| Proxima ACR 4100 is an ultra-low viscosity resin designed for infusion processes with commercial fabrics based on glass roving and carbon fiber tow. It provides laminates exhibiting excellent fracture toughness, low water absorption and a glass transition temperature above 120 °C. Proxima® HPR High Performance Resins are designed to deliver the right combination of thermal and mechanical properties, in an easy to process system. Proxima® HPR resins offer better thermal stability than standard thermoplastics and better wear resistance than typical compression-molded thermosets, while delivering corrosion resistance, good machinability, a wide use-temperature range, and ease of fabrication. Proxima® HPR resins are two-part liquid thermosetting systems created with proprietary blends of dicyclopentadiene (DCPD) and other norbornene monomers which are thermally activated by Grubbs Catalyst® technology. Proxima® HPR resins are specially designed to have a low viscosity for fast and easy mold fill. As a result, Proxima® resins can be processed by most standard thermoset processing techniques such as mold-casting, spin-casting, reaction-injection molding, and coating.
