Exothermic partners with Materia to offer the benefits of Proxima® thermoset resins
Proxima® is a registered trademark of Materia, Inc.
Our expertise with advanced materials makes Exothermic Molding the smartest resource for manufacturers seeking greater performance compared to traditional resins like polyurethane, polyester, epoxy, or vinyl.
Why are Proxima parts molded by Exothermic?
Exothermic’s parts and assemblies molded with Proxima thermosets deliver the outstanding characteristics that companies need to address their advanced material needs.
Exceptional Toughness. For long lasting parts with predictable life cycles, Proxima delivers high impact strength and resistance to crack propagation.
Lightweight. Densities near 1 g/cm3 are 10-15% lighter than comparable thermoset resins.
Excellent Hot/Wet Properties. Extremely low water absorption of polyolefins combined with the thermal stability of thermosets.
Low Carbon Footprint. Cradle-to-grave emissions 47% lower than standard epoxy resins.
Low Viscosity Resins. Quick molding of complex shapes, high filler loadings, and low void content.
