T-Lam 130-1 Slow EPOXY TOOLING LAMINATING SYSTEM ¬ Thermally stable up to 130°C (266°F) when fully postcured ¬ Low viscosity for wet-out of heavy weight reinforcements ¬ Low exotherm and extended pot-life makes this product ideal for large or complex moulds ¬ Ambient curing and low shrinkage for accurate mould manufacture ¬ Good Health and Safety INTRODUCTION T-Lam 130-1 Slow is an epoxy tooling system for manufacturing glass or carbon moulds by wet laminating. T-Lam 1301 Slow is part of the 130°C tooling systems and is compatible with the range of gelcoats, infusion, and repair materials. T-Lam 130-1 Slow is a low shrinkage ambient curing system, which simplifies accurate mould manufacture. Designed for laminating and cure at 20°C, it should then be mid-cured at 40°C (104°F) for 4 hours to guarantee the strength needed for demoulding. It can then be postcured off the plug to give a material that is thermally stable to 130°C (266°F). Exceeding this temperature will cause a rapid loss in stiffness and a safety margin is required for the maximum tool operating temperature to prevent distortion or tool damage.

Any deviation from the prescribed mix ratio may degrade the thermal capability and physical properties of the material. MIX RATIO T-Lam 130-1 Slow should be mixed at the following mix ratio: T-Lam 130-1 Slow Resin T-Lam 130-1 Slow Hardener 100 : 40.0 (by weight) 100 : 50.3 (by volume) * Pot life in larger volumes can be reduced. Material approaching its pot life is typically 40-50°C (104 - 122°F) in the centre of the pot and it will then thicken as it applied to the cooler plug / laminate. This material will have already seen a higher temperature and will reach a higher viscosity more...

HEALTH AND SAFETY Users should ensure that some elevated temperature cure is applied to the component before trying to machine it. In a component made from T-Lam 130-1 Slow, which has seen no heat, there will only be a partial cure. Therefore the sanding dust will be more irritating than dust from a laminate cured at elevated temperature, in which there will be more thorough cross linking. Particular care should also be taken when removing peel plies from part cured material as this can also produce a dust like particle, and an elevated cure or personal protective equipment is...

TRANSPORT & STORAGE The resin and hardener should be kept in securely closed containers during transport and storage. Any accidental spillage should be soaked up with sand, sawdust, cotton waste or any other absorbent material. The area should then be washed clean (see appropriate Safety Data Sheet). Adequate long term storage conditions will result in a shelf life of 12 months for both the resin and hardener. Storage should be in a warm dry place out of direct sunlight and protected from frost. The temperature should be between 10°C and 25°C. Containers should be firmly closed. Hardeners,...
