Technical Details & Test Data
- Curing
Crystic 125PA requires only the addition of catalyst to start the curing reaction. It should be thoroughly dispersed in the resin. The accelerated resin without catalyst will usually remain usable at ambient temperature (25°C) for approximately 3 months. Shortly before use, the correct amount of catalyst should be added and stirred thoroughly into the mixture. When catalyst is added to resin which has been accelerated for several days, the pot life may be shorter than that of freshly accelerated resin.
Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
- Crystic® 125PA is supplied in 225 kg steel containers. For the purpose of shipping, Crystic® 125PA is class 3.0 in the IMCO Code (Page 3153)
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 3 Months
- Storage
- It is recommended that storage temperatures should not exceed 25°C, and that containers should be stored away from direct sunlight and not be opened until they are required for use. The shelf life of the resin under these conditions is 3 months.
