Chemical/Physical Properties
Synolite™ 8388-P-1 is a low viscosity, pre-accelerated, promoted, thixotropic, medium reactivity DCPD polyester resin. LSE systems are incorporated.
Synolite™ 8388-P-1 does not contain monomer amines.
major application
Synolite™ 8388-P-1 was developed for hand lay-up and spray applications to produce high performance structural laminates.
Main characteristics
Synolite™ 8388-P-1 combines good mechanical properties with optimal processability. The resin exhibits very good fiber wetting and impregnation properties.
Thick laminates can be manufactured in a single run due to low exotherm, good full cure and relatively low shrinkage. Optimized LSE systems have been developed to achieve excellent low styrene emissions. Color change systems facilitate spray applications. Synolite™ 8388-P-1 can be used with powder and emulsion bonding pads.
