General purpose DCPD laminating resin
Description
R200 series is formulated from a dicyclopentadiene-modified (DCPD) unsaturated polyester resin designed for general-purpose composite manufacturing.
Compared to standard orthophthalic laminating resins, the R200 series provides lower shrinkage, lower exotherm, and improved surface finish, while maintaining good mechanical performance and ease of application during hand lay-up processes.
Product Characteristics:
- Easy handling for hand lay-up applications
- Low shrinkage for improved laminate surface appearance
- Lower exotherm for better curing control and reduced print-through
- Good wet-out and impregnation of fiberglass reinforcements
- Balanced mechanical performance for general-purpose composite parts
- Good bonding between laminate layers
- Suitable for pigmenting and gelcoat lamination
Primary Applications:
R200 series is recommended for the manufacturing of composite parts using hand lay-up or spray-up application methods, particularly where a consistent surface finish and stable laminate quality are required.
Recommended Application Methods:
- Spray-up
- Hand lay-up
