Application Guideline:

Nanomer I.28E is designed for use as additive in general thermoset resins, e.g., epoxy, polyurethane and unsaturated polyester, vinyl esters. Incorporation of Nanomer nanoclay into thermoset resin improves physical performance properties and flame resistance. Detailed information can be found in Nanocor technical datasheets, T12, T14 and T17. The loading level is commonly in the range of 4-6 wt% for physical property enhancement.

Nanomer I.28E can also be used in themoplastic resin to enhance flame resistance. It is necessary to combine Nanomer with regular flame retardant to achieve relevant UL or similar regulatory standards. It is possible to reduce the traditional flame retardants to reduce toxicity, specific gravity and enhance processing capability.
