Formulation Guidelines

Crestamould® VE 679PA must be thoroughly stirred and allowed to attain workshop temperature (18°C - 20°C ) before use. It needs only the addition of a catalyst to start the curing reaction. Either Butanox LPT or Butanox M50 catalyst can be used, which should be added at 2% into the resin.

Additives:

The addition of pigment, fillers or other additives may adversely affect the resin properties.
