THERMOSETS

MASTERBATCHES

Graphene-based lightweight composite materials could be key to the next generation of electric vehicles

Graphene-based composite materials with epoxy resins allow the introduction into the market of composite materials with higher performance or composite materials with a reduced weight with unchanged performance. A lighter composite material reduces fuel consumption and emissions with a significant carbon footprint reduction.

Main Advantages of GUP^® for Thermosets

Enhanced Strength

GUP^® integration increases the tensile and flexural strength of the composite, leading to a more robust material and making the composite less brittle

Thermal Stability

the presence of graphene enhances the thermal decomposition temperature of the resin, offering increased longevity under high-temperature conditions

Improved Elasticity

graphene can boost the elasticity of the composite matetials, making them more flexible and resistant to deformation

Thermal Conductivity

GUP^®‘s excellent thermal conductivity facilitates quicker heat dissipation throughout the composite material, critical in high-temperature applications

Durability

the addition of graphene into resins creates a harder surface, reducing wear and tear and increasing the lifespan of the material

Chemical Resistance

GUP^®acts as a barrier against chemical penetration, improving the composite’s resistance to corrosion and other forms of chemical degradation

Lightweight Materials

the high strength-to-weight ratio of GUP^® allows for lighter and stronger thermoplastics, contributing to material efficiency and environmental sustainability
