STYPOL® 040-8003
STYPOL® 040-8003 is a pre-promoted,flame-retardant polyester resin containing styrene monomer. It is especially formulated for production of reinforced plastic products using resin transfer molding (RTM). Certain applications with specific flame-retardant needs may require the addition of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and modest amounts of alumina trihydrate or antimony oxide/ammonium dimolybdate.
