Type of Resin
RADOPOL IN600MC is a pre-accelerated, medium-reactive, medium-viscosity unsaturated polyester resin based on isophthalic acid and neopentyl glycol, modified with methyl methacrylate and additives for wetting and de-aeration.
Application Areas
The resin is formulated for use with the addition of quartz mix in the casting process, providing excellent resistance to thermal shocks, fast curing and completion of the reaction, excellent dimensional stability, and resistance to color change of cast products. Suitable for the production of sanitary ware such as sinks, bathtubs, shower cabins, and similar.
