Yachtcare Polyester Resin Fillers are specialized additives designed to enhance the properties of polyester resins, ensuring optimal performance in marine applications.
- Thixotropic Powder: Transforms liquid resin into a non-flowing, paste-like consistency, ideal for vertical applications and preventing sagging during curing.
- Aerocell Micro Filler: A lightweight additive that reduces the overall weight of the resin mixture, making it suitable for applications where weight reduction is crucial.
Technical Specifications
- Density: Approximately 1.1 kg/L
- Application Temperature: Optimal between 18°C and 25°C
- Pot Life at 20°C:
- 1% hardener: 40 minutes
- 2% hardener: 30 minutes
- 3% hardener: 20 minutes
- Curing Time: Achieves full cure within 24 hours, depending on ambient conditions and hardener percentage.
Materials
- Base Resin: Orthophthalic polyester resin
- Hardener: PMEC (Para-Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide)
Dimensions
- Packaging: Available in 500g and 1kg containers
Compatibility Information
- Specifically formulated for use with Yachtcare resins but also compatible with other polyester resins.
- Ideal for reinforcing fiberglass mats and fabrics in boat hulls, water tanks, and other marine structures.
Additional Details
- To achieve a non-flowing resin suitable for vertical applications, incorporate the thixotropic powder into the resin mixture.
- For lightweight filling masses, especially in applications where weight is a concern, use the Aerocell micro filler.
