RESOLTECH 1050 Hardeners 1053S to 1059S Structural Lamination Epoxy System      Adjustable pot life from 10min to 14hours Room temperature cure & mould release TG up to 75°C Excellent wetting properties on all reinforcements For small to XXL size parts productions The 1050 epoxy laminating system is formulated to manufacture high performance lightweight structures with glass, carbon, aramid and basalt reinforcements with or without post-curing. This latest generation system, without CMR substances according to GHS criteria is optimized with a low exotherm, low viscosity and excellent air release properties. This epoxy system is also suitable for the manufacture of small to very large structures and composite parts by wet lay-up, infusion, injection moulding or filament winding while guaranteeing low toxicity working conditions to the users. All hardeners mix with a 100/35 ratio and can be pre-blended together to precisely adjust the desired pot life. The 1050 resin + 1053S system is particularly recommended for infusion thanks to its low mixed viscosity (205mPa.s). The 1050 resin is available in a thixotropic version 1050T for wet lay-up application in vertical or overhanging surfaces prone to resin dripping. It is possible to release the parts from the mould without post-curing. To speed up demoulding a 40ºC cure is possible and optimum thermo-mechanical properties of the laminate will be obtained after a 60ºC post-curing cycle. Laminates produced with the 1050 system will offer very good mechanical properties combined with excellent fatigue resistance thanks to its exceptional wetting properties, improving the composite interlaminar properties even on aramid reinforcements. Its elongation at break in flexion up to 5% makes the 1050 system as a prime choice epoxy system for large structural laminates submitted to dynamic working efforts.

Mixing ratio by weight 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 preferable 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 1050 system can be applied by brush, roller, infused or injected. In case of...

Eye protection should be worn to avoid risk of resin, hardener, solvent or dust entering the eyes. If this occurs flush the eye with water for 15 minutes, holding the eyelid open, and seek medical attention. Ensure adequate ventilation in work areas. Respiratory protection should be worn with ABEKP coded filters....
