Zepoxy Barflex
ZEPOXY BARFLEX is ideal for filament winding and pultrusion processes, thanks to its low viscosity, excellent fiber wetting properties, and extended pot life. It is intended for use by experienced professionals only. To ensure material compatibility, testing under real processing conditions with additional materials like fibers and release agents is essential.

PRODUCT BENEFITS
- Very long potlife
- Low viscosity
- Adjustability of reactivity by accelerator (Part C)
APPLICATION
The viscosity and pot life data in this Product Data Sheet are measured at 250C. If the resin system is processed at different temperatures, adjustments to processing parameters may be necessary. Curing must take place at a minimum of 800C to ensure solidification, with post-curing recommended for optimal performance.
