Material Notes:
System 2000 Epoxy Resin is a low viscosity, light amber laminating resin that is designed for fabricating parts and other demanding structural applications. Use this system to maximize the physical properties of carbon fiber, Kevlar®, and glass laminates! Test results have proven superiority over other room temperature epoxies. Its low viscosity and great handling characteristics make it a favorite in the shop too!Three high performance hardener systems are available for the System 2000 resin. 20 minute, 60 minute, and 120 minute pot life versions are all options. This added variety allows the fabricator to select the system best suited to the size, complexity or time-frame of the project. Simple parts which need to be demolded quickly should use the 20 minute hardener. Larger and more complex parts can use either of the other hardeners.Vacuum bagging applications would typically warrant the longest 2 hour working time. As with any epoxy system, adhere to the proper mix ratios and maintain an adequate curing temperature of at least 70°F. The cure time will be cut in half for every 10°F that the temperature is raised above 70°F.The long pot life 2120 hardener extends working time on large-scale and complex projects. Suitable for vacuum bagging and laminating in hot climates. The 24-36 hour demold time can be reduced by increasing the cure temperature. The post cured service temperature exceeds 200°F.Information provided by Fibre Glast Developments Corporation.
