POLYESTER RESIN 5L + 5 HARDENERS

ITALKO BRAND 

Polyester resin is intended for manual application to repair surface defects. When combined with packaged glass mats, a properly made laminate creates a flexible and resistant to mechanical damage. Its advantage is resistance to atmospheric factors, greases, oils, diluted acids, allowing for wide application in shipbuilding, automotive, and construction.

Substrate:

• steel
• wood
• metal
• polyester laminates
• aluminum
• old paint coatings

Do not apply directly to reactive primers and single-component acrylic and nitrocellulose products.

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Surface preparation: Clean, sand, and degrease the surfaces. Degrease again and then dry thoroughly.
2. Preparation of glass mat: Prepare an appropriate piece of glass mat so that it overlaps at least 2 cm beyond the damaged area.
3. Preparation of resin: Mix thoroughly to achieve a uniform color 100 weight parts of polyester resin with 2-3 weight parts of hardener. Application time after mixing with hardener is 10-15 minutes at 20°C. Do not exceed the recommended amounts of hardener.

Application:

1. Apply the resin mixed with hardener to the cleaned area using a brush.
2. Place the mat, press down, and saturate with resin using a brush. Depending on the damage, several layers can be applied. Minimum working temperature is 10°C. Do not pour unused resin mixed with hardener back into the container.

Drying time:

45 minutes/20°C. After curing, the laminate surface can be mechanically processed or leveled with polyester filler. Temperature below 20°C extends drying time.

Sanding:

Preliminary sanding should be done with sandpaper P80-P120.

Storage:

Store in original packaging, tightly closed, in a dry, cool place away from heat sources and ignition, at a temperature of 5 to 20°C. Do not expose to direct sunlight.
