DESCRIPTION
Vicast A717-L Series is a high reac-
tivity, prepromoted ISO/NPG Acrylic
Modified solid surface casting resin.
This resin has been designed to be
used to produce solid color and
granite effect sheets and bowls.
Vicast A717-L Series is designed to
provide extreme versatility in select-
ing the combination of gel time and
viscosity that suits the specific man-
ufacturing process, working condi-
tions and raw materials.

PERFORMANCE GUID ELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of the total resin
weight.
B. Maintaining shop temperatures
between 65 F/ 18 C and 90 F/32 C
and humidity between 40% and 90%
will help the fabricator make a high
quality part. Consistent shop conditions
contribute to consistent gel times.
C. Sanding and/or grinding is recom-
mended if a secondary bond is applied
to a laminate that was made with a
resin containing wax.
STORAGE STABILITY
This product is stable for three months
from the date of manufacture when
stored in the original containers, away
from direct sunlight or other UV light
sources and at or below 77 F/25 C.
Storage stability of two months or less
should be anticipated if the storage
temperature exceeds 86 F/30 C.
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in the product viscosity and gel
time.
SAFETY
See the appropriate Safety Data Sheet
for guidelines.
ISO 9001:2008 CERTIFIED
The Quality Management Systems at
every AOC manufacturing facility have
been certified as meeting ISO
9001:2008 standards. This certifica-
tion recognizes that each AOC facility
has an internationally accepted model
in place for managing and assuring
quality. We follow the practices set
forth in this model to add value to the
resins we make for our customers.
FOOTNOTES
(1.) Based on tests at 77 F/25 C and 50% rela-
tive humidity. All tests performed on unreinforced
cured resin castings. Thixotropic components, if
applicable, are excluded from casting samples.
Castings were post cured.
(2.) The gel times shown are typical but may be affected
by catalyst, promoter, inhibitor concentration, resin,
mold, and shop temperature. Variations in gelling char-
acteristics can be expected between different lots of
catalysts and at extremely high humidities. Pigment
and/or filler can retard or accelerate gelation. It is rec-
ommended that the fabricator check the gelling charac-
teristics of a small quantity of resin under actual operat-
ing conditions prior to use.
