Technical Information

8201PT
DESCRIPTION
Polymal 8201PT is general purpose thixotropic, pre-accelerated, non waxed type unsaturated polyester
resin of orthophthalic widely used for hand lay-up, spray and filament winding moldings. It exhibits
excellent resistance to heat, chemical and water, as well as good affinity for glass fibers. Thus providing
FRP moldings with high strength.

APPLICATION
Suitable for making a variety of glass fiber reinforced plastic such as water and storage tanks.

RECOMMENDED STORAGE
Typical storage life at temperature below 250C is 3 months. To ensure maximum stability and maintain
optimum resin properties, avoid exposure to heat sources such as direct sunlight and steam pipes. The resin
should be stored in closed container below 250C and properly sealed to avoid moisture pick-up and
monomer loss. It is strongly recommended to mix thoroughly before use.
