RESOLTECH 1700 ECO

Hardener 1706 ECO

Biobased Structural Laminating Epoxy System

  • 58% biobased on resin part*
  • 22% biobased on hardener part*
  • Excellent wetting properties on all reinforcements
  • For structural composites parts and tools
  • Room temperature cure & mould release
  • TG max up to 98°C

RESOLTECH 1700 ECO / 1706 ECO is a biobased structural lamination epoxy system to manufacture high performance lightweight structures with glass, carbon, aramid and basalt reinforcements with or without post-curing.

RESOLTECH 1700 ECO / 1706 ECO contains no CMR components and complies to the latest REACH European regulation.

Thanks to its low viscosity, this sytem is suitable to traditional wet layup, vacuum bagging or under press.

It is possible to release the parts from the mould without post-curing. To speed up demoulding a 40ºC cure is possible and optimum thermo-mechanical properties of the laminate will be obtained after a 100ºC post-curing cycle.

With 58% of biobased carbon atoms in the resin part and 22% in the hardener part, the use of 1700 ECO / 1706 ECO will reduce the carbon footprint of composites structures making no concessions on thermo-mechanical performances.
