Proxxima™ polyolefin thermoset resin systems are compatible with fillers and fibers, enabling Promens Zlin to expand its product portfolio with lightweight, low-carbon-footprint of product, high-toughness polymer and composite solutions.
Performance That Makes a Difference
1. Lightweight yet Strong
– Ideal for reducing weight in vehicles, infrastructure, and energy storage systems.
2. Exceptional Toughness
– Damage resistance and excellent material behavior under load ensure a long durability
– Interlaminar fracture toughness 5x greater than epoxy
– Fatigue resistant
3. Fast and Efficient Processing
– Fills RIM molds in seconds, curing in under a minute.
Processing Technologies:
– RIM (Reaction Injection Molding): for products up to 25 kg
– RTM (Resin Transfer Molding): for high-performance composite components
4. Water and Chemical Resistance
– Very low water absorption and excellent long-term performance in wet, hot, or corrosive conditions.
5. Lower carbon footprint of product (CFP) estimate
– Proxxima resin systems has a CFP estimate ~60% lower than comparable epoxy resin on a cradle-to-gate basis*
