- Formulation Guidelines
- This resin should be allowed to attain workshop temperature before use. It requires the addition of a catalyst and two accelerators (one in the partially pre-accelerated grade) to start the curing reaction.
- N.B.Catalyst and accelerators should not be mixed directly together, since they react with explosive violence.
The recommended catalyst is Trigonox 44B and the recommended accelerators are Accelerator G and dimethyl aniline (DMA). Please note DMA may not be required with Crestapol 1210A. The geltimes that can be achieved depend on the levels of accelerators and catalyst. Examples are shown in the tables below.
- Formulation Guidelines
Crestapol® 1210A Urethane Acrylate Resin are supplied in 25 kg, 200 kg and 1 ton containers.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Post Curing
- Without post cure, Crestapol 1210 and 1210A reach approximately 94% of their total cure. Therefore, no post cure is required.
- Additives
- Crestapol 1210 and Crestapol 1210A may be filled with a variety of fillers, such as calcium carbonate or alumina trihydrate, with a particle size of less than 5μ.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
- Crestapol 1210 and Crestapol 1210A are supplied in 25Kg, 200Kg and 1 ton containers.
- Packaging Information
Crestapol® 1210A Urethane Acrylate Resin are supplied in 25 kg, 200 kg and 1 tonne containers.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- min. 6 Months (in dark, at 20°C)
- Storage
- Crestapol 1210 and Crestapol 1210A should be stored in the dark in suitable closed containers. It is recommended that the storage temperature should be less than 20°C where practical, but should not be above 30°C. Ideally, containers should be opened immediately prior to use. Where they have to be stored outside, it is recommended that containers be kept in a horizontal position to avoid the possible ingress of water.
