As an innovative formulator Axson Technologies is keen to customized systems and formulations tomeet composites market requirements in different industries, in addition to the traditional EPOLAMEPOXY range, we are working in formulations based on a new PU for RTM process, supportingmass production applications combining short cycle times and high mechanical performances.Axson Technologies formulates EP systems with dispersed Nano particles/additives to enhancedurability properties for composites like: toughness, impact resistance, ... without compromising thethermo-mechanical properties.Axson Technologies is committed to supporting the growing demand for a lower carbon footprint,CO2 reduction and the rise of greener systems by developing few formulations in this area.

MASTER MODEL/PLUG

Extrudable pastes, machinableboards Epoxy & PU boardsLaminating pastes/putties

This initial step consists of producing themost accurate master model in anydimension and any shape. AXSONhas developed several methods toachieve this step due to new millingfacilities and Cad Cam software.

COMPANY SUMMARYAxson Technologies has been formulating tailor-madepolyurethane and epoxy systems for the past 70 years for avariety of highly demanding markets on a worldwide basis.Today, Axson offers high end value composite resins inautomotive, aerospace, marine, general industry and wind millindustries. Axson Technologies maintain a cohesive andcompetitive advantage from plugs to parts through its globalnetwork of 12 direct subsidiaries, 6 manufacturing sites, R&Dcenters and more than 50 exclusive dealers.

MOULD MAKING

High temperature epoxy resins GelcoatsWoven and multiaxial fabricsHoneycomb panelsPrepregs

Fundamental phase, where exact mouldproduction produces exact replicationquality and repeatability under vacuum,pressure and temperature for allprocesses.- Infusion and wet lay-up hightemperature systems

- Low curing temperature/high end useprepregs

PART PRODUCTION

Epoxy systems solutions featuring:- High temperature resistance- Germanischer Lloyd's and LloydsRegister approvals

- Self extinguishing properties- Compliancy with wet lay up, infusion, RTM, pultrusion and filament winding processes

This final step produces what is visibleand used generally in severeenvironment applications - wind, heat,shock and/or exposure to chemicals...

Axson Technologies resins can be segmented into the following groups:

MOULD MAKINGMoulds are an essential part of the composite program as once built they produce several parts. Therefore,the choice of components for the composite tools has to be precise in order to achieve best dimensionalstability, shape, processing, size and pattern. Axson Technologies has developed over the years a comprehensive range of epoxy systems allowing theproduction of stable, accurate and long lasting tools. Axson Technologies has also developed renownedskills in various processes such as vacuum assisted infusion and tooling prepregs.
