- Compatible Polymers & Resins
- Plastics & Elastomers Processing Methods
- Recommended Uses
For pultrusion of polyester, vinyl ester, and hybrid resin systems including acrylate and urethane modified resins. Especially suitable for hybrid resins, including Modar® and for systems which incorporate high loadings of fillers, particularly ATH.
- Application Method
For best results, laboratory tests or pre-production trials should determine the optimum addition level. Typical addition level in polyester or vinyl pultrusion is 10-15 parts/1000 by weight (1% - 1.5%)by resin weight (excluding fillers), although small or simple profiles geometry may be achieved with lower addition. High amounts of filler and/or hybrid resin systems may require higher addition levels (30 parts/1000 or 3%.
Mixing:
For two-part thermoset resins, mix the process aid additive in the less viscous or less reactive side of the resin system. Add prior to the addition of any catalysts.
