LG 385 epoxy resin is a high quality resin with increased bonding capacity and high flexibility and load resistance, while maintaining very high hardness and temperature resistance properties.
The resin contains a specially modified additive which significantly improves the resin’s absorption capacity in the fabric, making it particularly suitable for use with carbon or Kevlar fabrics.
The resin is compatible with most polyester gelcoats.
HG 385 hardener is a low viscosity hardener containing additives, allowing the laminate to be worked without special post-curing and to obtain 90% of the mechanical properties of the laminate by holding for 2-7 days at room temperature (23oC).
Post-curing is not necessary but is recommended to achieve the maximum mechanical and chemical properties of the resin.
The temperature resistance of the resin systems after 50°C post-heating is in the range -60°C to 60°C.
Post-heating at 80oC– temperature resistance 80-90oC.
Use
Mix the epoxy resin and hardener together on a balance in the proportions indicated, stir thoroughly and work out according to the development time of the hardener.
The optimum temperature for resin development is 20-25°C, while the working room temperature is 15-30°C and the humidity <80%. Do not mix the resin in large quantities as the resin may start to heat and boil when the curing reaction starts at high thickness.
The total thickness of the resin laminate should not exceed 5 mm.
