ALTEK

H834-R SERIES POLYESTER RESIN
PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.25% – 2.0% of the total
resin weight.

B. Maintain shop temperatures be-
tween 65 F/18 C and 90 F/32 C
and humidity between 40% and 90%
and 90% will help the fabricator
make a high quality part. Consistent
shop conditions contribute to con-
sistent gel times viscosity.

C. Sanding and/or grinding is recom-
mended if a secondary bond is ap-
plied 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 contain-
ers, away from direct sunlight or oth-
er UVA light sources and at or below
77 F/25 C.

Storage stability of two months or
less should be anticipated if the stor-
age temperature exceeds
86 F/30 C.

After extended storage, some drift
may occur in the product viscosity
and gel time.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Due to the excellent curing character-
istics of Altek H834-R Series resin,
complete all secondary bonding as
soon as possible. Exposing the lami-
nate to sunlight will result in severe
secondary bonding problems. After
24 hours of cure, it may be necessary
to abrade the laminate to insure good
secondary bonding, especially if the
surface of the laminate is resin rich.
Avoid low fiberglass content and res-
in puddling with this product.

To assure adequate bonding to gel
coats, fabricators should pre-wet the
gel coat surface with a thin pass of
catalyzed resin prior to lamination.

Chemical resistance studies indicate
that resins like H834-R Series have
every poor resistance to certain hy-
drophobic liquids such as hydrocar-
bons. Fuel storage tanks should not
be produced with H834-R Series res-
ins.

If your manufacturing needs re-
quire a more corrosion resistant res-
in, please contact your AOC repre-
sentative for information or technical
assistance on AOC’s line of isophthal-
ic or vinyl ester resins.

FOOTNOTES
(1.) Based on tests run at 77 F/25 C and 50%
relative humidity. All tests performed on unrein-
forced cured resin castings. Thixotropic compo-
nents, if applicable, are excluded from casting
samples. Castings are post cured.
.
(2.) The gel times shown are typical but may be
affected by catalyst, promoter, inhibitor concen-
tration, resin, mold, and shop temperature. Varia-
tions in gelling characteristics can be expected
between different lots of catalysts and at ex-
tremely high humidities. Pigment and/or filler can
retard or accelerate gelation. It is recommended
that the fabricator check the gelling characteris-
tics of a small quantity of resin under actual
operating conditions prior to use.

PERFORMANCE GUID ELINES
A. Keep full strength catalyst levels
between 1.0% – 2.0% of the total res-
in weight.

B. Maintain shop temperatures be-
tween 65 F/18 C and 90 F/32 C
and humidity between 40% and 90%.
Consistent shop conditions contrib-
ute to consistent gel times and will
help the fabricator make a high quali-
ty part.

STORAGE STABILITY
Resins are stable for three months
from date of production when stored
in the original containers away from
sunlight at no more than 70 F/21 C.

During the hot summer months, no
more than two months stability at
86 F/30 C should be anticipated.
After extended storage, some drift may
occur in gel time and viscosity.

Storage in plastic totes made out of
materials such as polyethylene (PE) or
polypropylene (PP), in particular trans-
lucent PE/PP, will accelerate gel for-
mation and result in a significantly re-
duced storage stability.

Storage of this resin outdoors in
translucent plastic totes may reduce
the storage stability to only a few
weeks. AOC cannot assume responsi-
bility for gel formation under these
storage conditions.
APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Due to the curing characteristics of
the Hydropel H034-A Series resin, it
is desirable to complete all secondary
bonding as soon as possible. Expo-
sure of the laminate to the sunlight
will result in severe bonding prob-
lems. After 24 hours of cure, it may
become necessary to abrade the lam-
inate to insure good secondary bond-
ing, especially if the surface of the
laminate has been allowed to be-
come resin rich. Low fiberglass con-
tent and resin puddling should be
avoided with this product.

To assure adequate bonding to gel
coats, fabricators should pre-wet the
gel coat surface with a thin pass of
catalyzed resin prior to lamination.

Chemical resistance studies indicate
that resins like Hydropel H034-A Se-
ries have poor resistance to certain
hydrophobic liquids, such as hydro-
carbons. Fuels storage tanks should
not be produced with the Hydropel
H034-A Series resin.

If your manufacturing needs require a
more corrosion resistant resin,
please contact your AOC representa-
tive for information or technical assis-
tance on AOC’s line of isophthalic or
vinyl ester resins.
