Recyclable thermosetting epoxy resin (for hydrogen tank applications)

It can also be applied to hydrogen tank applications expected to grow in the future! Its use in the composite materials field is anticipated.

"EzCiclo" is a recyclable thermosetting epoxy resin that enables the recovery of fibers and oligomer resins from thermosetting resin products, which have traditionally been difficult to recycle. "CleaVER" is a decomposition solution that breaks down and re-resources EzCiclo, allowing for the establishment of an efficient recycling system by combining the two. By simply replacing conventional epoxy resins with EzCiclo, products can become recyclable, thereby reducing environmental impact without the need for special equipment modifications. 【Features】 ■ Achieves recycling of CFRP as a decomposable thermosetting resin (both fibers and resins can be reused) ■ No need for special new equipment; simply change conventional resins to EzCiclo epoxy resin ■ Reduces CO2 emissions upon disposal ■ The decomposition process using CleaVER is an environmentally friendly method with minimal environmental impact, as it does not generate harmful gases (such as SOx, NOx, etc.) compared to incineration. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.

basic information

【Case Studies and Achievements】 ■ Manufactured using EzCiclo RB240 in combination with carbon fiber equivalent to Toray T700, with no issues found in pressure cycle tests (0 to 875 bar, 200 cycles) and burst tests (2.25 times pressure). ■ Cycle durability confirmed under -40℃/560 bar conditions. ■ Excess materials generated during the process are decomposed by CleaVER, pelletized for reuse, and then injection molded into new products. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
