Hexion will introduce the EPIKOTE BP 535 resin system at the JEC Europe 2015 Composites Show, March 10-12, in Paris.
This new bonding paste, developed specifically for today’s larger, high performance rotor blades, combines outstanding strength and fatigue performance with the long processing time needed to manufacture lengthier blades.
“We work closely with customers to develop innovative solutions to their particular product and process challenges. BP 535 is an excellent example of a collaborative solution to the manufacturing problems posed by larger, heavier rotor blades.” said Johannes Meunier, Hexion Global Segment Leader, Composites.
In addition to the production of rotor blades for wind energy turbines, the EPIKOTE BP 535 resin system is appropriate for manufacturing composites for ships, in sporting goods, molds, tools and other devices. It is suitable for secondary bonding of fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) to FRP and various other materials including wood and appropriately prepared metallic and mineral components.
