PRO-SET LAM-145 Thixotropic Laminating Resin

Description

This listing is for PRO-SET LAM-145 Laminating Resin only. You will need to select an appropriate PRO-SET Laminating Hardener from one of the suggested hardeners which can be found below.

PRO-SET Laminating Epoxies are a versatile system of liquid resins and hardeners designed to meet a wide range of wet lay-up laminating applications. Use PRO-SET Laminating Epoxies to produce lightweight, high-performance composite structures that will withstand long-term cyclic loading in the harshest environments. These epoxies bond to core materials, wood, metal and all reinforcing fabrics. They offer excellent moisture resistance, toughness and superior resistance to heat and fatigue. PRO-SET Laminating Epoxies develop excellent physical properties at room temperature and may be post-cured for enhanced performance.

Any Standard PRO-SET Laminating resin may be combined with any PRO-SET Laminating hardener to create a “custom” epoxy blend. Choose resin by viscosity and hardener by speed. To simplify the choice, Standard PRO-SET Laminating resins and hardeners are priced the same (except for High-Temp).

LAM-145 Laminating Epoxy uses a medium viscosity for good wet out of all synthetic composite fabrics and core materials but is thixotroped to prevent drain out in heavy fabrics and on vertical surfaces. This thixotropic resin system features a high tack for a conforming hold while using heavier fabric reinforcements or placing core over vertical surfaces. It has been optimized for hand wet out and machine impregnation, in contact molding, vacuum bagging and filament winding applications.

LAM-224: Fast cure speed hardener provides 40 minute working time at 77°F. A typical laminate will be gelled in about 1.5 to 2 hours.
LAM-226: Medium cure speed hardener provides 2 to 3 hours of working time at 77°F. A typical laminate will be gelled in 4 to 5 hours.
LAM-229:Slow cure speed hardener provides 4 to 5 hours working time at 77°F. A typical laminate will be gelled in 6 to 7 hours.
LAM-237: Extra slow cure speed hardener provides 7 to 8 hours of working time at 77°F. A typical laminate will be gelled in 12 to 14 hours.
LAM-239: Extended open time hardener provides 8 to 9 hours of working time at 85°F. A typical laminate will be gelled in 12 to 14 hours at 85°F

Laminating Epoxies can by dyed, upon request, to provide for visual quality control. A yellow dye in the resin and a blue dye in the hardener, when properly metered and thoroughly mixed, will result in a consistent shade of green.
