Frequently Asked Questions

What types of epoxy systems does PRO-SET supply for aerospace applications?

PRO-SET supplies a full range of aerospace-grade epoxy systems including laminating epoxies for hand layup and wet-bagging, infusion epoxies for vacuum-assisted resin infusion (VARI/VARTM), toughened structural adhesives for composite bonding, high-temperature epoxy systems for tooling and elevated-cure parts, and fire-retardant epoxy resins for applications requiring compliance with EASA or European defence flammability standards.

Is PRO-SET epoxy certified or approved for aviation and aerospace use?

PRO-SET is an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer. Our facility operates a state-of-the-art in-house laboratory that performs mechanical, thermal, and chemical testing on every batch before shipment. We have supplied qualified epoxy resin systems to Tier 1 commercial aviation suppliers, private aerospace programmes, and both European and US defence contractors. Full lot certification and traceability documentation are available.

Can PRO-SET develop a custom epoxy formulation for our specific aerospace programme?

Yes. PRO-SET offers custom formulation services for programmes requiring proprietary resin systems, non-standard cure schedules, or performance properties outside our standard product range. Our chemists work directly with your engineering team to develop and test formulations against your specification. Past custom work includes European defence programme fire-retardant systems, toughened structural adhesives, and hypersonic platform laminates.

What epoxy systems are recommended for carbon fibre composite aircraft structures?

For carbon fibre composite aircraft structures, PRO-SET recommends our laminating epoxy systems for hand layup processes, or our infusion epoxy systems for closed-mould VARI/VARTM fabrication. For secondary bonding of cured composite parts, our assembly adhesive epoxy systems provide toughened, high-peel-strength bonds. Contact us for a technical consultation to identify the best system for your specific layup schedule, fibre architecture, and cure environment.

Does PRO-SET supply epoxy systems for European defence and military programmes?

Yes. PRO-SET has direct experience supplying European defence contractors, including providing epoxy resin systems for offensive drone construction programmes. We also supply US Naval and military programmes, giving us broad experience navigating the material qualification, testing, and documentation requirements of both European and NATO defence procurement. We can provide testing services, process documentation, and materials specifications as part of our supply.

Is PRO-SET epoxy available in Europe?

Yes. It is manufactured and marketed throughout Europe by Wessex Resins & Adhesives, based in Romsey, England, in partnership, and is available throughout Europe via our global distributor network.
