Aropol XO
Thixotropic
Filled
Very low shrinkage due to built-in anti-shrinkage system
Pre-accelerated
Fast layer build-up
Aropol XO is a resin specially developed for making polyester moulds that provides good dimensional stability. This resin has very low shrinkage and good mechanical properties. Due to its unique composition, this resin allows the mould to be built up wet-on-wet quickly to the desired layer thickness. For the anti-shrinkage system to work properly, a minimum of 5 mm should be processed wet-on-wet (four layers of 450 g/m2 powder-bound glass mat).
Application
Thanks to its low viscosity, this tooling resin can be easily processed by hand lay-up or spray-up techniques. This resin is used behind vinylester mould gelcoat and as a skin layer based on vinyl ester resin.
