Description

R200I series is formulated from a DCPD-based unsaturated polyester resin combined with performance additives, specifically designed for closed-molding processes such as RTM (Resin Transfer Molding) and vacuum infusion.

This resin provides reliable handling, consistent gel time control, and uniform laminate consolidation, while helping to achieve a smooth and consistent surface finish.

Product Characteristics:

  • Optimized viscosity for RTM and infusion flow
  • Good reinforcement wet-out and laminate consolidation
  • Uniform and consistent surface finish
  • Controlled gel time and curing behavior
  • 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:

R200I series is recommended for the manufacturing of composite parts using RTM or infusion processes, particularly where a uniform surface finish and consistent laminate quality are required.

Recommended Application Methods:

  • RTM (Resin Transfer Molding)
  • Infusion / Light-RTM

Description and Specifications

The advanced technology behind Gelco’s resins gives them the following properties:

Low shrinkage

Low shrinkage means that a material retains nearly its original volume during curing

Good bonding between layers

Good interlayer adhesion indicates that the different layers of a material remain firmly bonded without separating

Stable curing performance

Stable curing control indicates that a material reacts in a uniform and predictable manner
