PRODUCT DATA SHEET

XPR 6670 – Isophthalic Resin for Pipes
XPR 6670 is unsaturated Polyester laminating resin having medium viscosity and low
reactivity based on Isophthalic acid and standard glycols, dissolved in styrene monomer.
It is specially designed for filament winding applications. The mechanical and chemical
resistance of this resin is better than other Isophthalates and orthophthalates.

XPR 6670 rapidly wets the surface of glass fiber in the form of cloth, roving and
emulsion and powder bonded mats. The laminates fabricated with XPR 6670 show
superior chemical resistance towards mild to medium concentrations of mineral acids at
moderate temperatures. It is suitable for manufacturing of pipes for sewage treatment
plants etc.,

TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF CURED CLEAR CAST RESIN:

The test specimens were cured for 24 hours at room temperature and subsequently post
cured at 80°C for four hours

Barcol hardness : > 40

Heat deflection temperature (°C) : > 80

Tensile strength (kg/cm2 ) : > 650

Tensile modulus (Mpa) : > 3200

Elongation at break (%) : > 3.0

Flexural strength (kg/cm2 ) : > 1200

Flexural modulus (Mpa) : > 3400

CURING CONDITIONS
The specimens for testing of mechanical properties are prepared by curing the resins with 0.5 ml
Accelerator (3% cobalt content) and 1.0 % MEKP catalyst, added to 100 gm. of resin. The
specimens are cured for 24 hours at room temperature followed by post curing for 4 hours at 80°C.

STORAGE & SHELF LIFE

XPR 6670 should be stored in a cool and dry place away from sunlight and other sources of heat,
preferably below 25°C. At higher storage temperatures, the shelf life decreases sharply. Presence
of moisture also affects the storage life of the resin leads to turbidity in the resin. XPR 6670 is
guaranteed for 3 months from the date of manufacture provided the resin is stored at temperatures
not exceeding 25°C.

METHOD OF TESTING
The method of testing and the tolerances are as prescribed in IS-6746-1994 (Rev 2015).
