Polyurea - ESK PU2 A/B + PU Flex
High Toughness, Abrasion and Impact Resistance.
Offers a very versatile system in terms of processing and simple modification to cure speed and flexibility of the end product.
Typical Applications – Rapid production of tough, durable castings, typically for assembly jigs, percussion tools, foundry patterns, prototypes, machinery parts and low volume production items.
-
Cure Speed – Simple modification to the cure speed can be made by blending with PU1. Gellation can be adjusted from 60 second gel to 10 minutes complimenting machine or hand processing.
-
ESK PU2 A/B (Shore D 70) offers a very resilient, tough, abrasion and impact resistant cured product which can be cast by hand or via MMD equipment in ERP, GRP, Silicone or metal tooling.
-
Flexibility can be modified by the addition of PU Flex which enables a comprehensive range of products ranging from D70 to A30 can be achieved.
-
Possible to add pigment or dye to achieve a preferred colour.

Room Temperature or elevated cure options by choice of hardener ESK H4 or ESK LVH2
ESK DP1000 + ESKH4 or ESK LVH2
Toughened Epoxy System with Lower Viscosity
-
High degree of toughness
-
Suitable for Infusion and wet Laminating applications.
-
Unfilled system so particle filtration is not an issue
-

Adhesive Systems
Toughened Epoxy System – ESK T + ESK H4 or LVH2
-
Suitable for adhesive and wet laminating applications
-
High degree of toughness
-
Long pot life
-
Room Temperature or elevated cure options by choice of hardener ESK H4 or ESK LVH2
Hardener ESK H3 could be considered for room temperature applications where poor surface preparation or moisture is likely to be an issue.
