Resin P296 - High Performance Resin

Product Description:

Characteristics and applications of  Resin P296

Styrene and methyl methacrylate unsaturated polyester resin, suitable for hand lay-up, exhibiting very good fire behaviour.The self-extinguishing LERPOL RS10 FRN resin has been specially designed for applications in the naval sector; laminates produced with this resin have passed the test aiming to determine the limited flame propagation, according to IMO Res. MSC 61(67) Annex 1 Part 5, and the combustion fumes specific optical density test, according to IMO Res. MSC 61(67) Annex 1 Part 2.The characteristics of LERPOL RS10 FRN resin, make it suitable for the manufacture of products which must exhibit good mechanical properties and very good fire behaviour. As a reinforcement, we recommend the use of high filament diameter CS MAT (like MAT M123 OCV Reinforcements) and, for the expulsion of air from the laminate, we suggest the use of bubble-breaking rollers, type SPIRAL BRISTLE, produced by KANSAI MUSASHI. For the resin polimerization the addition of MEK-Peroxide in the amount of not over 1% is recommended; we also suggest the use of an amino primer (DEAA) in the amount of 0.1 ÷0.5 %according to the desired pot-life.

Storage of Resin P296

If the productis stored in the dark in its original container, perfectly sealed and at a maximum temperature of 20˚C, it is stable for at least 3 months from the date of production. Longer periods of storage, or in conditions other than those defined above, may alter the product'scharacteristics and compromise its use.
