CompoGraph resins are doped with graphene additives, thanks to which the main mechanical properties of commercial thermosetting resins are increased.
The graphene additive works for all common production processes in the manufacture of composites (Hand Lau-Up, RTM, Infusion, Filament Winding, Pultrusion).
CompoGraph resins guarantee the following characteristics when incorporating graphene:
High mechanical strength
The mechanical properties of polyester resin with graphene are similar or better than those of the most expensive and technologically advanced resins (vinylester-epoxy bisphenol A).
Higher structural stiffness
CompoSmart profiles have a higher modulus of elasticity than standard materials.
Increased durability
Graphene-doped resins have a longer durability for the same design.
Protection against hydrolysis and bacteria
Graphene has positive properties against the effects of hydrolysis and bacteria.
Lighter weight
The resin doped with graphene makes it possible to reduce the weight of the product with the same mechanical characteristics without affecting its durability.
Higher productivity
Graphene promotes polymerisation, reducing curing time. Lower energy cost per metre produced, hence, an eco-friendlier alternative.
Higher tensile strength
Thanks to graphene, the ultimate tensile strength is increased by more than 30 % compared to a standard GRP profile.
Same density
The stoichiometric blend of graphene-doped polyester shows no noticeable change in density or viscosity.
