BEL Series
- additives for resin formulations -
Liquid additives to adjust properties of resins and paints.
Features & Benefits of the several types:
BEL11
Liquid foaming agent
To foam up of epoxy resins and to build foam laminates or in combination with sandwich materials (such
as paddles or other components).
BEL31
Liquid thickening agent (rheology additive)
Prevents settling / sagging of resin formulations.
Main usage in covering systems (paints, topcoats,…).
For high thixotroping applications like pitties, we recommend HP-PK22.
BEL51
Defoamer
Used to add, in order to prevent the mixture from any formation and bubbling during the application.
BEL71
Levelling additive
Improve levelling properties (such as gel- or topcoats), reduces “fish-eyes”.
Main usage in covering systems, like topcoats.
BEL91
Light stabilizer and yellowing-inhibitor
Low-viscosity, UV-absorber for high quality surface-applications. (carbon-design, wooden coatings,
casting).
Usable in epoxy-systems and PUR-paints by HP-Textiles.

*Please note:
1The mentioned amounts are standard values. Additives or combination among themselves may cause to less
transparency. The exact values should be determined by tests beforehand.
2The thixotropy will generate after a medium reaction time. That is why we recommend predispensing into resin
component.

Application Instructions:
BEL11 - (liquid foaming agent):
The foaming agent must be stirred thoroughly. Higher speed cause to a finer dispersion, what leads to an
evenly distributed foam-structure.
An additional thixotropy with (approx. 5 % by weight) PK22, cause to a better foam up and a more
homogeneous foam structure.
Guide formulation for an
epoxy-foaming resin, based on E40D:
Further information regarding guide formulation:
quantities (g)
E40D (resin) : 100 g
Even after a few minutes starts the foam expansion
E40D (hardener) : 50 g
and forms to a fine, homogeneous foam.
PK22 (thixo-agent) : 7,5 g
All in all, it comes to a volume increase of approx. 200
corresponds to 5% by weight
up to 300% of the start volume.
BEL11 (foaming agent) : 4,5 g
corresponds to 3% by weight
Hint: It is able to come to demixing of BEL11, because the product will not be dissolved.
We recommend tests beforehand, because there are several influencing factors for the foam build up.
Caution: The hydrogen produced by BEL11 is flammable and can lead to the formation of explosive oxyhydrogen mixtures
if there is insufficient ventilation. Do not use in closed rooms.
BEL31 – (liquid thickening agent, rheology additive):
After approx. 1-2h, it will generate a thixotropy. Because of this reaction time, we recommend
predispensing into resin component. After mixing with resin, the viscosity will build up slowly.
BEL51 - (defoamer):
It is possible to add this product to the mixed product (resin with hardener).
To prevent air bubbles, we recommend to add it to the resin component, before adding to the hardener.
BEL71 - (levelling additive):
It should admit to the mixed product (resin with hardener).
BEL91 - (light stabilizer and yellowing-inhibitor):
It should admit to the mixed product (resin with hardener).
