- Responsibility - It’s the responsibility of the molder to ensure that the moldings are passing pass the requested fire classification,
- Gel Time - The ambient temperature and the amount, and type, of accelerator control gel time of resin formulations. At 25°C the gel time of CRYSTIC FR1166 PAK containing 2,0 % of catalyst M is about 14 minutes.
- Additives - Since certain pigments, fillers or extra stirene may affect the properties of CRYSTIC FR1166 PAK their effect should be evaluated before addition to the formulation.
- Post-Curing - Post curing is recommended in order to develop the heat deflection temperature, dimensional stability and optimum mechanical and fire retardant properties.
Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Composites Processing Methods
- Applications
CRYSTIC FR1166 PAK has been designed to be used by spray application or by contact molding. Its fire resistance and low smoke properties enable the product to be used in demanding applications such as building, public transport and railways.
- Formulation Guidelines
CRYSTIC FR1166 PAK should be allowed to attain workshop temperature. The following cold curing formulation is recommended:
Crystic FR1166 PAK 100 parts Catalyst M 1 to 2 parts Catalyst M is a Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxyde at 50% such as the Butanox M50 from AKZO, or equivalent.
- Trial before use
It is recommended to try the product on a small scale production before the resin is used for long runs.

Packaging & Availability
- Packaging Type
- Packaging
CRYSTIC FR1166 PAK is supplied in 250 kg top opened drums, 1100 kg IBC.
Storage & Handling
- Storage
CRYSTIC FR1166 PAK should be stored under cover in the dark in the container in which it is supplied. Recommended storage temperature is 10-25°C, and should not exceed 28°C. Storing the resin above 28°C will modify the properties °F the product and will shorten the shelf life. If stored outside, keep horizontal to avoid water ingress. The product must be gently remixed before use, with mechanical device.
