Application outcome

Finished Products Made with This Resin Family

Typical finished products include bathtubs, shower trays, wash basins and artificial-stone components. Final resin selection depends on surface requirements, laminate design and production cycle.

Typical applications

  • Backing reinforcement for acrylic sanitary ware
  • Worktops and sinks
  • Composite kitchen and bathroom surfaces

Process fit

Applicable Process Scenarios

Recommended processes

  • Backing reinforcement of acrylic products
  • Filled worktop and sink casting
  • Composite surface moulding for wet-service areas

Selection priorities

  • Positioned for cast sanitary ware and artificial-stone products.
  • Suitable for evaluation where surface quality, filler wet-out, and production cycle must be balanced.
  • Color matching and the curing system can be evaluated under the customer's actual process.
  • Verified fields support initial selection; any missing fields are identified separately. Final supply specifications are confirmed during inquiry or order processing and through production trials.

Process workflow

Production Process

Typical sanitary-ware backing uses controlled resin impregnation with glass-fibre reinforcement, followed by curing, trimming and quality inspection.

  1. Mould or shell preparation
  2. Resin and reinforcement application
  3. Controlled curing
  4. Demoulding and trimming
  5. Surface and quality inspection

Test basis
Catalogue method: resin 100 g, cobalt accelerator 1 mL, standard MEKP 1 mL, 25 C

Viscosity 150-450 mPa.s; gel time 10-18 min; non-volatile content pending exact-model verification. Catalogue gel time is measured with 100 g resin, 1 mL cobalt accelerator, and 1 mL standard MEKP in a 25 °C water bath. The current 1688 page lists 60% solids while the exact-model catalogue lists 62-68%; the non-volatile field is therefore withheld pending exact-model source reconciliation. Acid value, peak exotherm, Barcol hardness, tensile strength, and flexural strength are not published in the currently available exact-model source. These fields remain pending exact-model verification; SIHE does not infer them from a similar model and publishes them only when a source or signed test result includes the applicable conditions. Values are typical references, not release specifications. A current dated TDS for the confirmed exact model and supply is provided through the Contact page during inquiry or order processing.
