Principal Properties & Application:
ALITA 239 resin is an isophthalic unsaturated polyester resin made mainly from isophthalic acid, with medium viscosity, high reactivity, and excellent colorability. ALITA 239 resin products have high mechanical strength, good chemical resistance, low sensitivity to fracture, and thus have a high fatigue life. Its product surface has excellent heat resistance and is suitable for pultrusion molding processes.

Note:
The casting method is performed according to GB/T 8237-2005, curing system: promoter 0.6% Co Naph 1.0%, curing agent Enox BPO-50F 1%;
Casting: 4mm thick, post-curing conditions are: room temperature × 24h, 60℃ × 3h, 110℃ × 2h.
Usage instructions:
1. ALITA 239 resin does not contain wax, accelerator, or thixotropic agent.
2. The recommended curing system for pultrusion processes is BPO curing agent 0.5-2.0% and TBPB curing agent 0.5-1.5%. The actual selection should be based on specific equipment, products, process temperature, pultrusion speed, and other factors. When making thick products, it is recommended to add a low shrinkage agent to reduce the shrinkage rate.
3. For higher corrosion resistance requirements, it is recommended to choose epoxy vinyl ester ALITA 901 resin.
Handling and Storage:
This resin contains ingredients which could be harmful if mishandled. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided and necessary protective equipment and clothing should be worn.
Drums - It is highly recommended that all material is stored at stable temperatures below 25°C (77°F). Avoid exposure to heat sources such as direct sunlight or steam pipes. To avoid contamination of product with water, do not store outdoors. Keep sealed to prevent moisture pick-up and monomer loss. Rotate stock.
