There is a choice of three different hardeners.
Vinyl ester resin hardener ratio.
Vinylester is essentially a styrene modified epoxy resin.
Try to store the resin in a cool dry place or refrigerate do not freeze it to extend the life of the resin.
Resin has a short shelf life.
Epoxy resin should be used.
It wets out glass very quickly and has low viscosity.
It is a solution of methyl ethyl ketone peroxides and cumyl hydroperoxide in phlegmatizer.
It can withstand repeated bending better than both polyester and epoxy resin.
An mekp catalyst is mixed with polyester vinyl ester resin in a very low ratio just a few drops of catalyst per ounce of resin.
Epoxy resin uses a hardener and polyester vinyl ester resins use a catalyst usually mekp methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.
Vinyl ester resin cures with a tack.
Mekp is also used with gel coats.
One gallon of polyester resin weighs approximately 9 2 lbs.
The speed of hardener chosen depends on the temperature in the.
The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin is mekp methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.
Cloth and polyester resin.
To cover wood a laminate using epoxy resin and 10 oz cloth will yield a much better job than 10 oz.
It can be used for corrosion fda applications smc repairs and even resin infusion.
Epoxy adheres to wood much better than polyester does.
It is meant for a room temperature cure.
Catalyst chart for polyester resin gel coat and vinyl ester marine resins.
Cc cubic centimeter.
Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide mekp is an organic peroxide used in the marine industry.
Regarding costs vinyl ester resin is more expensive than polyester resin but cheaper than epoxy resin.
So if you need vinylester and you have a vertical surface you might consider the reichhold hydrex 100 products.
Our epoxy resins come in either a 2 1 or 4 1 mixing ratio.
Vinyl ester has a shelf life of 3 months.
One gallon of gelcoat weighs approximately 10 5 lbs.
It has a measured glass transition temperature t g of 110 c hence allowing the clamp to withstand up to a maximum service temperature of 80 c.
The styrene in the polyester or vinyl ester resin will melt it.
Oz fluid ounce.
It adds excellent strength rigidity adhesion water and chemical resistance.
Mekp is the catalyst hardener needed to cure polyester and vinyl ester resins.
Hetron 922 l25 vinylesterhetron 922 l25 vinylesterashland s hetron 922 l25 is an incredibly versatile resin.
Vinyl ester resin is selected due to its well known performance in marine conditions and good chemical resistance to a wide range of chemicals including sour crude up to 100 c.
The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin and polyester.
You can vary the cure time for polyester vinyl ester resins by reducing or increasing the.
Catalyze 1 5 get a pint for a.
Ve resin is a tougher resin because of its longer molecular chains.
When using vinyl ester resin be sure to use it quickly after purchasing.
Fast medium and slow.
It is the same catalyst used with polyester resins.
