SI-SE-1
Aromatic Polyglycidyl Ether Blend

The SI-SE-1 is a low viscosity resin system that was developed for use at cryogenic temperatures. Due to its short pot life, 3 hours at room temperature, resin transfer molding (RTM) is the best processing method for this resin system. This resin is a suitable for use in other processes, such as filament winding, vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VaRTM) and others, as long as automated mixing equipment is used.
