CYCOM 977-6 is the industry benchmark for tough lower temperature curing modified epoxy resins. It is a versatile curing toughened epoxy resin which can be cured from 135ºC to 177ºC, depending on service temperature requirements. Following a 177ºC cure, 977-6 has a 138ºC dry and a 104ºC wet service temperature. CYCOM 977-6 is formulated for lower temperature autoclave or press mould processing.

Typical applications for CYCOM 977-6 include high performance automotive, aircraft primary and secondary structure, space structure, and any application where impact resistance and lightweight as well as versatile cure conditions are required.
