Proxxima polyolefin thermoset resin systems
ExxonMobil is creating new possibilities with its revolutionary Proxxima polyolefin thermoset resin systems. These 2-part resin systems can create value in composites, coatings, and neat molded polymer applications. Proxxima resin systems deliver process improvements that scale, product properties that outcompete traditional materials, and sustainability benefits across markets.
How Proxxima systems work
- Proxxima polyolefin thermoset resin systems are comprised of a liquid resin formulation plus a catalyst formulation
- Properties tuned to the application by the resin formulation
- Processing needs determine selection of catalyst speed
- High-performance alternative to traditional choices, such as epoxy, polyurethane, vinyl ester and polyester
Unique properties enable multi-level advantages
Benefits of Proxxima thermoset resin systems
