Carbon fabric 160 g/m² (twill weave), width 100 cm/100cm

Set of two components

• Free from nonylphenol, benzyl alcohol and DETA
• Low viscosity, solvent- and filler-free
• Fast impregnation of glass, aramid and carbon fibres
• High static and dynamic strength
• Low surface tension, good adhesion and low curing shrinkage
• Ideal for bonding wood, metal, Styropor® etc.

Epoxy resin L with the corresponding hardeners is the most frequently used laminating and bonding resin from the R&G product range.

Epoxy resin L with Hardener S has similar mechanical properties to the laminating systems commonly used in aircraft construction.

Processing time: 15 minutes (100 g / 20 °C)

Mixing ratio:
100 : 40 parts by weight Epoxy Resin L : Hardener S
100 : 45 parts by volume Epoxy Resin L : Hardener S

Curing time (at 23 °C): 16 - 24 hours
Cold hardening, hardens from 5 °C (low temperature hardener)
Heat distortion temperature: Approx. 65 °C

Processing:
It can be processed in all common processes such as hand lamination, pressure and vacuum impregnation as well as pressing and winding.
 

Material characteristics (pure resin cured) Epoxy Resin L with Hardener S:

CYTOX expert opinion on the Resin System Epoxy Resin L + Hardener S (see below under additional information): this system is not cytotoxic (cell-damaging), important for applications in medical technology.

Set of two components

Approval by the Germanische Lloyd for the construction of boats and rotor blades for wind turbines.

Mixing ratio:
100 : 30 parts by weight Epoxy Resin L : Hardener GL 2
100 : 35 parts by volume Epoxy Resin L : Hardener GL 2

Processing time: approx. 210 minutes*

*Measured with Gelnorm® gel timer: 100 g at 20 °C = approx. 210 minutes processing time).
(Temperature rise in the cup from 23 °C to 40 °C at 100 ml approx. 109 minutes

Properties:

• Extremely low-viscous (Mixing viscosity 250 mPas at 25 °C)
• Highly transparent (Colour index < 1 Gardner)
• Fully cures at 15 °C
• Glass transition temperature (Tg) > 85 °C (post-curing at 70 °C / 15 h)
• Ambient curing does not result in brittleness (at 20 °C)
• High static and dynamic strength

Suitable for the following processing procedures:

• Resin infusion (RI)
• RTM (resin transfer moulding)
• Press moulding
• Vacuum moulding
• Filament winding
• Hand laminating

The resin component itself is absolutely free of crystallization due to its Bisphenol A/F base! The resin system is ambient curing and develops no distinctive brittleness even at curing temperatures below 20 °C.
However, in order to improve the mechanical and physical properties, we recommend heat curing at a minimum of 40 °C for 15 h.

Processing times with Epoxy Resin L depending on the proportion of hardener GL 1 / GL 2*:

*Both hardeners can be mixed as required. The mixing ratio of 100: 30 resin to hardener remains unchanged.
