RESOLTECH 3450

Hardener 3458

High Tg adhesive epoxy system

  • 44% biobased on hardener part*
  • Tg up to 90°C
  • 2/1 volume mixing ratio
  • Vertical sagging limit up to 7 mm
  • High adherence on steel and composite

3450 / 3458 epoxy system is a epoxy adhesive with high toughness formulated for structural applications. Its Tg can reach 90°C after post-curing. Thanks to its wettability, elgontation and resilience, this system offers excellent adhesive properties on many materials.

Its grease-like consistency makes it very easy to apply with a spatula. Its vertical sagging limit at 23°C is 7 mm with 3458 hardener.

Particularly resistant to the propagation of micro-cracking, this system is well adapted to bondings subject to important cycles of fatigue. The areas of application of the 3450 are very varied : structural composite and metallic bonding, adhesion promotion layer on secondary lamination specially on cured prepregs...

With 24% of biobased carbon atoms in the resin part and 44% on hardener part, the use of 3450 will reduce the carbon footprint of composites structures making no concessions on thermo-mechanical performances.
