MORE ADVANTAGES OXIRONS exhibit low shrinkage on cure. OXIRONS can be cured at relatively low temperatures. OXIRONS can often be cured with low cost reagents. OXIRONS provide superior resistance to creep at elevated temperatures. OXIRONS can be cured with anhydride-peroxides to give mate rials characterized by heat distortion curves that do not break sharply with temperature.
New low density Oxiron epoxy resins give you structural components with high strength-toweight ratios. They keep weight to a minimum in critical applications such as encapsulated electronic assemblies for aircraft and missiles. Oxirons give you the most coverage area from every pound of epoxy in your coating formu lations. With Oxiron epoxy resins you can accomplish all these things, because the hard ened resins have 10 to 20% lower density than conventional epoxies! And thanks to the extra q u a n t i t y of product obtainable from each pound of Oxiron epoxy, an economic gain is often possible. Where weight must be kept down, Oxirons may well be the answer for applications such as missile and aircraft parts, molds, tools and fixtures, radome panels, transformers and motors, potted electronic components, printed circuits, as well as for general structural laminate use. O X I R O N S ARE DIFFERENT
Oxirons are epoxidized polyolefins. Unlike conventional epoxies, Oxirons can be cured through reactive double bonds as well as mul tiple epoxy groups present in the chain. 10
C&ΕΝ
OXIRONS have excellent electrical properties and stability at high temperatures. OXIRONS offer high strength, powerful adhesion, good wettingout properties. OXIRONS have excellent chemical resistance—are unaffected by strong alkalis, acids, solvents.
