EH-103: Slow Epoxy Hardener


 

 
   

Product Description

EH-103 is a cycloaliphatic epoxy hardener that is compatible with

both ‘DR’ and ‘ER’ series resin systems. 

Processing

Mix resin and hardener thoroughly at specified ratio.  Resin can be heated slightly to lower viscosity.  Do not expose resin or hardener

to excessive moisture conditions until fully cured.  Post-cure part at 120oF for 2-3 hours before demolding to reduce epoxy brittleness.  Free stand post-cure part  slowly (20oF per 60 minute steps) to

160 oF  to achieve maximum strength.

Applications

• Large marine projects that require 8 hours of

  working time. 

* Large boating hulls have been successfully laminated and vacuum bagged in one application.   It is recommended to post-cure at 120oF before removing parts from mold.
