POLYLITE® 32032-20
POLYLITE® 32032-20 is a water-white, clear casting resin designed for applications in which extreme clarity and absence of color are required. Castings made with POLYLITE® 32032-20 have the same refractive index as glass. Suggested applications include decorative castings, tabletops and biological encapsulations. POLYLITE® 32032-20 is a preaccelerated, UV stabilized orthophthalic polyester, with a low viscosity and low reactivity. POLYLITE® 32032-20 contains methyl methacrylate to enhance weather resistance.

- HIGHLIGHTS
POLYLITE® products are Quality Controlled with the specified catalyst. However, alternatives are available and all users should be aware that a single catalyst formulation cannot provide optimum results in all resin systems. The interaction between the catalyst and the inhibitor/accelerator systems used in our products is complex and varies from resin to resin. Consequently the gel and cure characteristics provided by alternate catalysts can vary greatly from those specified. It is, therefore, absolutely essential that the user evaluate each alternate catalyst in each product before full-scale manufacture is started.
