30A400D-18
30A400D-18 is a low profile, low shrink, unsaturated polyester laminating resin designed for use in the production of boats,
canoes, RVs, and general fiberglass parts. 30A400D-18 contains a maximum of 35% styrene (HAP) by weight, which meets the
EPA 40 CFR Part 63 requirements of the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) for boat manufacturing
and the International Standard ISO 12215-1 Small Craft Hull construction and scantlings.
a
Part 1: Materlals: Thermosetting resins, glass-fibre reinforcement, reference laminate requirements for resin type B.
FEATURES BENEFITS
* Low Laminate Exotherm * Good cosmetic surface and minimal glass print
+ Moderate Trim Time * Shorter cycle times and fast Barcol development _
* Good Fiberglass Wet-Out _ + Easy roll-out and high laminate physical properties
+ Less Than 30% HAP (Styrene) + Less odor and lower emissions in the shop

The gel time and reaclvily will vary due to the type and concentration of Free Radical Initiator (catalyst), shop temperature, humidity, and type of fillers used. In order to
meet your Individual needs consult our technical sales representative for assistance.
The alr-curing capabilities of DCPD laminating resins are well documented. Ambient temperature, catalyst level, laminate thickness and configuration can all contribute to
accelerating and surface cure. Care must be taken to ensure that secondary taminates have good adhesion. Cured surfaces should be sanded between laminates.
