Epoxy-based laminating and infusion resins
Sika Lamination & Infusion Systems
Epoxy resins for the production of high-performance composite tools and parts
Achieve Lightweight, High-Strength Composite Tools and Parts.
Maximize Process Efficiency and Design Flexibility.
Sika’s laminating and infusion solutions are two-component, epoxy-based systems consisting of a resin and hardener component. Specially designed for the production of high-grade composites, these systems provide excellent bonding to fabric reinforcements, with a wide range of viscosities, working times, and temperature-resistance capabilities available to suit any production process.
Features & Benefits
Sika Epoxy Lamination Systems
Sika’s lamination systems enable the creation of lightweight, high-strength composites via a wide range of production processes, such as wet-layup (including vacuum bagging), compression molding, resin transfer molding (including vacuum-assisted), and filament winding. While most of Sika’s standard laminating systems achieve ultimate properties by post-curing, several provide good physical properties with just a basic room temperature cure. Our unique range also includes high-temperature resistant systems (up to 450°F Tg), and select technologies that offer flame retardant capabilities.
Sika Epoxy Infusion Systems
Sika’s infusion solutions are designed to meet the highest standards of production, process efficiency, and end-use performance, resulting in final tools and parts that provide superior weight-to-strength ratio. These systems offer optimal viscosity and are available in a wide range of working times to maximize efficiency of the infusion process, regardless of part size. While post-curing will achieve ultimate performance, several of Sika’s standard infusion systems provide good physical properties with just a basic room temperature cure. Our range of high-temperature resistant infusion systems provide excellent thermal resistance, achieving Tg's ranging from 280°F to 416°F.
