Product catalog summary

Introduction
RESOLTECH 1020 is a versatile epoxy laminating system suitable for wood-epoxy, concrete reinforcement, and metal constructions. It is particularly useful in boat building for various applications such as lamination and coating. The system offers a wide range of hardeners, allowing for adjustable pot life from 15 minutes to over 10 hours. A thixotropic version (1020T) is available for applications prone to dripping.

Specifications
The mixing ratio for all hardeners is 100:30 by weight, and they are compatible for mixing to achieve desired reactivities. The system is compliant with REACH regulations and contains no CMR components, ensuring a safer workplace.

Mixing and Application
Mixing should be done at temperatures between 18 and 25°C for optimal results. The system is not sensitive to humidity and performs well in various environmental conditions. The recommended hardeners vary with seasonal temperatures: 1026S for year-round, 1028S for winter, and 1025S for summer.

Physical Characteristics
The resin and hardeners have specific densities and viscosities at 23°C, with the mix density ranging from 1.06 to 1.08 and viscosities from 239 to 528 mPa.s.

Reactivities
Gel times and exothermic peak temperatures vary across hardeners, with 1023S offering the longest gel time and 1029S the shortest. The choice of hardener should consider ambient temperature conditions.

Reticulation and Post-Curing
To achieve maximum thermo-mechanical properties, follow the recommended curing cycles. Glass transition temperatures and Shore D hardness vary with curing conditions, with higher temperatures generally improving these properties.

Mechanical Properties
Flexion properties are provided for both 14-day ambient curing and 16-hour post-curing at 60°C. The system demonstrates good flexural modulus and strength, with varying elongation properties depending on the hardener used.

Packaging
Available in various packaging sizes, including jerrycan kits and drum kits. The 1020T version requires stirring before use and is available in metal buckets.

Health & Safety
Protective gear is essential to avoid skin and eye contact. Adequate ventilation and respiratory protection are recommended. Full Material Safety Data Sheets are available for all hazardous products.

Transport & Storage
Store products in sealed containers between 10°C and 30°C in a well-ventilated area. Ensure products are used before the expiry date indicated on the packaging.

RESOLTECH 1020 is a room temperature epoxy laminating system for wood-epoxy, concrete reinforcement and metal constructions that are inherently moving structures. In boat building, it may be used for all woods types lamination, coating, scarfing and strip planking. Thanks to its low viscosity and a wide range of hardeners (15 min to 10h44min), it allows applications in both traditional wet layup, vacuum bagging or under press. A thixotropic version, the 1020T is available for vertical or overhanging applications prone to dripping. The mixing ratio for all hardeners is 100:30 by weight. All hardeners...
