Introduction
WP-L5100 is part of Wells New Materials (WAM)’s fast-curing epoxy resin system and is used in products such as bicycle components, helmets, shoe soles, and marine applications.Its viscosity and tack make it ideal for the prepreg process, and its performance characteristics (viscosity and flexibility) remain stable across a wide range of temperatures. WP-L5100 can be stored for three weeks at room temperature and for four months at -18°C.
Features and Benefits
- Fast curing (10 minutes at 150°C, 20 minutes at 130°C)
- Medium-temperature molding (>80°C)
- Separate post-curing can improve heat resistance and mechanical properties.
- Shelf Life: 3 weeks @ 25°C
Recommended Processing Methods and Applications
- Blow molding, compression molding (rapid curing): bicycle components, shoe soles, helmets, industrial components, etc.
- Vacuum bagging (low-temperature curing): Marine vessels (rowing boats, yachts, etc.), wind turbine blades, and other large structures
※ Not suitable for tube winding or autoclave molding processes.
