Acrylic resins are used to produce plastics and polymer composite materials and products from them - molding stone, marble, acrylic, polymer, accessories, artificial acrylic stone, mosaic tiles, artificial marble, reinforcing thermal insulation material.They are used in the manufacture of acrylic baths, monuments, fountains, ponds, for a device of liquid polymer floors and coatings.
Acrylic resin is used together with the polyester and epoxy resins.It is characterized by a high rate of hardening and minimal toxicity, which is not an epoxy and polyester resins.Working with this material must be provided with personal protective equipment (rubber gloves, respirators, cotton bathrobes, goggles) and protective clothing.All operations when working with artificial resins must be carried out in rooms that are equipped with forced ventilation.In case of contact with eyes resin components must be abundant rinsing with water.
acrylic resin can be used both independently and with different fillings.The composition of the material on its base part and a hardener (powder) - up to 3% by weight.The optimum temperature of the room for the polymerization of the resin should be above 15 ° C.When the air temperature below 15 ° C, experts recommend adding a mixture of 3.5% hardener.It should be noted that at temperatures below 10 ° C the polymerization of the material is increased by several times.Given that the hardener is quite damp, before using it must be dehumidified.To do this, it needs to be put on a clean sheet of paper and let it dry thoroughly.Keep in mind that wet hardener slows down the process of polymerization, and the composition itself can change the color.Curing refers to explosives, so it is kept moist and away from heating radiators, direct sunlight (ultraviolet light).
acrylic resin is poured into a plastic container (bucket, cup, bowl and t. D.), After which it was added hardener, then the mixture was thoroughly stirred until complete dissolution of granules (about five minutes at room temperature).The resulting mixture is poured into the required shape.These forms of pre-lubricated with a release means (separating varnishes "Izokol", "Izolak" lithological, grease or any other plastic lubricants).After about 20-50 minutes (depending on ambient temperature) the mixture was polymerized.During polymerization it is heated (to 60 ° C and even higher), so in order to avoid burning, it is not recommended during the polymerization hands touch form.Full hardening occurs during the day, the actual time depends on the ambient temperature, mass and volume of the product.
acrylic resin with the filler: a method of using
resin mixed with a hardener, after which the resulting mixture is added to organic and inorganic fillers.The filler used marble chips, crushed stone, sand, gravel, and so on. D. (More often - marble chips).Keep in mind that for the non-ferrous products, enter inert pigments.All components of the mixture are thoroughly mixed, then filled in appropriate forms.The optimum ratio of the acrylic resin and the filler - 30:70.
synthetic resin: a way to store
resin should be stored indoors, which is protected against weathering, UV action.When stored properly the shelf life of synthetic resin is 1 year.
