OUR PRODUCTS

Epoxy resins

5M develops and produces systems for laminate production, particularly on the basis of epoxy resins. Our production range includes systems with various properties and viscosity, from extremely liquid to highly viscous and thixotropic.

The optimal combination of epoxy resins and hardeners can be chosen for each application and different production conditions, such as mixture, pot life, curing method, technology and properties of final laminate.

 

Epoxy Resins for aircraft industry

In our product range are resins developed specialy for production of laminated parts for aircrafts, mainly ultralights, gliders or helicopters.

Epoxy foaming systems

5M also produces several foaming systems. These systems first foam after application, thus expanding their volume and filling free space; after that they cure. Therefore they are suitable for production of lightweight elements or to fill cavities during lamination.
