of Epsilon™ resins are to enhance mechanical performance and durability, while lowering some of the costs associated with composite structure during manufacture and service.

 

Stronger is Better

 

Seeking a durable new resin chemistry that would polymerize at moderate temperature without the evolution of volatile materials, Henkel experimented with several chemistries before discovering the benefits of the benzoxazine compounds used in Epsilon™ products. In addition to such high performance attributes as low cure shrinkage, low water absorption and improved thermal stability, Epsilon™ resins also meet the customer demand for process ease, lower weight, and cost savings.

 

Another Innovation from Henkel

 

For more than 80 years, Henkel has been a consistent, reliable partner and supplier to the world’s leading aerospace manufacturers. With Epsilon™, a family of thermoset resins based upon benzoxazine, Henkel has once again emerged as an industry innovator.
