Epoxy resin is a kind of polymer material with high performance. It is a two-component system composed of epoxy group and amine group, which forms polymer compound by mixing and reaction. It has strong adhesive force, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, electrical insulation and mechanical strength, and is widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, construction, electronics, ships and other fields.

The joint venture will produce auto parts made of carbon fiber reinforced plastics from 2012 onwards. Toray and Daimler own 50.1% and 49.9% of the joint venture company respectively, which is located in Esslingen, Germany.
Carbon fiber is lighter and more expensive than steel and aluminum. At present, most of the carbon fiber products are used in the top racing, sports cars and aerospace industries.
However, with the increasingly stringent automobile exhaust emission standards and the rise of electric vehicles, luxury car manufacturers are looking for ways to mass-produce carbon fiber products to reduce vehicle weight.
Last year, Daimler’s competitor BMW and SGL established a joint venture to produce carbon fiber materials.
The preparation process of epoxy resin is to mix epoxy resin monomer and amine Curing Agent in a certain proportion, and react at a certain temperature to form a polymer compound. Epoxy resins with different properties can be obtained by changing the type of monomer, the type and proportion of curing agent.
The advantage of epoxy resin is that its properties can be adjusted according to needs, and materials with high strength, high stiffness, high toughness, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and other characteristics can be prepared. Because of its excellent properties, epoxy resins are widely used in various fields. For example, in the aerospace field, epoxy resins are used in the manufacture of aircraft and rocket structural parts, composites, coatings and adhesives; In the automotive field, epoxy resins are used in the production of automobile body and engine parts; In the field of construction, epoxy resins are used in coatings, floors, waterproof materials and so on.
In addition, carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites are also one of the most widely used epoxy resin products at present. Carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin composites have the advantages of high strength, high modulus and low density, and are widely used in aviation, aerospace, automobile, sporting goods and other fields.
In general, epoxy resin is a high-performance material with a wide range of application prospects, and its properties can be adjusted according to needs, and it is widely used in various fields.
Toray and Daimler form a joint venture to produce carbon fiber parts
Toray Industries of Japan recently established a joint venture with Daimler to produce carbon fiber automotive parts.
