Description

R100 series is formulated from a high-quality orthophthalic unsaturated polyester resin, designed for general-purpose composite manufacturing.

This resin offers good mechanical strength, ease of application, and controlled curing behavior, making it suitable for a wide variety of hand lay-up and contact molding processes.

Its viscosity profile allows for excellent wet-out of reinforcements,ensuring proper laminate consolidation.

Product Characteristics:

  • Easy handling for hand lay-up applications
  • Good wet-out and impregnation of fiberglass reinforcements
  • Balanced mechanical properties for general-purpose use
  • Controlled gel time and curing behavior
  • Good bonding between layers
  • Suitable for pigmenting and gelcoat lamination

Primary Applications:

R100 is recommended for use in the manufacturing of composites parts using hand lay up or spray up application methods

Recommended Application Methods:

  • Spray-up
  • Hand lay-up

Description and Specifications

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

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

Good wet-out and impregnation of fiberglass reinforcements

Excellent fiberglass impregnation indicates that the resin fully penetrates the fibers, ensuring a strong and uniform composite
