Application Details

This grade is especially designed for economical manufacturing of flame retardant technical articles/parts by Liquid Injection Molding process.

Processing

The A and B components are delivered ready to use in 25 kg pail and 250 kg drum kits. With adequate metering equipment, they can be pumped directly from the original containers into the injection molding machine and mixed by a static mixer. The mixing ratio is 1 : 1. At room temperature, mixtures of A and B components have a pot life of at least three days.
