Product Data Sheet

Product designation

RM-3000 BMI RTM Resin

Brand nameRenegade™

Product key

240001Resin type

Bismaleimide

OriginUSA

Developed using state-of-art formulating technologies, RM-3000 BMI RTM Resin delivers superior hot/wet
performance in airframe, missile and propulsion applications at service temperatures up to 232 °C. It delivers
improved damage tolerance at higher temperatures vs. industry-standard BMI resins. RM-3000 resin can beinjected into a variety of 2-D woven as well as braid and other complex 3-D engineered preforms. This resin
can be used as a tackifier with the addition of solvent.

Product Data Sheet

Tackifier options
Liquid tackifier: With resin in a liquid state, add two parts by weight of acetone to one part weight ofRM-3000 resin. Spray or brush on tackifier as needed. Use within 7 days.
Infusion temperature and cure cycle•••••••

It is recommended that the user melt the resin at 71 °C before transferring to a holding reservoir.
The holding reservoir temperature should be maintained at 93 °C.
The mold or tool temperature (prior to injecting resin) should be at 121-135 °C to maximize fiber
wet-out.
Evacuate the mold prior to resin injection.
All lines and vents must be heated to prevent the resin from solidifying upon cooling.
Cure temperature is 190 °C for 6 hours.
Free standing post cure can be performed at 227-246 °C for 6 hours.

Storage conditions and shelf life
Storage life is dependent upon storage temperature. Keep container sealed tightly when not in use. To limit
moisture pick-up, allow the container to reach room temperature prior to opening.
Storage conditions:••

At or below -12 °C (10 °F) in a sealed container: 12 months from date of shipment
Room temperature (24 °C ± 12°C), storage in a sealed container: 1 month

Packaging and product form
The resin is filled in steel buckets. Each bucket has a volume of 5 gallons and contains 13.8 kg.
The product will be shipped below -18°C. The resin form is “chunks” of various sizes that can be removed
from the bucket without heating the whole bucket.
Delivery
The resin can be delivered by sea or air freight. Air freight is delivered with dry ice.
General Information••••

All data shown are typical values representative of the material and cannot be guaranteed. Properties
may vary depending on samples preparation and test methods.
For each shipment an inspection certificate is generated and supplied.
A detailed customer specification is arranged on request.
The export or transfer of resin can be subject to authorization, depending on end-use and finaldestination.
