TECHNICAL DATA SHEET RESOLTECH 1040 HIGH PERFORMANCE EPOXY LAMINATING SYSTEM Advanced epoxy laminating system formulated to manufacture high performance structures with or without post-curing. The system is suitable for the manufacture of large structures and composite parts by contact, infusion and injection moulding. It features an adjustable working time from 15mn to 8 hours, a max. Tg of 144°C, optimised viscosity and low toxicity to the user. It is possible to release the parts from the mould without post-curing (except with the HT & SL hardeners). The resulting structures will have an excellent resistance to high temperature. The system is also suitable for casting and filament winding applications. MIXING HARDENER 1041SL* 1041HT* 1042HT* 1043 1046 1048 BY WEIGHT 100 + 35 100 + 30 100 + 25 100 + 35 100 + 24 100 + 22 BY VOLUME N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A * Require a post cure at 60oC minimum. WARNING: The mixing ratio must be accurately followed. It is not possible to change the ratio, it would result in lower mechanical properties. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred to ensure full homogeneity. It is important to note that epoxy systems tend to heat up much faster in a pot than as a thin film. It is therefore necessary to only mix the necessary amount usable within the given pot life. Keeping the mixture in flat open containers reduces the risks of exothermic reaction. APPLICATION The standard procedure of working with epoxy systems applies to the RESOLTECH 1040. The system can be applied by brush, roller, infused or injected. In case of laminating over a cured surface without peel ply, it is required to deglaze, clean and degrease the support prior to laminating. The 1041SL ,1041HT & 1042HT hardeners require a cure at 60 oC minimum. For more information, please refer to the applications technical bulletins (TechNotes), available on request. CURING Workshop conditions: 18 to 25oC, 70% humidity maximum.
