Polymal-8856 Polymal-8225 Polymal-835 Poliset PS-845 Poliset PS-610 Poliset PS-5863
Description Polymal- 8856 resin is general purpose, medium reactivity unsaturated, orthophthalic polyester resin. Available in unwaxed, waxed and low styrene emission XLE. It is suited for hand layup and spray up lamination. Polymal-8225 Laminating Resin of Lower Reactivity orthophthalic resin. Available in unwaxed, waxed and low styrene emission XLE. Suitable for general lamination and for thicker laminates. Polymal-835 Laminating Resin of Higher Reactivity orthophthalic resin. Available in unwaxed, waxed and low styrene emission XLE. Suitable for general lamination and for thinner laminates and /or cooler climates. Poliset 845WT-U is fillable, general purpose thixothropic, non accelerated, waxed type of unsaturated polyester resin of orthophthalic. It exhibits good tack free property upon curing and good wetting properties with fillers. PS-610PT is thixothropic, pre-promoted, non-waxed type unsaturated isophthalic polyester resin suitable for various lining and FRP laminating that require heat and chemical resistance. Available in unwaxed, waxed and low styrene emission XLE. Polymal 5863PT is availabe as unwaxed, waxed, XLE and is accelerated and thixothropic unsaturated polyester resin based on terephthalic /NPG. It is high molecular weight with good chemical & heat resistance.
