SynChem – Resins & Varnishes Voltatex® 4230 1-component-resin

Voltatex® 4230 is a low emission, ready-to-use impregnating, yellowish 1K dip resin based on unsaturated polyesterimide resins.

  • single component
  • low emission
  • minimum exposure in the working area
  • excellent impregnating result and high efficiency due to structural-viscose behaviour

The cured resin compound is characterised by:

  • low tendency to crack
  • very good adhesion
  • good elasticity
  • high thermal and mechanical strength, even under extreme long-term stress

Delivery forms

Voltatex® 4230 is supplied in one-way-cans containing 25 kg. Additionally 1000 kg containers (returnable) are available (not for oversea export).

Storage

The resin can be stored for up to 4 months at max. 25 °C if sealed correctly in original containers. Opened containers have to be resealed and protected against direct daylight!

Hardening

Voltatex® 4230 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: 2h
at 150 °C: 1h

Protection

Cured Voltatex® 4230 is biologically inactive and not dangerous to health. When processing the liquid resin, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Voltatex® 4230.

Cleaning

Cured Voltatex® 4230 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 & bake equipment
  • continuous and vacuum dip processes
  • VPI process

Voltatex® 4230 generally offers specific advantages such as very low evaporation losses in impregnating tanks, high resin retention on impregnated objects and low draining losses while curing. Related to the structural-viscose behaviour the resin requires convection prior to the impregnating process in order to provide a reasonable penetration into the winding.

Unlimited tank stability with resin Voltatex® 4230 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.
