NEOZANT™ Impacted with 130 ft-lbs

Toughened Epoxy Impacted with 15 ft-lbs

Thermal and Chemical Resistance

Wide Temperature Range

  • Increased temperatures above 120 degrees possible, and great performance in cryogenics

Low Water Adsorption

  • Enhances dimensional stability and longevity in wet environments

Chemical Resistance

  • Resistant to a broad range of solvents - Acids, Bases, and Halogens comparable to Fluoropolymers

Design Versatility

Paintability & Adhesion

  • Bonds well with coatings and paints;  Works well with in-mold coatings; Key advantage in automotive and aesthetic components. 

Thermoset Stability 

  • As a thermoset polymer, NEOZANT™ maintains form under stress and heat without softening; Low creep.

Permeability

  • Significantly outperforms conventional materials in dielectric loss, making it better for high-frequency applications. 

  • Substantially lighter - an advantage in aerospace applications where weight reduction improves range, fuel efficiency, and performance.

  • Excel in mechanical toughness and durability, making it ideal for ground radomes, UAVs, subsonic aircraft, and situations with debris/hail impact risk

  • Offers faster, lower-cost, and scalable production, making it attractive for commercial and mass-produced defense platforms.

Transmissability

NEOZANT™ surpasses epoxy and cyanate ester with lower dielectric loss, higher strength, lighter weight, and cost-effective production, making it ideal for advanced radome applications.

  • Superior Dielectric Performance

  • High Mechanical Strength

  • Lightweight Design

  • Optical Clarity

  • Cost-Effective Processing

Resin-only Processability

Low-Pressure Molding with NEOZANT™

NEOZANT™ is processed using Reaction Injection Molding (RIM), offering distinct advantages:

  • Lower Tooling Costs: Significantly reduced compared to traditional injection molding.

  • Complex Geometries: Enables large, thick-walled, and intricate part designs.

  • No Mold Pressure Required: Unlike urethane molding, NEOZANT™ eliminates the need for high-pressure molds, resulting in a significant reduction in CAPEX requirements.

  • Operator-Controlled Cure Times

  • Fast Cycle Times: Enables rapid production for high-volume manufacturing.

  • Large Part Production: Supports the creation of large-scale components with ease.

Composite Processability

  • Ability to produce thick wall composites with much improved resistance to delamination (toughness)

  • Ability to make high fiber volume composite (viscosity)

  • VARTM infuses in less than 10% of the time of normal epoxies (viscosity)

  • Material can be heat-formed like thermoplastics

  • Permeability is much better than other polymers
