In conclusion the following should be remembered: 1. The new epoxy has all the attributes of a traditional epoxy but with extended shelf and barrel life. 2. The new epoxy is a carrier for fillers and can have a wide variety of properties depending on the resin / filler combination chosen. 3. The new epoxy's chemical resistance, though not yet fully tested, appears to be second to none. 4. Electrical costs are considerably lower than engineering thermoplastics. 5. Material costs are competitive to superior to engineering thermoplastics. 6. The material has been designed from the first to accommodate recycling. 7. It has a lower Coefficient of linear thermal expansion 150° above its' Tg than polyetherimide does in its' normal operating range. One final word, we can't make it flexible or make it melt.
