Epoxy clear resin Chimepox 1652

The epoxy resin is suitable for casting thick highly transparent layers (up to 4-5cm). It is suitable for non-yellowing, transparent or pigmented decorative and industrial coatings. Spreading rate for 1mm thick layer is ~1,15 kg/m2.

To avoid any problems when using the resin, please follow the following recomendations from us:

1.    The ambient temperature and the temperature of substrate should be below 25 C
2.    A precoat in order to fill the gap and avoid air bubble is recommended to be applied in a thin layer 
3.    If a thickness of 5 cm is needed we recommend this to be done in two separate layers  2,5 cm each and when the first one is cured  then to applied the second one.
 

Characteristics

Component 1 – modified, non-crystallizing epoxy resin based on bisphenol A and F 

Component 2 – The hardener is modified aliphatic polyamine. Free from alkyl phenols and benzyl alcohol

Packing

Two components are packed separately. The epoxy resin and the hardener.

The epoxy resin is packed in plastic or metal buckets of 18L or other suitable for the customer packs. The resin must be stored in sealed containers in temperature intervals of 10°C -30°C. Keep from freezing.


Safety data: Check MSDS

Packing

The hardener is packed in plastic or metal buckets of 18L or in other suitable for the customer packs. The resin must be stored in sealed containers in temperature intervals of 10°C -30°C. Keep from freezing.

 

System Properties:

Glass transition temperature of the resin and hardener is 56°C

Min. curing temperature 16°C

Pot life: 240 min at 23°C

The gel time is approximately twice the value specified.

 

Problems with the resin might occur if: the mixed system in the mold is standing in sunlight, the temperature in the room is too warm, the material itself is too warm because it stands in the sunlight , the customer uses wooden forms (Wood is a very good thermal insulator for temperature and the full power of exothermic which is coming from the binder material can’t go away). So please avoid all these in order to avoid getting problems when working with this resin. 

Chimatech can’t do every possible test in the lab which the customer has in mind during the development phase and afterward in the application test lab.
