Product details
The general purpose polyester resin is a quick curing unsaturated polyester resin based on Orthophthalic raw material for laminating purpose. It is un-accelerated. Suitable for both hand lay up and gun spray up. The resin offers excellent mechanical properties, impact and water resistance. The glassfibre laminate made with this resin has excellent mechanical strength, good rigidity and outstanding durability. Typical Applications ( General Purpose Resin ): Automobile Components Flower pot Sports Equipments Safety Helmet Dust Bin Water Tank Garden Furniture Bath Tub Container Panels Machine Cover Statues Addition Chemical Needed * Using Accelerator, Co (2%) 1 ml, Catalyst, MEKP1.5ml, the gel time, cure time and Peak Exotherm measured. Usage: The general purpose polyster resins performs best if the laminate is completely post cured. The quantity of catalyst and accelerator can be adjusted to get a shorter or longer gel time. The accelerator must be completely mixed before catalyst is added in order to avoid a direct blending which may cause an explosion. Post Curing: It is recommended to mature the products for 24 hours and post curing should be done for minimum of three hours at 800C, or 2-3 weeks at room temperature. This is essential for getting the optimum properties. Storage / Handling: The polyester resin remains stable for 3 months at 300C in the dark and 4 months at 250C. The resin stability deteriorates markedly at elevated temperature, especially when exposed to direct sunlight. espol 12.00 has a flash point of 340C and is classified as flammable. "NO SMOKING " rules should be strictly followed. In case of spillage, use sand or earth to absorb and shovel off for disposal as per local regulations, In case of fire, use dry chemical foam, Carbon dioxide or water spray to extinguish the flame. * Summer Winter [TM - Test Method as per ISO-9001-2000-DOC-REV-03]
