A two-component curable epoxy resin system including a dye solution. The resin system includes an epoxy resin component containing at least 80% by weight of a polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol. The system also includes a hardener mixture containing mainly polyethylene tetraamines. The system includes triethylene diamine in specific amounts as a catalyst. The system has beneficial curing characteristics with desired color that make it useful for producing fiber-reinforced composites in a resin transfer molding process.

Epoxy resin system for making carbon fiber composites

A two-component curable epoxy resin system is disclosed. The resin system includes an epoxy resin component containing at least 80% by weight of a polyglycidyl ether of a polyphenol. The system also includes a hardener mixture containing mainly polyethylene tetraamines. The system includes one or more of i) alkali metal salts, ii) carboxylic acid-, carboxylic anhydride- or carboxylic acid ester-substituted phenol compounds, iii) an amino as a catalyst. The system has beneficial curing characteristics that make it useful for producing fiber-reinforced composites in a resin transfer molding process.

Epoxy resin system containing polyethylene tetraamines for resin transfer molding processes

The invention is directed at new process and systems for preparing composite materials that include a polymer phase and a fiber phase.

A method for making an automobile assembly having a moulded plastics structural member and a reinforcing member in which a polymerizable adhesive is employed to bond the two members together and an automobile assembly having a bonded structural member and a reinforcing member. The assembly is suitably used as a 'front end carrier' or a bumper system in an automobile.

Automobile assembly

A method is provided for making an automobile assembly having a molded plastics structural member and a reinforcing member in which a polymerisable adhesive is employed to bond the two members together and an automobile assembly having a bonded structural member and a reinforcing member. The assembly is suitably used as a 'front end carrier' or a bumper system in an automobile.

An energy absorbing unit for use as a vehicle bumper having an upper zone and a lower zone wherein the upper zone comprises an inner relatively high density foam material for protecting a structural part of the vehicle by absorbing energy in a direction generally longitudinal of the vehicle and an outer relatively low density foam material for providing protection against impact for a body by absorbing energy during impact. The lower zone includes a foam material having a density intermediate that of the foam materials in the inner and outer areas of the upper zone.
