Nanoledge Launches its New Range of NANO IN RES MASTER SERIES High Performance Resins
Oct 25, 2006
NEW YORK -- Nanoledge has launched the sale of its NANO IN RES MASTER SERIES range of products. The first product in the range, NANO IN RES Laminates 1, is a resin that can be used in the sports, aeronautics and automobiles markets that require high-performance materials.
Charged with carbon nanotubes using the NANO IN technology, NANO IN RES Laminates 1 is an innovative resin with excellent mechanical properties.
Frank BENNARDI, CEO of Nanoledge, said, "The matrices and reinforcements used in the production of composite parts have developed very little in twelve years. Only the "charge" parameter currently still allows improvements to be made in the performance of composites.
Faced with numerous demands by final users for the softening of materials or resistence to shock, we have developed solutions based on carbon nanotubes : the NANO IN RES range".
The recent descriptions given by Compositec, the expert in composite materials with which Nanoledge has just formalised a technical collaboration, shows that the use of the NANO IN RES Laminates 1 makes a net improvement to the mechanical properties of composite materials. The results show in particular that NANO IN RES Laminates 1 is 50% to 100% more resistant and its mechanical performance is multiplied by 2.5 times compared with a base resin.
The resins in the NANO IN RES Master Series range can be used in conventional forming processes and they can be packaged as ready-to-use heat-setting resins.
NANO IN RES Laminates 1 is a resin used in the stratification process. Nanoledge will soon be extending its range to all processes with several formulations.
The range of NANO IN RES will also allow the sports, aeronautics and automobile sectors and high-tech electronic products to make innovative technological advances and allow the development of new, better performing products.
