Epoxy resin for high temperatures up to 130°C
At a glance
- Long processing time
- Ideal for moulds
- High temperature resistance
Special epoxy resin with very high temperature resistance. After post-cure, the resin is suitable for temperatures up to approx. 130 degrees. This heat-resistant epoxy is the ideal resin for applications where increased temperature resistance is required. Due to its low viscosity, the epoxy is very suitable for impregnating fabrics by hand or by means of vacuum injection. In combination with fillers such as Stewathix, you can easily make adhesive bonds or filling compounds from this epoxy.
Benefits of this heat resistant epoxy
- Very high temperature resistance (130°C).
- Long processing time.
- Suitable for various applications (casting, vacuum injection, hand lamination etc).
Applications
The High Temp epoxy bonds excellently to glass fibre, carbon fibre and aramid fibre. This makes the resin suitable for use in high and dynamically loaded constructions. High temperature epoxy is often used for the following applications:
- Yacht building.
- Skis, snowboards, surfboards and skateboards.
- Masts and booms.
- Laminating with glass fabric.
- Laminating with carbon fabric.
- Laminating with aramid fabric.
- Etc.
Directions for use
Weigh the components according to the mixing ratio 100:30 (by weight) and mix the components well until a homogeneous mass is formed. Also include the edges and bottom of the mixing cup during mixing. After mixing, the epoxy is immediately ready for use. Apply the resin with a brush, velvet roller or by means of the vacuum injection technique. After curing the epoxy at room temperature, it is still brittle. A post-cure at at least 50°C is then necessary. The product can then be further 'postcured' free-standing. See the table below for possible post-cure cycles:
| Post-cure | Temperature | TG* |
| 20 hours | 100°C | 105-120°C |
| 20 hours | 140°C | 135-120°C |
*Glass temperature (Tg) = the temperature at which epoxy becomes rubbery and flexible.

Working time is the period during which a product remains workable after mixing or activation, usually given in minutes at a specified temperature, often 20 °C. With reactive resins, the chemical reaction also continues in the mixing container, and larger quantities or higher temperatures can shorten this time. Working time is different from gel time and full curing time.
- Approximately 90 minutes (at 20 °C)

Heat resistance describes the temperature a material can withstand after correct processing and curing, usually expressed in degrees Celsius (°C). Continuous exposure is different from a brief temperature peak, and mechanical loading may also affect the limit. Heat resistance is not the same as the temperature at which the product can be applied.
- More than 80 degrees celcius

UV stabilisation helps a material better withstand the effects of sunlight, including yellowing and deterioration of its properties. It slows ageing but does not make a resin or plastic completely resistant to UV exposure. The degree of protection varies by product.

Mixing ratio indicates how much of each component is needed, for example resin (A) and hardener (B). A ratio of 100:50 by weight means 100 grams of A to 50 grams of B; by volume you might use millilitres. Weight and volume ratios are not necessarily the same because the components may have different densities. Accurate measuring is important for proper curing.
