Catalyst (MEKP)

Catalyst (MEKP)

Catalyst (MEKP)

All resin and top coat products require catalyst to cure from a liquid into a solid. Catalyst is normally added at 1% to 4%.

All our resin and top coat products (except barrels and IBC,s) are supplied with 2 percent catalyst free of charge.

Please note, catalyst is a corrosive, flammable substance which must be carefully handled and stored. Keep away from flammable materials. Keep away from accelerator which could cause fire or explosion. We strongly recommend reading the safety data sheets before using these products

Accelerator

!

Accelerator

All our resins and top coats are supplied with cobalt accelerator already added. Small amounts of accelerator (i.e. approximately 0.5 percent) can be added to pre accelerated products to speed up the cure time. Always mix the accelerator thoroughly into the resin BEFORE the catalyst.

Please note, accelerator is a flammable substance which must be carefully handled and stored. Keep away from flammable materials. Keep away from catalyst which could cause fire or explosion. We strongly recommend reading the safety data sheets before using these products.

Styrene

!

Styrene

Used to thin resin and top coat. Resin already contains approximately 35% styrene. For thinning do not use more than 10% addition as this will degrade the resin.

Please note, styrene is a highly flammable substance which must be carefully handled and stored.

 

 

 

Wax solution

Wax solution

The addition of wax solution (at approximately 2 percent) effectively turns gel coat into top coat. The wax eliminates the surface tackiness of gel coats and resins when required as a final coating. Top coats have the wax already added and should only normally be used as the final coat. Resins or gel coats applied with wax solution added will always need to be abraded if further coats are necessary.

Please note, wax solution is a highly flammable substance which must be carefully handled and stored.
