Starting Formulation 8014

Re-Issued July 2007

Hand Lay-up FRP Matrix


EPON™ Resin 862 / HELOXY™ Modifier 68 / EPIKURE™ Curing Agent 3234

Introduction This hand lay-up system allows for high filler loading due to its low viscosity. This capability
allows this system to be used both as a laminating resin and as an adhesive system.

Suggested Uses
•
Pipe fittings, flanges, man-ways, etc.
•
General aviation parts
•
General adhesive applications

Features
•
Low viscosity
•
Initial room temperature cure
•
Post-cure recommended for optimum performance
•
Excellent balance of physical and thermal properties

Chemical
Description •
EPIKOTE Resin 862 is a bisphenol F epoxy resin
•
HELOXY Modifier 68 is a difunctional reactive diluent
•
EPIKURE Curing Agent 3234 is a aliphatic amine

Mixing Instructions EPON Resin 862 and HELOXY Modifier 68 may be blended in any ratio in order to adjust the
processing and performance. The 90/10 blending ratio by weight was selected to provide a
balance of processability and performance. Both components are low in viscosity and may
easily be blended at room temperature. Once the resin and the modifier have been blended,
then the curing agent should be added. Keep in mind that the gel time of EPIKURE Curing
Agent 3234 blended with this resin blend in a 100 gram mass is only 27 minutes. Please
plan accordingly.

For adhesive applications, the addition and thorough mixing of fillers, thixotropic agents, etc.
into the resin blend should be completed prior to the addition of the curing agent.

Composite The initial cure step should be carried out at room temperature. An elevated temperature
Fabrication / Hand post cure may not be necessary depending on the requirements of the desired application.
Lay-up However, an elevated temperature post cure is recommended for optimum performance.
Four hours at 82 °C (180 °F) was utilized to allow the use of low temperature tooling. The
post-cure may be performed freestanding depending on the part geometry and tolerance
required.
