Our epoxy resins come in either a 2 1 or 4 1 mixing ratio.
Vinyl ester resin hardener ratio.
It wets out glass very quickly and has low viscosity.
So if you need vinylester and you have a vertical surface you might consider the reichhold hydrex 100 products.
The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin is mekp methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.
The styrene in the polyester or vinyl ester resin will melt it.
You can vary the cure time for polyester vinyl ester resins by reducing or increasing the.
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.
Oz fluid ounce.
Fast medium and slow.
It can be used for corrosion fda applications smc repairs and even resin infusion.
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.
To cover wood a laminate using epoxy resin and 10 oz cloth will yield a much better job than 10 oz.
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.
Vinylester is essentially a styrene modified epoxy resin.
The weight of mekp 925 is 1 125 grams per cc.
Epoxy resin should be used.
It adds excellent strength rigidity adhesion water and chemical resistance.
Mekp is the catalyst hardener needed to cure polyester and vinyl ester resins.
One gallon of gelcoat weighs approximately 10 5 lbs.
There is a choice of three different hardeners.
Catalyze 1 5 get a pint for a.
It is a solution of methyl ethyl ketone peroxides and cumyl hydroperoxide in phlegmatizer.
Vinyl ester has a shelf life of 3 months.
Methyl ethyl ketone peroxide mekp is an organic peroxide used in the marine industry.
Using drops for catalyst measurement is only an estimate.
Vinyl ester resin cures with a tack.
It can withstand repeated bending better than both polyester and epoxy resin.
When using vinyl ester resin be sure to use it quickly after purchasing.
30 drops is approximately equal to one cc.
Catalyst chart for polyester resin gel coat and vinyl ester marine resins.
It is the same catalyst used with polyester resins.
Epoxy adheres to wood much better than polyester does.
Resin has a short shelf life.
Mekp is also used with gel coats.
Cloth and polyester resin.
Regarding costs vinyl ester resin is more expensive than polyester resin but cheaper than epoxy resin.
One gallon of polyester resin weighs approximately 9 2 lbs.
It is meant for a room temperature cure.
Cc cubic centimeter.
Try to store the resin in a cool dry place or refrigerate do not freeze it to extend the life of the resin.
Ve resin is a tougher resin because of its longer molecular chains.
The hardener catalyst for vinyl ester resin and polyester.
