OUR SOLUTIONS COMBAT COLD WEATHER DILEMMAS
Curing epoxy, resin, or composites in cold weather presents significant challenges. Low temperatures can slow down the curing process, causing delays, uneven hardening, and even incomplete curing, which can compromise the strength and durability of the final product. Without proper resin and epoxy heating solutions, manufacturers may struggle to maintain consistent results, leading to wasted time and materials. Powerblanket’s heating solutions ensure efficient and reliable curing even in cold environments, helping you overcome these common struggles.

GOLD COAST YACHTS
EPOXY CURING DILEMMA
Any business that deals with epoxy curing knows how time-consuming and expensive the process can be. Curing epoxy resins with Powerblanket is easy and efficient.
In June of 2014, Gold Coast Yachts President, Richard A. Difede, grew increasingly concerned about the cost and time it took for their post-curing of large carbon-fiber joints on the yachts the company produced. The epoxy joints needed to cure at 145° F for an extended period of time, and the procedure Gold Coast used took too much time and money.
ROCK WEST Composites CURING SOLUTION
Rock West Composites needed a custom curing solution because their overhead infrared heating lamps were not providing the consistent, even heat required for successful curing. Powerblanket created a solution.
HOW EPOXY CURES
Curing epoxy resins with Powerblanket is easy and efficient! Most epoxy resin and hardener combinations require heat in order to cure since ambient temperatures are not high enough. If the epoxy resins are not heated correctly, the chemical, mechanical and heat resistance properties become compromised. In fact, some epoxy resins require heating in steps to prevent overheating from exothermic reactions.
Proper Heating During Curing Avoids:
- Discoloration/Yellowing
- Color Variation
- Blushing
- Uneven Glossca
- Poor Inter-Coat Adhesion
