    Epolam 2015 resin is an epoxy system designed for wet layup composite structures. It has a low viscosity and readily wets out fabrics. It is suitable for applications like vacuum bagging and filament winding. The system includes three hardeners - Epolam 2014, 2015, and 2016 - which provide a range of gel times from 60 to 400 minutes. Post curing is required to achieve full mechanical properties and temperature resistance.

    Epolam 2015 Resin

    Technical Data Sheet

    Epolam 2014 2015 2016 Hardeners Laminating system


    Gel time 60 minutes to 400 minutes

    Description
    Epolam 2015 resin designed for production of composite structures by wet lay-up methods and offered with a choice of three different speed hardeners. This allows the selection of a pot life suitable to the size of the part being produced. Well suited for wood impregnation.

    Applications
    Suitable for vacuum-bagging, RTM and filament winding

    Properties
    Low viscosity Readily wets out fabrics Suitable for marine applications Good mechanical properties Approved by Lloyds register for shipbuilding

    PROCESSING
    To obtain the desired temperature resistance and the optimal mechanical properties it is necessary to postcure the EPOLAM 2015 system. This step takes place 24 to 48 hours after application depending on the hardener. In order to avoid any distortion risks it is recommended to support the part on a frame before curing. To allow a good beginning of polymerization of EPOLAM 2015/2016 system it is recommended to work at 68F (20C) minimum.
