PLIOGRIP P4444  RESILIENT ISOPHTHALIC  RESIN

 

General Description   

 

PLIOGRIP P 4444 is a resilient low viscosity Isopthalic polyester resin specifically formulated for mould making and tooling applications.  The resin possesses fast wetting characteristics and good hot strength.  The resin is also suitable for grating application where its low viscosity allows higher glass incorporation in the grating structure.

 (The specimens for testing are cured for 24 hours at Room temperature followed by Post Curing for 4 hours at 80°C)

 POST CURING REQUIREMENTS:

Satisfactory laminates for many applications can be made by curing the laminate at ambient temperatures. However for achieving optimum properties the laminate should be post cured for a period of 4 hours at 80°C. The post curing is most effective when carried out immediately after the 24 hours ambient temperature cure.

 Storage & Handling :

Should be stored in closed containers in cool conditions away from direct Sunlight. Resins exposed to direct Sunlight may lead to premature gelation even in the absence of a Catalyst.   Shelf life of Resin @ 25°C. about 6 months from the date of manufacturing.

Most of our resin contain styrene monomer and are classified as highly flammable liquids. Working areas should be well ventilated since styrene has a threshold value of 1000ppm in normal working atmosphere  .It is also an eye skin irritant. Hence, Goggles and gloves are recommended while handling our Resins

 Caution:

Pliogrip Q 8013 MEKP should never be mixed with Pliogrip S 1021 Cobalt, as this would cause explosion. The Pliogrip S 1021 Cobalt should be blended into the resin first. The Pliogrip Q 8013 MEKP should be added just before use.
