RESOLTECH 3080 M35 ECO

Hardener 3088 M ECO

Bio-based Hot Curing Epoxy Foam

RESOLTECH 3080 M35 ECO/3088 M ECO is a liquid foaming epoxy system formulated to be sprayed with an airgun at a temperature around 30°C.

RESOLTECH 3080 M35 ECO/3088 M ECO has a free expansion coefficient of 3, enabling the production of a 350 kg/m3 epoxy foam.

The main advantages of this epoxy foaming system over existing systems are :

  • A fast curing time, 20 minutes for a mould at a temperature of 80°C.
  • The 3080 M35 ECO/3088 M ECO contains 30% of bio-based raw materials which efficiently reduce the carbon footprint of the final part.
  • Major improvement of thermal and mechanical resistances compared to existing epoxy foams. No VOC emission.

Maximum thicknesses have to be determined by tests depending on the mould temperature and if the foam will be sprayed on insulative material or not.
