Delivery forms

Dolphon®XL-2112 is available in 25 kg disposable containers, 230 kg barrels and 1,200 kg containers.

Storage

Dolphon®XL-2112 can be stored for 12 months at room temperature in a sealed container (max. 30 °C). The impregnating resin must be stored in a cool place and protected against direct sunlight, UV radiation and sources of heat.

Hardening

The curing time commences once the object temperature has been reached.

Typical curing times:

  • 1 h - at 150 °C*
  • 3-4 h - at 130 °C*

*Full curing is measured by DSC. Time must be taken after units reach the baking temperature. For objects having to endure high mechanical or chemical stress during service, longer curing times are recommended.

Processing

Dolphon®XL-2112 can be processed in dipping plants and vaccum chambers.

Dolphon®XL-2112 is sensitive to UV-rays. When not in use, the impregnation tanks must be protected from the light by means of a (non-transparent) lid.

Suggested impregnating process:

- Preheat the units at 50-60 °C (max.)
- Dip into the resin for 30-60 min.
- Drain for 1 h min.
- Bake 1 h at 150 °C or 3-4h at 130 °C* (see curing)

For the VPI application the cycle must be set for each type of machines. Feel free to contact us.
