Raising expectations in infrastructure

Proxxima resin systems deliver advantages at multiple levels of the infrastructure value-chain. Low viscosity and quick cure enable redesign of complex parts for more efficient and scalable manufacturing.
Unique polymer properties enable parts (neat polymer or composites) that are lighter, stronger and more durable than steel and other thermosets, Proxxima resin systems are a game changer for infrastructure.

Proxxima resin systems’ attributes and value chain benefits

Low viscosity

High fiber wet-out, high processing speed without defects

Faster processing

Tunable viscosity and faster cure rates lead to higher output

Lighter than steel

Lower density, easy handling, lower transport cost

Tougher

Replacement of metal, outstanding impact resistance

Proxxima system-based glass fiber reinforced polymer rebar: Comparative LCA Study vs. Steel Rebar

Cradle-to-end-of-life carbon footprint of product (CFP) estimates for installed rebar in industrial applications show that Proxxima system-based glass fiber reinforced polymer (Proxxima GFRP) rebar has a potentially lower global warming potential (GWP) than installed steel rebar.

Neuvokas Corporation utilizes our Proxxima resin system to make GatorBar® Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar

Neuvokas Corporation, based in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, utilizes our Proxxima resin system to make GatorBar® Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) rebar. Tens of millions of meters of GatorBar® have been sold into the U.S. market. Repeat orders demonstrate the cost-effectiveness of this rebar and the appreciation for the lightweight and long-lasting nature of the product.

Processing flexibility

Proxxima resin systems are well-suited for integration into a wide range of composite manufacturing processes. They are fully compatible with:

RIM (Reaction Injection Molding)
RTM (Resin Transfer Molding)
VARTM (Vacuum-Assisted Resin Transfer Molding)
Pultrusion
Filament winding

This versatility allows manufacturers to leverage the advantages of Proxxima technology to create unique solutions for their businesses that unlock improved performance, faster cycle times, and greater design flexibility across infrastructure applications.
