High-Strength Epoxy Resin for Boat Building and Repair
The 105 Epoxy Resin from West System is a high-strength epoxy resin designed for boat building and repair. It is a clear, pale yellow, low-viscosity liquid that cures to a hard, solid plastic with superior physical properties. This epoxy resin is formulated to wet out and bond with wood fiber, fiberglass, and reinforcing fabrics, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications.
Fast Curing and Durable
The 105 Epoxy Resin cures at a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for a variety of projects. Once cured, it forms a high-strength solid that is functionally waterproof and highly resistant to moisture vapor. This epoxy resin is also highly resistant to shrinkage, making it ideal for applications where dimensional stability is critical.
Safe to Use
Unlike styrenated resins, the 105 Epoxy Resin is formulated without volatile solvents, making it safer to use. It has a relatively high flash point and no solvent odor, reducing the risk of accidents and health problems.
Thickening and Bonding
The 105 Epoxy Resin can be thickened with fillers to create an excellent structural adhesive or fairing compound. It bonds well with a variety of metals and can be used to create strong, durable bonds.
Coating and Finishing
This epoxy resin is also a great coating material, offering excellent thin-film characteristics. It can be applied with a roller and will flow out and self-level without "fisheyeing." By combining it with blush-free 207 Special Clear Hardener, you can create a natural finish that requires minimal additional coatings.
