Epoxy Foam
A foaming epoxy resin that is one of the only products on the market which has the following characteristics:
- Produces a closed cell epoxy foam from a two part epoxy system
- Available in four standard densities
- Low expansion pressure
- Can be used in-situ
- Finished epoxy foam parts can be used under water
- Can be used in a continuous process
- Foaming epoxy can be coloured

Characteristics
- Closed cell foam production epoxy systems from 170 to 600 kg / m3.
- The PB 170 / DM 0x, PB 250 / DM 0x, PB 400 / DM 0x & PB 600 / DM 0x systems are two part epoxy formulations which produce closed cell low density foams
- The densities obtained are respectively about 170, 250, 400 and 600 kg / m3 (open mould expansion)
- The resulting foam is white but can be coloured with epoxy compatible pigments
- The hardener modifies the curing time and reachable thickness
- The mix evolves in two steps: rapid expansion and a slow hardening of the foam

- CFC Free
Applications
- Production of epoxy foam
- Core material which can be produced ?in-situ?
- Buoyant and adds density to honeycombs in local areas
- Thermal insulation
- Suitable for making foam blocks to be machined, sculpted or modelled

Characteristics
- Resilient ambient curing epoxy foam
- Two part epoxy formulation which produces closed cell low density foam
- The density obtained is approximately 275 kg / m3 (open mould expansion)
- The resulting foam is white but can be coloured with compatible epoxy pigments
- The hardener modifies the curing time and attainable thickness
- The mix evolves in two step; rapid expansion and a slow hardening of the foam
- Simple 1 to 1 volume ratio
- Produces resilient foams with better flexural elongation without requiring any post curing cycles.
