EPIKOTE™ Resin MGS LR285
- Chemical Family
- Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives
EPIKOTE™ Resin MGS LR285 is a resin of a very good quality used for the aeronautics and for the production of models. The resin together with a hardener makes a very viscose blend which is why the fibers are quickly and very well saturated. Due to this, the product has lower weight and higher use value.
