Styrene

Solvent for diluting Polyester Resins and Gel Coats.

Styrene is used in production of unsaturated resins, Gel Coats and other coatings. It pre-exists in the afore mentioned materials, as a basic ingredient, in a ratio of 30-40%.

In some cases can be used additionally as a diluent of Polyester, Gel Coat, Top Coat. When a resin is thinned with styrene becomes even more fluid and impregnating. This serves for the purpose of priming a wood, or a porous surface before lamination.

Also used (if required) to dilute (5-8%) Gel Coat when applied with a spray gun.

In case of castings, styrene is also necessary with certain types of resins mixed then with fillers (alabaster, quartz etc.)

Caution: Volatile liquid with strong odour, flammable.

Available in 1 Lt

Usage:

• As a solvent for cases where we want to reduce the viscosity of a material.
• In productions of products containing a large amount of powders.
• In cases where the starting material to be used for production, has a low concentration of Styrene and adding additives in the desired amount is difficult.
• In cases where we have weathered polyester at our disposal, due to long-term storage
