Vinylester Fire retardant RTM resin
Description
R840I series is formulated from a high-performance halogenated vinylester resin, combined with specialized additives.
This resin is specifically designed for closed-molding processes such as vacuum infusion and Light-RTM, offering excellent fire resistance, superior mechanical performance, and enhanced chemical durability, while maintaining stable flow behavior during processing.
Product Characteristics:
- Fire-retardant formulation based on halogenated vinylester resin
- Superior mechanical strength compared to conventional polyester fire-retardant resins
- Excellent chemical resistance and durability in demanding environments
- Optimized viscosity for controlled flow during infusion
- Good mechanical strength and laminate consolidation
- Consistent gel time and curing behavior
- Good bonding between layers
Primary Applications:
R840I series is recommended for composite parts requiring fire protection and high mechanical performance, such as:
- Transportation components (rail systems, buses, specialty vehicles, etc.)
- Infrastructure and structural composite elements
- Composite parts exposed to fire-risk or corrosive environments
Recommended Application Methods:
- RTM (Resin Transfer Molding)
- Infusion / Light-RTM
