Features & Benefits
- Materials Features
- Benefits
- Urethane Acrylate based
- Comparable FST performance of Crestapol® 1212
- Low Profile technology for esthetically
- demanding applications
- Pultrusion grade only
- Features
• High Reactivity - Offering the potential for high line speeds compared to other typical thermosetting resins.
• Mechanical Performance - The inherent “toughness” of the cured resin matrix results in profiles exhibiting excellent mechanical performance despite the presence of high levels of filler.
• Pigmentable - 1212 is pigmentable and fully compatible with polyester pigment pastes.
Applications & Uses
- Markets
- Composites Processing Methods
- Applications
- This resin should be allowed to attain workshop temperature before use. It requires the addition of a catalyst to start the curing reaction. Conventional pultrusion system catalysts can be used.
- The resin should be stirred well prior to use using a low shear mechanical stirrer.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Additives
Crestapol 1214 may be highly filled (in some cases up to 170 parts per resin) with a selected range of fillers. Users should seek advice from our Technical Services Department regarding any other additives. Different fillers can change the geltime characteristics and it is recommended that tests are carried out to assess performance.
- Notes
- * SPI gel test at 82 °C, 2 % Perkadox CH50X
- ** Pultruded bar tested to BS78612-1:2007
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
Crestapol 1214 can be supplied in 25Kg, 200Kg and 1 ton containers.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
Crestapol 1214 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 stored above 30°C. Ideally, containers should be opened immediately prior to use. Where they have to be stored outside, it is recommended that they be kept in a horizontal position to avoid the possible ingress of water.
