SynChem – Resins & Varnishes Voltatex® 4250 1-component-resin

Voltatex® 4250 is a yellow-brown, ready-to-use impregnating 1K dip resin based on unsaturated polyesterimide resins.

  • single component
  • free of styrene and vinyltoluene
  • low emission
  • minimum exposure to the working area
  • no risk of fire and explosion hazards
  • not classified as dangerous in the meaning of transport regulations

Voltatex® 4250 is designed for the combined Electrical/UV-process. The product can be cured in conventional ovens as well.
The cured resin compound is characterized by:

  • high thermal and mechanical strength, especially under long-term stress
  • good resistance to solvent gases
  • resistance to refrigerants

Delivery forms

Voltatex® 4250 is supplied in one-way-cans containing 25 kg and 200 kg. Additionally 1000 kg containers (returnable) are available (not for oversea export).

Storage

In closed original packaging the resin can be stored for more than 6 months if provided storage temperature does not exceed 25 °C. Opened containers have to be closed immediately to protect the material from daylight!

Hardening

Voltatex® 4250 is a low emission product; nevertheless to minimize evaporation of reactive components while curing the impregnated objects
should be heated up to the curing temperature in the shortest possible time. The air flow in the curing zone should be kept to the minimum permitted by safety considerations.

Dependent on the thermal and mechanical requirements we recommend two successive electrical curing cycles of 10 - 20 min each at 150 – 180 °C and – in parallel to the second curing cycle – a UVA-radiation phase with an output of > 25 mW/cm² for the Electrical/UVprocess.

Protection

Cured Voltatex® 4250 is biologically inactive and not dangerous to health. When processing the liquid resin, please refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Voltatex® 4250.

Cleaning

Cured Voltatex® 4250 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

In combination with the Electrical/UV-process Voltatex® 4250 provides a customized adjustment of the impregnating quality paired with maximum material efficiency. As we cannot foresee all possible designs and applications in this Technical Data Sheet please get in contact with our Technical Representatives for further advice and support, such as trials in our technical laboratory as well as our expertise related to equipment design and production scale-up.

Unlimited tank stability with resin Voltatex® 4250 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.
