West System Epoxy Slow is a transparent, low-viscosity epoxy resin that delivers excellent performance across a wide range of applications. When combined with 206 Slow Hardener, it forms a slow-curing epoxy system that is ideal for projects requiring a long working time.
This epoxy system provides a strong, moisture-resistant, and durable bond and can be used as an adhesive, filler, or laminating resin in various industries.
Benefits of West System Epoxy Slow
- Long working time and controlled curing.
- Excellent adhesion.
- Suitable for a wide range of applications.
Note: this system is not suitable as a clear finish. For that purpose, use RESION UV Epoxy (casting resin) or RESION UV Clear Coat.
Applications
Like other universal epoxy resins, West System Epoxy Slow can be used for bonding and laminating:
- Wood fibres
- Glass fibres
- Reinforcing fabrics
- Composite materials
- Various metals
Directions for use
- Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and grease-free.
- Mix 5 parts 105 Epoxy Resin with 1 part 206 Slow Hardener (ratio 5:1).
- Stir the mixture thoroughly for at least 3 minutes, including along the edges and bottom of the container. Only mix the amount you can use within the pot life.
- Optionally, add fillers to modify the resin.
- Apply the epoxy with a brush, roller, or spatula. The working time is approximately 30 minutes at 25°C.
- For laminating: ensure complete saturation of the fabric.
- For bonding: apply a thin layer of epoxy to both surfaces.
- Allow the material to cure for approximately 9–12 hours.
- Sand or overcoat only once the epoxy is fully cured.
Tip: use the handy West System pump sets to easily dispense resin and hardener in the correct ratio.

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 30 minutes (at 25 °C)
- Colour
- Transparant / light yellow

The tasks a product is intended for, such as laminating, casting, bonding, sealing or protecting. Products intended for the same application can differ considerably in processing, curing time and final properties.
- Glue, Laminate, Putty

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.
- No

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.
- 5:1 (by weight)
-
Minimum application temperature is the lowest temperature at which a product may be used according to the manufacturer. The limit can apply to the air, substrate and product itself.
At lower temperatures, resins and coatings can become thicker and cure more slowly. Moisture can also condense on a cold substrate and reduce adhesion. Check the dew point and measure the surface temperature before starting. A longer drying time does not automatically make application below the specified minimum acceptable.
- 16 °C
-
Curing time is the period a product needs to reach a specified stage of cure. It is usually given in hours or days, often at a reference temperature such as 20 °C. A product may be tack-free or safe to handle before reaching its full mechanical and chemical resistance. Film thickness and mixed quantity may also affect the time.
- 9-12 hours (at 25 °C)
