How to Reduce Resin Cost and Improve Part Performance
Traditional calcium carbonate fillers within the cast polymer industry have been designed to the course side. They generally run with 23 to 26% resin requirement in order to achieve acceptable wet out. The disadvantages to these are that they require fairly viscous resins to attain acceptable physical performance and the high level of resin required. Due to the resin viscosity and poor filler particle packing, they are in fact fighting against each other and create undue stress and extreme peak exotherms (170-200 degrees) in areas where the part masses vary significantly.
These stresses and extreme exotherms create part failure which is visible at demand or may show up as failures in the field.
Sanco Inc. is leading the way in development of filler and resin systems that overcome problems, high resin demand vs. filler loading and hot weather casting problems, of both traditional calcium carbonate fillers and lightweight filler. The correct filler to resin ratio improves the physical performance significantly.
Sanco offers the following filler and resin systems to reduce matrix cost and improve part quality performance:
I. Sanfill 33 and SPG Resin #23.140916 or 23.670725
II. SLC 1100/27 and SPG Resin #23.140916 or 23.670725
III. SLC 1100/25 and SPG Resin #23.140916 or 23.670725
IV. SLC 1100/33 and SPG Resin # 23.149016 or 23.670725
