REVENIX® SOLUTIONS
Innovating for circularity
Revenix® is a thermoset-based resin technology that gives fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) the ability to regenerate after damage. By locally activating the embedded repair mechanism, cracks and delaminations can be restored in around one minute at temperatures between 100°C and 150°C.
Revenix® is compatible with autoclave, out-of-autoclave and press curing, as well as a range of composite manufacturing processes. CompPair continuously develops new Revenix® solutions to extend the technology to new materials, manufacturing processes and composite applications.
Notre Expertise

Comme le montre le graphique ci-dessus, les performances des composites HealTech™, en réponse aux contraintes et aux déformations, sont supérieures à celles des composites de référence. Alors que les composites endommagés présentent un module et une résistance réduits par rapport à un échantillon vierge, les composites HealTech™ réparés retrouvent leurs propriétés mécaniques initiales.
