Polyester Laminating Resin
Polyester Laminating Resin AR4117 is a room temperature curing, rigid, translucent, polyester resin for use with fiberglass fabric. It is an air-inhibited resin so additional layers can be applied without sanding between layers. Consequently, AR4117 is often called bonding resin or laminating resin. Successful applications include boat-building, auto body construction, mother mold production and other reinforced plastic parts by hand lay-up or chopper gun. MIX RATIO: The gel time and cure time are both dependent on three parameters: (1) the percentage of MEK-P catalyst used; (2) the temperatures of all ingredients and the surrounding environment; (3) the mass concentration of the resin, i.e., a solid-cast shape vs. thin film. A good starting point, at 72°F, is 1-1/4 % catalyst by weight. This is equivalent to 10 drops catalyst per ounce of resin, or 1 teaspoon catalyst per pint of resin. This level will result in a 15 min pot life and a 24-hour cure. As temperatures rise above 72°F, decrease catalyst, and vice-versa. Polyester resins will not cure below 60°F. Experiment until the correct ratio is determined for your specific application. In general, mix what you can use in 10 minutes. Remember to always wear eye-protection when working with polyester resin and catalyst. The strength of a fiberglass composite comes from the glass fibers. Thus, in making a strong fiberglass part it is crucial to use the correct amount of resin. Using a fiberglass roller will help saturate all the fabric with a minimum amount of resin....... Available in Qts, Gallons, & 5 Gallon Pails.
Cab-o-Sil Thickening Agent
Cabosil is a synthetic, amorphous, untreated fumed silicon dioxide. Because of its inert nature, it has been used in food such as kethcup as well as in shampoo and some cosmetics. When mixed into liquid resin, Cabosil functions as a resin thickener (flow control agent) and sometimes as an anti-settling, anti-caking agent. Its applications are many, including thickening paint, dyes in the screen printing industry, epoxy, polyester, urethane, water, hand soap and shampoo. It is a versatile thickening agent that has even been used to "thicken" fresh water and sea water. "" Warning"" ""Do Not Breath Cab-o-Sil"" Sold by the Pound
