    Technical Specification

    Resin – General Purpose (GP)


     DESCRIPTION:
    Thixotropic, is a high quality / orthophthalic polyester resin with mixture of special glycols, a
    specially designed formulation for filament winding, spray layup and hand lay-up
    applications. Resin shows excellent mechanical strength, superior water and thermal
    resistant.
     FEATURES:
    1. Excellent fiber wettability,
    2. Low styrene emission,
    3. Superior crack resistance,
    4. Excellent flexural strength,
     USES:
    General Purpose Resin is used in a huge variety of industries, like;
    Manufacturing pipes, bathtubs, water tanks, etc.
     HOW TO USE:
    A) Hand Layup and Spray Layup Casting:
    1- Apply Gelcoat spray on mould and let it cure,
    2- Mix Resin + Catalyst according to specified quantity and mix well, (1% ~ 2%)
    3- place fiberglass matt on the mould, apply Resin mixture by hand or spray
    4- Add more fiberglass layers and repeat the above
     STORAGE TIPS:
    Store at temperature below 25ºC and avoid direct sunlight, heat or fire. Keep
    containers sealed to prevent moisture pickup and monomer loss.
    Shelf life is 6 months if kept below 25ºC, at ventilated places.
    *Promoted Resin is best used within 3 month from production.
     Packing:
    1- IBC’s 2- New Drums 3- Re-conditioned Drums

     Grades Verity:
    - GP-200-PA Non-thixotropic, waxed (Promoted Resin)
    - GP-200-TPA Thixotropic, waxed (Promoted Resin)
    - GP-201-PA Non-thixotropic, waxed (Promoted Resin)
    - GP-201-TPA Thixotropic, waxed (Promoted Resin)

    Warning: Resin contains ingredients, which could be harmful if mishandled. Contact with skin and eyes should
    be avoided and necessary protective equipment and clothing should be worn.
