Process Operation Guide
Palapreg? EL-901 is typically used in conjunction with Palapreg? P 18-03 for the production of low shrinkage molding compounds. In general, the ratio of Palapreg? P 18-03 to Palapreg? EL-901 is 50:50, but can be adjusted according to the actual situation. Molding conditions are 140~160oC and 50~100kg/cm2 Depending on the dimensional requirements of the final product, 300ppm~600ppm p-benzoquinone can be added to the formulation (based on the total amount of resin and low shrinkage additive).
