The present invention relates to a self-adhesive article comprising a non-random fabric of bundles of carbon fibres and a thermosetting epoxy resin composition. The self-adhesive article exhibits high surface adhesion and excellent dimensional stability at room temperature. The self-adhesive article is ideally suited to reinforce structural components, particularly vehicles or ancillary vehicle components. The structural components reinforced by the self-adhesive article exhibit improved impact and torsional strength.

Article of thermosetting epoxy resin composition and carbon fibre fabric, and reinforced structural component made therewith

Compositions for damping the vibration of mechanical components, such as those used in vehicles, are disclosed and described. The compositions comprise a water-based polymer resin and a drying control agent. The drying control agent minimizes the occurrence of cracks and swelling in the damping coating films when the coating films are baked and dried.

Damping composition with improved bakability

A structural reinforcing material and method of making the same is disclosed and described. The material is prepared by coating glass reinforcing fibers with a molten epoxy-based composition. The glass fiber reinforced material can then be formed into a preform suitable for injection molding into an expandable sealing baffle.
