West System Laminating Epoxy

Aeropoxy laminating epoxy pr2032 is a medium viscosity unfilled light amber laminating resin that is designed for structural production applications.

West system laminating epoxy.

Three hardeners are available for use with pr2032. Adding these filling agents to blended epoxy resin and hardener allows you to control the consistency of the epoxy bridge gaps in joints create either. West system epoxy was created by gougeon brothers sailors builders and formulators who know the engineering and the chemistry required for high performance composite structures. Ph3660 has a 1 h.

Apply enough epoxy to thoroughly wet out the cloth. Wet out small or tight areas with a disposable brush. It was commonplace to see a 70 foot long mold shrink 3 32 over the entire 70 foot length. Wet out larger areas with a foam roller or by spreading the resin hardener mixture evenly over the surface with a plastic spreader.

Apply a second coat of epoxy with a foam roller. Use a scraper to contain small spills and collect as much material as possible. Joints bonded with these epoxy mixtures are often stronger than the fibers that surround them. When small amounts of filler are added to mixed resin and hardener west system 105 resin based epoxy becomes a very strong gap filling adhesive.

Back in the late 70s and early 80s gougeon brothers inc. Contain large epoxy spills with sand clay or other inert absorbent material. West system epoxy combined with additives can be used for filling and fairing holes and voids. West system epoxy fillers are used to thicken the basic epoxy resin hardener mixture for specific applications.

The cloth should appear consistently transparent with a smooth cloth texture. Start with 105 resin the basic ingredient of all west system epoxy compounds. That represents shrinkage of just 01 on a laminate consisting of fiberglass and west system epoxy. We are an employee own family run organization that has maintained our performance driven development of marine epoxies since the company was founded in 1969.

Each epoxy filler possesses a unique set of physical characteristics but they can generally be categorized as either adhesive high density for bonding applications or fairing low density for sanding and fairing applications. Select a hardener for its intended use and for the cure speed best suited for your job in the temperature range in which you are working. Add one of six west system fillers to thicken the mixture as needed. Follow up with absorbent towels.

Remove the excess epoxy with a spreader using long overlapping strokes. West system epoxies cure to a hard solid plastic with superior mechanical properties. Trim the excess and overlapped cloth after the epoxy has reached its initial cure. Manufactured over 4 000 wind turbine blades and their molds using west system epoxy.

Mix with one of four west system hardeners. Wet out epoxy bonding surfaces apply a neat epoxy resin hardener mixture without fillers to the surfaces to be joined.
