SynChem – Resins & Varnishes Voltatex® 4201 1-component-resin

Voltatex® 4201 is a low emission, ready-to-use impregnating 1K dip resin, based on unsaturated polyesterimide resins.

  • single component
  • low emission
  • minimum exposure in the working area
  • no classification as dangerous goods

The cured resin compound is characterised by:

  • very good adhesion
  • high thermomechanical strength, also when sustained loading is applied
  • hard and tough

Delivery forms

The dip resin is delivered in 25 kg one-way-cans.

Storage

The resin can be stored for up to 8 months at max. 25 °C if sealed correctly in original containers. Opened containers have to be resealed and protected against direct daylight!

Hardening

Voltatex® 4201 is a low emission product, nevertheless to minimize evaporation of reactive components during curing; the impregnated objects should be heated up to curing temperature in the shortest possible time. The air flow in the curing oven should also be kept to the minimum permitted by safety considerations.

Curing times:

Dip & Bake Process at 130 °C 2 h
  at 150 °C 1 h
Trickle Process at 130 °C 15-30 min
  at 150 °C 10-15 min

 

Protection

Voltatex® 4201 is biologically inactive and safe to health. Implement normal protective measures when processing the liquid dip resin: See the Material safety data sheet (MSDS).

Cleaning

Cured Voltatex® 4201 is almost insoluble. Therefore, application equipment should be regularly cleaned with cleaner Voltatex® T050. All equipment cleaning and maintenance should be carried out in accordance with the equipment manufacturer’s instructions.

Processing

The impregnating resin can be applied by using all kind of conventional dip and bake equipment, continuous and vacuum dip process, VPI process and trickle feed process is also possible. Unlimited tank stability with resin Voltatex® 4201 can be achieved as long as the material is kept below 25 °C and at least 20 % of the tank content is used and replaced with fresh resin per month.
