Solvay MTM® 57 series Epoxy Matrices
Categories: Polymer; Thermoset; Epoxy

Material Notes: Description: MTM57 series resins are toughened, 80 to 120°C (176 to 248°F) curing, epoxy matrices offering flexible processing and a range of handling characteristics. MTM57 series exhibits excellent toughness and, after a suitable cure, can be used at temperatures up to 90°C (1940°F). Qualified to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety standard no. 302 (flammability of motor vehicle interior materials), and to ISO 3795:1989 (determination of burning behaviors of interior materials for motor vehicles) – when reinforced with 3k carbon fabrics.

Features & Benefits:

  • Versatile processing: autoclave, oven vacuum bag and press molding
  • 30 days out life at 21°C (70°F)
  • 12 months storage at -18°C(0°F)
  • Service temperature up to 90°C (194°F)
