| System 2000 Epoxy Resin is a low viscosity, light amber laminating resin that is designed for fabricating parts and other demanding structural applications. Use this system to maximize the physical properties of carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and glass laminates! Test results have proven superiority over other room temperature epoxies. Its low viscosity and great handling characteristics make it a favorite in the shop too! Three high performance hardener systems are available for the System 2000 resin. 20 minute, 60 minute, and 120 minute pot life versions are all options. This added variety allows the fabricator to select the system best suited to the size, complexity or time-frame of the project. Simple parts which need to be demolded quickly should use the 20 minute hardener. Larger and more complex parts can use either of the other hardeners. Vacuum bagging applications would typically warrant the longest 2 hour working time. As with any epoxy system, adhere to the proper mix ratios and maintain an adequate curing temperature of at least 70°F. The cure time will be cut in half for every 10°F that the temperature is raised above 70°F. The short 20 minute pot life of the 2020 Epoxy Hardener is quite versatile. Use for repairs, simple fabrications, or those parts requiring a quick demold time. Information provided by Fibre Glast Developments Corporation. |
