- Medium cure speed hardener provides 2 to 3 hours of working time at at 77°F (25°C). A typical laminate will be gelled in about 4 to 5 hours.
- Optimized for hand wet out and machine impregnation in contact molding, vacuum bagging and Light RTM applications with a minimum cure temperature of 60°F (16°C).
- Room temperature cure properties suitable for many composite components and structures.
- Tg as high as 207°F (97°C) with proper post cure providing excellent temperature stability and great part cosmetics.

3 - Store PRO-SET® Epoxy resins and hardeners at room temperature in sealed containers until shortly before use. As with many high-performance epoxy resins, repeated exposure to low temperatures during storage may cause the resin to crystallize. If this occurs, warm the resin to 125° F and stir to dissolve crystals. Hardeners may form carbamation when exposed to CO2 and moisture in the atmosphere for extended periods of time. Prevent carbamation by protecting hardeners from exposure until immediately prior to processing.
