RESOLCOAT 1410-1417 and Accelerator AC140

Hot curing epoxy system

RST 1410 is a low viscosity cycloaliphatic epoxy resin

RST 1417 is an anhydride hardener
Accelerator AC140 is an imidazole accelerator

Applications
High performance composite parts

Properties
Extremely low-viscosity, anhydride-cured, reactive diluent free matrix system with a long pot life. The reactivity
of the system is adjustable by variation of the accelerater content. The system is easy to process, has good
fibre impregnation properties and exhibits excellent mechanical, dynamic and thermal properties. It has an
excellent chemical resistance especially to acids at temperatures up to 80 °C. Displays very good temperature
resistance after post cure.

Processing
Filament Winding, Pultrusion, Pressure Moulding

Accelerator AC140
Aspect (visual) : clear liquid
Colour (Gardner, ISO 4630) : <9
Viscosity at 25 °C (ISO 12058-1) : <50 [mPa s]
Density at 25 °C (ISO 1675) : 0.95 - 1.05 [g/cm3]

Storage
Provided that RST 1410, RST 1417 and Accelerator AC140 are stored in a dry place in their original, properly
closed containers at the above mentioned storage temperatures they will have the shelf lives indicated on the
labels. Partly emptied containers should be closed immediately after use. Because RST 1417 is sensitive to
moisture, storage containers should be ventilated with dry air only. RST 1410 which has crystallized and looks
cloudy can be restored to its original state by heating to 60 - 80 °C.

We recommend that the components are weighed with an accurate balance to prevent mixing inaccuracies
which can affect the properties of the matrix system. The components should be mixed thoroughly to ensure
homogeneity. It is important that the side and the bottom of the vessel are incorporated into the mixing process.

The values shown are for small amounts of pure resin/hardener mix. In composite structures the gel time can
differ significantly from the given values depending on the fibre content and the laminate thickness.

Typical cure cycles 1 - 2 h 100 °C + 6 h 160 °C

or 1 - 2 h 100 °C + 4 - 6 h 180 °C

The optimum cure cycle has to be determined case by case depending on the processing and the economic
requirements.
