ALBIPOX® F 080

ALBIPOX® F 080 is a high performance elastomer modified epoxy resins specially designed for composites with superior mechanical properties.
By the modification with SiO2 nanoparticles and elastomer components a three phase system is formed in the cured resin. Embedded in the continuous resin matrix are elastic domains (mm size) and hard domains (nm size), thus superior performance can be achieved.

Typical Applications

ALBIPOX® F 080 is used whenever a drastic improvement in toughness over the whole temperature range is required but a high viscosity is not acceptable. This product is especially suitable for composites made by using injection methods.

Benefits at a glance

A cured resin compared with a similar unmodified resin exhibits various improved properties:

Improved toughness (fracture energy, fracture toughness, impact resistance)
Significant higher energy absorption at sudden mechanical impact
Superior mechanical properties at low temperatures
Improved adhesion to fabrics (glass, aramide or carbon fibres)
No reduced thermodimensional stability

Using ALBIPOX® F 080 toughened epoxy resin systems with excellent price/performance ratio can be formulated. ALBIPOX® F 080 is silicone-free, solvent-free and do not contain softeners. It is of medium viscosity, enabling the use in formulations for injection methods (e. g. RIM, RTM). The product can be used as delivered; depending on the respective application it can be blended with up to 50 % standard epoxy resins. It is suitable for the combination with all epoxy resins, no restrictions or incompatibilities exist.
All conventional epoxy hardeners can be used.
