*The typical values listed here are not to be construed as specifications. Gel times shown are typical but may be affected by catalysts, accelerators, polymerization inhibitor concentrations, resins, molds and shop temperatures. Gelation characteristics may change with different types of initiators and under very high humidity conditions. Pigments and/or fillers may retard or accelerate gelation. It is recommended that the manufacturer verify the gelling characteristics of the resin under actual operating conditions with a small amount of resin prior to use.

Curing system: 100g of resin + 0.1g of 6%Cobalt + 0.1g of DMA The amount of DMA should not be less than 0.1% or the amount of DEA should not be less than 0.2%. 0.2%DMA can be used as a substitute for 0.1%DMA.
Process Operation Guide
- Maintain a hardener dosage level of between 1.01 TP6T and 2.01 TP6T of total resin weight to obtain fully cured strength;
- The temperature of the workshop should be maintained between 18℃ and 32℃, and the humidity of the workshop should be maintained between 40% and 90%. Constant shop conditions will result in constant gel time and help the manufacturer produce high quality products.
- The surface of manufactured products cured at room temperature in contact with air should be relatively non-stick. However, they may not be fully cured and therefore not as resistant to chemicals as fully cured articles. If further layers are not intended, a styrene solution of 10% containing 5% paraffin (melting point: 46-48°C) may be added to the final layer of resin to obtain a non-tacky surface.
- Room temperature curing facilitated by cobalt salt solutions applies MEKP initiators with a high dimer content to minimize foam generation with the Vipel® F013 series.
- Vipel® F013 series composite products already cured at room temperature are then cured at 70-100°C for two hours for optimum cure and performance.
