Instructions for use and precautions
- Brylon A 400-972 resin does not contain accelerator, cobalt accelerator should be added when using, the amount of 0.5~2.0% (1% concentration).
- The curing agent can be MEKP in the amount of 1.0~2.5%. It should be ensured that the curing agent is within the validity period.
- The resin contains no wax.
- In order to ensure that FRP products made from A 400-972 have the desired design strength and chemical resistance, they must be adequately post-cured: 3 to 4 hours at 80°C.
