Surface Finishes

Crystic® Transfer Moulding Resin 785PA is apre-accelerated, DCPD based, polyester resin designed for use in RTM (Resin Transfer Molding). It has a lower styrene content than conventional RTM resins and can significantly reduce the occurrence of print through, to produce moldings with an enhanced surface finish.

Crestafire® P2-2001 is a DCPD modified, vinyl ester resin. It incorporates a selected grade of alumina trihydrate (ATH), which makes it suitable to produce laminates where excellent resin flow, fire retardancy, and low levels of smoke and toxic fumes are required. It is halogen free and does not contain heavy metals.

Crystic® Polyester Resin 272 is an isophthalic polyester resin. It is recommended for use in high-performance applications using filament winding, pultrusion, and centrifugal or contact molding processes. The fully cured laminates have high mechanical strength and excellent strength retention in wet environments at temperatures up to 60ºC.

Crystic® Polyester Resin 125PA is a quality orthophthalic-based unsaturated polyester resin developed specifically for the manufacture of GRP moldings. This medium-viscosity polyester resin meets the requirements of BS 3532:1990 as a type "A" resin and can be used for flat surface laminations. Laminates made with this product have good mechanical strength, high rigidity and impact resistance, and excellent dimensional stability. When used with the recommended curing system, its curing properties make it especially suitable for fast production processes.

Crystic® Polyester Resin 491PA is a pre-accelerated, thixotropic, isophthalic polyester resin with good water and chemical resistance properties. It is versatile and suitable for performance boat hulls destined for use in warm or tropical areas. This product is also suitable for the manufacture of chemical plants, tanks, pipes, and chemical containers. It has a 12-minute gel time.

Crystic® Thixotropic Resin LS 451PA is a pre-accelerated thixotropic resin. It is suitable for brush or spray application in the marine industry or general molding market. This product has reduced styrene emissions, typically 20 - 30% lower than conventional lower styrene resins. It has Lloyd's approval but is also suitable for use in building and construction, transportation, and industrial applications. This product has a 20-minute gel time.

Crystic® Thixotropic Resin VE676T is a thixotropic version of Crystic® VE676, an epoxy bisphenol A based vinyl ester resin. This product is suitable for hand lay-up, spray lay-up, and similar processes. Thixotropic additives provide applied material sag resistance to vertical surfaces. 

Crystic® High Performance Resin 3642.3 can be used by spray, filament winding, or hand layup. This resin can be used in many applications, but its high performance makes it particularly suitable for the production of oil tanks. Additionally, it can also be used for direct bonding on sanitary acrylic.

Crystic® Polyester Resin 406COS is a non-thixotropic, non-accelerated, orthophthalic unsaturated polyester resin used for casting, artificial marble, and solid surface applications. This product has a 5-minute gel time. It contains UV absorbers, allowing very good resistance to yellowing and UV radiation.
