RECOMMENDED APPLICATION

LAPOX K-1

White powder

--

129-131

100:30

Used with LAPOX C-1 for electrical castings. (Class B)

LAPOX K-3

White crystals

--

33

100:80

Used with casting and laminating resins and suitable accelerator. Gives good tracking resistance and UV resistance

LAPOX K-76

Liquid w/ tendency to crystallize

--

--

100:80

Similar to K-3, but being in the liquid form, is easier to process. Good UV and tracking resistance.

LAPOX K-8

Pale yellow flakes

--

75-79

100:40

Used mainly with LAPOX C-1 casting by pressure gelation.

LAPOX K-11

White powder

--

77-82

100:30

Less reactive than K-1; hence used with LAPOX C-1 for large electrical casting to minimize shrinkage stress.

LAPOX K-12

Liquid

150-200

--

100:100

Very convenient hardener for use with liquid casting resin (C-17) by vacuum or or pressure gelation. Must be used together with an accelerator

LAPOX K-61

Liquid

1500-2500

--

100:80

Used only with LAPOX C-50 for casting by pressure gelation.

LAPOX K-68

Liquid

200-350

--

100:80

Used with casting and laminating resins together with an accelerator to obtain high heat distortion temperature.

MIXING RATIOS OF GENERAL PURPOSE HARDENERS ARE WITH REFERENCE TO A STANDARD LIQUID BASIC RESIN (B-11). WHERE HARDENERS ARE INTENDED FOR USE WITH A SPECIFIC RESIN, THE RATIO REFERS TO THAT RESIN WHICH IS SPECIFICALLY INDICATED.
