Usage Instructions
- Preparation: Ensure the resin is at workshop temperature (18°C - 20°C) before use.
- Catalyst Addition: Add the recommended catalyst (typically MEKP50) at 2% and mix thoroughly.
- Application: Suitable for various moulding processes, including injection moulding, RTM, and vacuum infusion. Ensure proper ventilation during use due to styrene content.
- Post Curing: For optimal properties, fully cure the resin by following the recommended curing cycle.
Storage and Handling
- Storage Conditions: Store in the shade, away from direct sunlight, in a sealed container. Keep the storage temperature below 25°C.
- Handling Precautions: Always read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use and use appropriate personal protective equipment. Ensure good ventilation in the working area.
