Abstract Arxada’s materials for composite applications
Primaset® Cyanate Esters are a novel class of high-performance thermoset resins. They are
characterized by glass temperatures up to 400°C (800°F), very good dielectric and mechanical
properties and an epoxy like processing. Areas of use are electronics (as low dielectric matrix resin
in copper-clad laminates CCL and IC substrates), aerospace (matrix resin in composites for
commercial and defense applications), space (matrix resin in composites, adhesives and
syntactics), automotive and industrial composites and compounds. Primaset® Cyanate Esters are
available as monomers, oligomers and prepolymers to cover a broad range of available viscosities
for diƯerent composite technologies (like prepreg, RTM, filament winding, pultrusion etc.).
Primacure® alkylated, aromatic diamines are high quality components utilized as chain extenders or
as curatives. Primacure® products are easy to combine together with polyurea, polyurethane or
epoxy resins. They oƯer beneficial mechanical performance and chemical resistance at a low level
of toxicity resulting in less worker risk in industrial settings As epoxy hardeners they provide improved
use temperatures, moisture absorption and impact resistance.
