ALBIPOX 1000

LBIPOX® 1000 is a high performance elastomer-modified epoxy resin based on Bisphenol A epoxy resin. It is used for the toughening of rigid and brittle epoxy resin systems. The elastomer used is a special nitrile rubber chemically linked to the epoxy resin. During the cure of the resin phase separation occurs, resulting in excellent properties of the end application. A cured system compared with a similar unmodified epoxy resin shows improved properties: Improved toughness (fracture energy, fracture toughness, impact resistance) Much better mechanical properties at low temperatures Significantly improved adhesion to complicated substrates, e. g. oil-treated steel Nearly unchanged heat deflection temperature No or minimal reduction in hardness, thermal, chemical and ageing stabilities
