IDI Composites Introduces Structural Thermoset 2147 for Transportation, Industrial Applications
NOBLESVILLE, IN (USA) - IDI Composites International, the premier global formulator of thermoset composites, introduces Structural Thermoset 2147 sheet molding compound (SMC) as part of its new line of Structural Thermoset Compounds for applications in transportation, industrial, and military.
Structural Thermoset 2147 is a full vinylester SMC with extraordinary resistance to corrosive and high-temperature environments. Key applications include valve covers and heat shields in high-performance, high-temperature heavy trucks, multiple industrial uses in which moisture and corrosive environments are prevalent, and a variety of water-borne products for the marine industry.
IDI's new line of Structural Thermoset Compounds builds on the most popular properties of IDI's standard thermosets, such as durability and corrosion resistance, with exceptionally light weight and superior tensile strength. In addition, these structural thermosets experience little or no degradation in extreme hot and cold temperatures, making them ideal for the most demanding industrial and outdoor environments.
Structural Thermoset Compounds consist of a hybrid chemistry (polyester, vinyl ester, polyurethane, and epoxy) that combines the best properties of the subject chemistries to create unique, enhanced properties. Reinforcement materials are either glass fiber or carbon fiber, depending on the application. This new technology gives the product line its exceptional strength relative to its weight. As a result, IDI's Structural Thermoset Compounds are substantially superior to standard thermoset products, as well as metals and thermoplastics.
