Epoxy Resins of FRP Composite Strengthening

Horse is a manufacturer specializing in providing epoxy resin for FRP reinforcement.

Carbon fiber adhesive includes carbon fiber primer HM-180, carbon fiber levelli ng adhesive HM-180CE, carbon fiber impregnating adhesive HM-180C3P.

Primer HM-180, used for improving the properties of the concrete surface, which is in direct contact with the carbon fiber system.

Levelling Adhesive HM-180CE, used for levelling and repairing physical defect on the concrete surface of the existing structure.

Impregnating Adhesive HM-180C3P, used for impregnating carbon fibers and bonding the carbon fiber fabric to concrete surface .

Mechanical Properties of Epoxy Resin 

Epoxy resins and adhesives are used in advanced applications, such as aircraft, space applications, and defense applications, as well as many composite reinforced concretes. However, it has the greatest effect in reinforcement operations. Epoxy resin has higher durability than polyester and vinyl ester, which is why epoxy resin is used more than other resins to strengthen concrete structures. At the same time, they exhibit stronger alkali resistance.

Epoxy Resin Advantages

The mechanical properties of epoxy resin, such as tensile strength, modulus of rupture, compressive strength, impact resistance, creep resistance, etc., are higher than the corresponding properties of polyester resin

Epoxy resin has a wide range of mechanical and physical properties, which can be changed by adding various materials

Has a small contraction

The epoxy resin has good corrosion resistance and can be in contact with corrosive chemicals and organic solvents

Excellent bonding performance between epoxy resin and concrete, steel surface and fiber

Epoxy resin can fully penetrate and bond with different types of FRP fibers and reinforcement materials
