RESICHIM R812
FIBER TYPE THIXOTROPIC POLYESTER

RESICHIM R812 is a pre-accelerated, ortho-DCPD based unsaturated tixothropic polyester resin. It has a low styrene
content compared to conventional resins. GRP applications are used. Because of the low deformation and tixothropy when
it is applied to vertical surfaces there will be no flowing and hanging and provides homogenous final product. It is used in
automotive sector, swimming pool applications, production of tractor and heavy-duty vehicle cabins also it is optimized for
marine applications such as yatch, boats and catamarans.

HANDLING AND STORAGE CONDITIONS

It should be stored in a dry, clean and cool place (15-25 ° C) in closed packages. The shelf life of the product is valid for this temperature range and it
should not be forgotten that it will shorten at high temperatures. Products with the same charge number and date must be stored together.
Another factor that affects the life of unsaturated polyester resins containing styrene is sunlight. Styrene must be polymerized in the sunlight and products
that are considered to shorten the life of the product should be avoided from direct sunlight contact. It should be stored in a dry, clean and cool place
