Product overview
Multipurpose epoxy for composite laminating and finishing
KINETIX R230 is a solvent-free liquid epoxy system that cures at room temperature for marine and industrial applications. Use it for general laminating or combine it with appropriate fillers for bonding, filleting and fairing.
Key features
- Three cure speeds: H230 fast, H231 medium and H232 slow
- Common 100:25 resin-to-hardener ratio by weight
- Pot life from 12-15 to 90-100 minutes at 25°C
- Mixed viscosity from 380 to 725 mPa·s at 25°C
- Suitable for laminating, bonding, filleting and fairing
- Store sealed at 15-32°C away from direct sunlight
