Epoxy system SR Green Cast 160 / SD7160

SR Green Cast 160 epoxy resin is manufactured with a bio-based carbon content of about 37%.

SR Green Cast 160 / SD7160 system:
The SR Green Cast 160 / SD7160 system exhibits very slow reactivity that allows casting of thick sections in one operation, without a change in color. With almost no odor during application, it hardens at room temperature, but in order to get the full mechanical properties (excellent resistance to thermal and physical shocks,) a post-cure from 40 to 80 ^oC is advised.

Curing time:
Curing time depends on the quantity of mix for casting, geometry of the part, thermal conductivity of mould and ambient temperature. SR Green Cast 160 / SD7160 system is very slow on small castings. To reduce cycle time, we advise to try several levels of temperature during the cure, in order to control the exothermic temperature in the part.

Advised post cure cycle:
Let cure at ambient temperature. Then increase the thermal properties of the system by a post-cure of 24 hours 40 ^oC or 8 hours at 40 ^oC + 12 hours at 60 ^oC.
