BOATCRAFT CONTRACT EPOXY RESIN

BoatCraft Pacific Contract Epoxy Resin is an economical yet user friendly epoxy resin manufactured for professional boatbuilders and repairers. Its 5:1 ratio matches industry standard systems, but it is advanced on many other epoxies on the market by using technology developed for our Bote-Cote retail systems. Contract Epoxy Resin is free of amine blush provided the temperature exceeds 18 deg C and humidity does not exceed 60%. Other features are:

· thixotropic formulations available to control runs and sags

· minimum irritation ingredients

· reactive diluents available for improved wetting and adhesion

· range of custom formulated fillers and raw materials available

· fast, standard, and slow grades, plus accelerators, are available to adjust cure rates

· production dispensers are available, making dispensing of epoxy components a simple and accurate procedure
