- Shipbuilding: Suitable for the manufacture of ship parts that require high strength and durability.
- Construction: Manufacturing and application of construction materials such as floor linings and waterproof linings.
- Performance data::
- liquid resin: It has a transparent yellow appearance with a viscosity between 4.0 - 6.0 dPa?s/25°C and a gel time between 22.0 - 32.0 minutes.
- Curing resins: High-strength bending and tensile properties with a heat deflection temperature of around 100°C, suitable for applications in high-temperature environments.
- Precautions for use::
- For industrial safety and health the presence of styrene needs to be noted and good ventilation and appropriate protective equipment should be worn.
- Store and handle away from heat or fire to avoid accidents.
- When using curing agents and accelerators care should be taken to mix them in the correct proportions and to avoid explosive reactions.
