Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Composites Processing Methods
- Produt Application
Crestafire® P1-2002PA is suitable for spray and hand lamination techniques.
- Before Use - Crestafire® P1-2002PA should be allowed to attain workshop temperature (18°C - 20°C) before use. It requires only the addition of a catalyst to start the curing reaction. The recommended catalyst is MEKP (50%), which should be added at 1% - 2% into the resin. The catalyst should be thoroughly incorporated into the resin, using a low shear mechanical stirrer where possible.
- Additives - The addition of fillers or pigment pastes can adversely affect the properties of the cured laminate.
- Post curing - Satisfactory laminates for many applications can be made from Crestafire® P1-2002PA by curing at workshop temperature (20°C). For optimum properties, however, laminates should be post-cured before being put into service. The laminate should be allowed to cure for 24 hours at 20°C, and then be oven cured for 16 hours at 40°C or 3 hours at 80°C.
