Chemical/Physical Properties
Synolite™ 8488-G-2 is a low viscosity polyester resin. It is especially recommended for vacuum-assisted resin injection molding.
sales area
Not manufactured for sale in mainland China.
major application
Synolite™ 8488-G-2 is particularly well suited for marine applications.
Main characteristics
Synolite™ 8488-G-2 is a DCPD pre-promoted unsaturated polyester resin in styrene monomer. The resin is promoted.
Synolite™ 8488-G-2 can produce laminates with relatively short delamination times at excellent polymerization levels.
Synolite™ 8488-G-2 has a very low peak exotherm.
license
Synolite™ 8488-G-2 is approved by DNV for use in marine applications.
