ClEAR CAstinG REsin<br />
Low exotherm, mass casting water clear ortho resin. Use for clear resin castings,<br />
encapsulating embedded objects and coating table and bar tops. Cures with a surface<br />
tack. Refer to Fiberlay web site at www.fiberlay.com to see “TIPS FOR USING CLEAR<br />
CASTING RESIN”. Use with MEK Peroxide. Quantity of catalyst used will depend on<br />
ambient temperature and, more importantly, volume (mass of resin) to exposed surface<br />
area. Too much catalyst will result in shrinkage and cracking. Catalyst sold separately.<br />

MEKP<br />
MEKP (MEtHyl EtHyl KEtonE PERoxiDE) is the most commonly used organic<br />
peroxide initiator. In North America, active oxygen content of MEKP provided by suppliers is typically<br />
in the area of 9%. The active oxygen content of organic initiator peroxide varies by geographical<br />
region. Fabricators should check with their local organic peroxide initiator supplier for specific<br />
active oxygen content guidelines. MEKP is typically used with cobalt napthanate (CoNAP) promoter<br />
and DMA/DEA accelerators for room temperature curing of most polyester and vinyl ester resins.<br />
Concentration of isomers/active oxygen variations of MEKP can provide additional cure flexibility<br />
with some resin and promoter systems. There are several versions of MEKP, for example, some<br />
have low dimer contents and others have high dimer contents. For vinyl ester resins, MEKP initiator<br />
with a high dimer content is the preferred initiator.<br />

polyesters it gives much longer gel and gel to cure times but with a higher peak exotherm, particularly<br />
in thick sections. with most vinyl esters, ORCA Solutions MEKP gives the most complete cure of any<br />

Resin Additives QS Code 08..<br />
UltRAViolEt ABsoRBERs are typically added for applications that must resist the<br />
degrading effects of long-term exposure to sunlight. UV absorbers are used on the exterior portion of the laminate<br />
and where specified by the buyer. Most specifications define the amount and type of UV absorber. Alternatively, the<br />
recommendation of UV absorber manufacturers can be followed. UV absorbers are most commonly added to the top<br />
coat but may be added at a lower loading to the structural layer. CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />
synERGists may be added to fire retardant resins to meet<br />
specifications calling for code flame spread requirements. The most<br />
commonly used fire retardant synergist fillers are antimony oxides.<br />
These products are used with halogenated resins to enhance the fire<br />
retardant properties. Addition of these products to non halogenated<br />
resins does not improve the flame resistance significantly. Antimony<br />
trioxide has been the most common product, and it should be<br />
incorporated with a high shear mixer in order to ensure that the particles<br />
are suitably dispersed into the resin. Frequent mixing is recommended to<br />
prevent settling in the resin. Liquid dispersions of antimony products are<br />
also available and preferred by many fabricators.<br />
Three specimens of Vipel ® K022-C series resin show the effect of synergist addition on translucency. The clear one has<br />
no synergists. The middle one contains 2.5% Nyacol ® APE3040. The most opaque one contains 1.5% antimony trioxide.<br />
CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />
ABRAsion REsistAnt additives such as aluminum oxide, silica and silicon carbide can be added to resin<br />
to improve the abrasion resistance of the composite. Other fillers are generally prohibited in many corrosion-resistant<br />
equipment specifications. Occasionally, inert conductive fillers such as graphite or carbon black will be added to a resin<br />
to meet electrical conductivity requirements. Abrasion resistance of the composite can be improved through the use of<br />
hard, inert fillers such as silicon carbide. CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />
DEFoAMinG AGEnts are occasionally needed to enhance release of air bubbles that form in the resin when<br />
cobalt and MEKP initiators are used. Foaming is less common when high dimer initiators are used than when low dimer<br />
imitators are used. Examples are byK ® -A 555 and Foam Kill. CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />
VAPoR sUPPREssAnts can be added to resins to reduce styrene and other monomer emissions and are<br />
becoming a more important part in emission compliant issues. <strong>Resins</strong> containing these additives must be tested per<br />
the MACT specified test method to determine the particular emission reduction index for each additive in each resin.<br />
Fabricators also need to be aware that these additives can affect secondary bonding and in many cases this will need to<br />
be tested also. If secondary bonding is not an issue, paraffin wax can be used. For some applications where secondary<br />
bonding is necessary, byK-S 740/750 have been used. however, acceptable secondary bonding can never be assured<br />
when products such as these are used. It is always best to grind before applying secondary laminates.<br />
CALL FOR PRICE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />
initiators QS Code 08...<br />
Initiators, frequently referred to as catalysts, start the gelling process. Initiator is mixed into promoted<br />
resins immediately prior to use or are injected by spray gun. when practical it is best to pour additives<br />
into the vortex so that they do not cling to the side wall of the container. Initiator is injected into<br />
the promoted resin stream in spray-up equipment systems.<br />
CAUtion: Initiator is NEVER mixed with promoters or accelerators. The best procedure is to add<br />
initiators to resin that already contains promoters or accelerators. Direct contact of an initiator with<br />
a promoter or accelerator can create an explosive condition or cause a fire. Consult the MSDS for<br />
each of these materials for safe handling and storage.<br />
CHP (CUMEnE HyDRoPERoxiDE) is principally used with high reactivity vinyl ester<br />
resins such as Vipel F085 to provide lower exotherm temperatures and reduced shrinkage. ChP<br />
performs well with CoNAP/DMA formulations. ChP is also suitable for some other resins where<br />
slower cures are required or thicker laminates are made in a single pass without intermediate cure<br />
and exotherm stopping points. CALL FOR SIZE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />

initiators QS Code 08..<br />
BPo (BEnZoyl PERoxiDE) is available in powder form, as a paste or in a liquid<br />
emulsion. Powders and pastes are difficult to use and control. when bPO is required, emulsions with<br />
40% active bPO content are preferred for use with vinyl ester resins. when determining bPO additive<br />
concentration take into account the dilution factor. (<strong>Gel</strong> time tables are based on 98% active bPO.)<br />
bPO initiator with DMA accelerator is preferred for laminates in sodium hypochlorite service in place<br />
of conventional MEKP/CoNAP/DMA cure systems. The ratio of bPO to DMA is critical to avoid gel<br />
and cure inconsistencies. Post curing is required to achieve complete cure with bPO/DMA.<br />

inhibitors & <strong>Gel</strong> time Extenders QS Code 08..<br />
tBC (tERt BUtyl CAtECHol) is an inhibitor frequently added to styrene<br />
monomer to provide longer shelf life when the monomer is purchased in drum quantities.<br />
when any styrene containing TbC is added to promoted resin mixes, the resin gel<br />
time and cure characteristics may be altered. TbC as purchased is usually 85% active<br />
inhibitor and should be used very carefully. A very small amount of TbC can have a<br />
significant and inconsistent impact on gel and cure. Addition of small quantities is best<br />
controlled using a 5 or 10% solution in styrene and adjusting formulations accordingly.<br />
CAUtion: Care must be taken to prevent TbC solutions from contacting the skin.<br />
Refer to the MSDS. CALL FOR SIZE AND AVAILABILITY.<br />
2,4-PEntAnEDionE (2,4-P) is a gel time extender or retarder for vinyl ester resins; however, it is also<br />
a promoter for polyester resins. 2,4-P is recommended for long gel times because it has minimal effect on the<br />
ultimate cure. It is effective for MEKP and ChP initiator systems but is not effective with bPO initiator systems.<br />
Caution is needed using 2,4-P. Refer to the MSDS for handling instructions. Several of the tables in the Appendix<br />
of this publication demonstrate formulations where gel times have been adjusted through the use of 2,4-P.<br />
