Crystic® Laminating Resin 1122PA
Crystic® Laminating Resin 1122PA is an orthophthalic, low-viscosity, unsaturated polyester resin. It is supplied as a solution dissolved in monomeric styrene. This product is pre-accelerated to give sufficient pot life for contact molding using Andonox® KP9 catalyst at normal ambient temperatures. It is suitable for a wide range of applications. This product has been specially formulated to give rapid wetting and impregnation of reinforcements and to aid in the elimination of air. It is almost colorless when cured.

- Post Curing
For most applications, where the molded product will be used at ambient temperatures, satisfactory laminates can be produced without post curing at elevated temperatures, provided workshop temperatures are not below 20°C.; For more critical applications, where optimum properties are required, or where the service temperature of the molding will be above ambient temperature, post curing at elevated temperature is recommended. The optimum temperature for Crystic 1122PA is 80°C. After release from the mold, laminates should be allowed to mature for 24 hours at a workshop temperature of not less than 20°C. before being post cured. Place the part in an oven, suitably supported to prevent warping, and increase the temperature from ambient to 80°C in 10°C stages.; Leave the molding at 80°C for three hours, and then switch the oven off. Allow the molding to cool slowly in the oven. Post curing is most effective if it is carried out immediately after the 24 hour maturing period.
