Liquid thermoplastic resinfor tougher composites
Elium® resins are innovative materials for the production of thermoplastic composites reinforced by continuous glass, carbon or natural fibers.
The resulting parts show mechanical properties similar to epoxy composites while presenting the major advantages of high impact resistance, post-thermoformability, recyclability and offer new material assembling possibilities.These results enable the production of structural composite parts in such industries as automotive, wind energy, sports, etc.

Elium® resins can be processed by RTM, Infusion and pultrusion depending on the number of parts to be manufactured per day and the specifications of the part.
Elium® resins are pro-cessed on similar equip-ment to that used today for thermoset composites, with similar polymerization cy-cle times and conditions.

Elium® resin grades overview: comparison between reactivity and viscosity
Fiber-reinforced Elium® resin parts can be thermoformed with heat and pressure. This process requires the heating of the consolidated part at 180 – 200°C for a few minutes, and the compression at a pressure between 5 and 20 bars depending on the reinforcement type and the thickness of the part.
Fiber-reinforced composites made with Elium® resins can be assembled with adhesives. The SAF® 30 adhesive,from AEC Polymers, is recommended for structural bonding. A cohesive rupture is obtained according to the EN-1465.To use the advantage of the thermoplastic behaviour of Elium® resin an assembly by welding is also possible. This process requires the heating of the two consolidated parts at 180 – 200°C for a few minutes, followed by compression till it solidifies again.
The Composite parts made out of Elium® resin can be recycled after End-of-life in two different ways. The first one would involve grinding and compounding to use as chopped fiber compounding resin and the second would be a thermolysis process which allows the recovery of fibers and the monomers by depolymerisation.
The shelf life of the Elium® resins in original sealed container is 6 months guaranteed at a temperature not higher than 25 °C.For further information we advise you to read carefully the current Safety Data Sheet or get in contact with your Arkema representative.
