PRISMTM EP2400
PRISMTM EP2400 is a single part, 180°C (356°F) curing, toughened liquid epoxy resin system offering simple and flexible processing with the damage tolerance required for composite primary structure.
The value of resin infusion is the ability to design complex geometric parts while leveraging a unitized structure which ultimately leads to a reduction in weight, lower part counts and the elimination of many post-manufacturing processes. The growth in resin infusion drives the demand for new resin and textile solutions which exhibit increased toughness and improved processability.
