OCPOL N4180E
OCPOL N4180 E Is a Thixotropic, Pre accelerated and medium reactive Orthophthalic Unsaturated
Polyester Resin with a blue catalyst colour change indicator. It is formulated for the production of regular
GRP panels in the marine, Industrial and Transport applications with hand lay up or spray up processes.
It is extra inhibited to help good shelf life in Middle East climate and Geltime adjusted to suit higher
ambient temperature work environment.
The accelerator system incorporated in the resin gives medium long Geltime, good reactivity, relatively
low exotherm and quick de-moulding time in medium thick laminates (3-8 mm) applied wet on wet. It
comes with a controlled Viscosity level ensuring good glass fibre impregnation.

RECOMMENDED CATALYST
The product is quality controlled with Butanox M-50. Users of the alternative peroxide should be aware of
the fact that the gel and cure characteristics provided by alternate peroxide can vary greatly from those
specified. User shall evaluate each alternate peroxide prior to full scale manufacture.
PACKAGING
OCPOL N4180E is supplied in ISO Road Tankers of 22 MT, 1100 kg returnable IBC’s or Non- returnable
220 kg Steel drums.
STORAGE
N4180E is recommended to be stored in closed containers at temperatures below 25 C and away from
Heat for its optimum performance. Avoid storage under direct Sun. The Flash point of the resin is 32 C
and therefore should be stored away from flame or combustion sources. The storage area and containers
should conform to local fire and building codes.
