POLYESTER FILLER S YSTEM
MACHINABLE / RIGID
DESCRIPTION
The most versatile of all set-fast filler pastes, AP014 ULTRA FILLER is a two component filler system which
yields a smooth, creamy, thixotropic and workable paste with superior handling, set-fast characteristics
and dimensional stability. Once applied it forms a rigid, strong surface which can be machined, sanded,
filed or scraped to a feather edge. A P014 adheres and bonds to fiberglass, SMC, RIM, BMC, Graphite,
Kevlar
and other types of composites as well as aluminum, steel, grey iron, copper, plaster, models,
patterns and other substrates. AP014 offers the industry manufacturer a wide variety of applications for
bonding, filling, sealing and finishing with optimum physical properties. AP014 ULTRA FILLER can be
applied without pin-holing and exhibits no shrink or sink after curing. It accepts virtually all types of
finishes e.g., lacquer, enamel, polyurethane, epoxy, etc., without any special surface preparation. It is a
“no bleed out” system after finishing or if covered with a decorative film. Its high quality, coupled with
the set-fast feature offers industry substantial savings in time and labor plus top quality in the finished
product. AP014 can be used in areas of final fabrication, production, tooling, model & pattern making,
repair operations and in many other applications. Typical applications include: filling composites surface
porosity, honeycomb panel edge filler, bonding loose pieces and details, vacuum mold repair and
modifications, urethane mold repairs and modifications, FRP composite repairs, pattern repairs and
fillets, core box repairs and modifications, void and porosity filling, router fixture repairs, crack, dent and
crevice repair, temporary holding fixtures, filling cloth impressions in pre-preg, non-conductive barrier
potting, RIM/SMC/BMC surface filler, bonding inserts/hangers, urethane part repair, potting stripped
threads, renewing worn surfaces and many others.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE GUIDE
AP014 Ultra Filler combines saturated and unsaturated Polyester resins of medium to high reactivity. As an aid to the user,
chemical resistance evaluations were conducted using a modification of ASTM 0543-60T.
TESTING PROCEDURE
Samples nominally sized at 1/2″ x 1″ x 4″ were immersed halfway in 4 ounces of reagent and stored for 12 months at ambient
temperature. Reagents were swirled monthly, and specimens were rated every 4 weeks.

PROCESSING
PROCESSING CONDITIONS
Thoroughly blend 100 parts resin with 2 parts hardener by weight for 1 to 1 minutes in clean
dry container or on a clean dry surface.
Carefully scrape the surfaces while blending to ensure complete mixing and uniformity.
SURFACE PREPARATION and APPLICATION
The area to be filled or repaired should be thoroughly cleaned, roughened, cleaned again
and dried to allow for the best possible adhesion.
The mixed A P014 should be buttered into the area, avoiding trapping air during application.
After curing to a tack-free state, the material can be sanded and finished as needed.
MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
Stir contents of can thoroughly using a spatula or putty knife. Place the required amount of filler
and cream hardener on a disposable clean surface. Mix 100 parts paste to 2 parts BPO cream
hardener by weight; i.e. approximatly size of golf ball (paste) to a two inch strip of BPO catalyst. Set
up time of mix at room temperature will be 5-10 minutes. After 15-20 minutes the filler may be
filed or sanded to final finish.
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
Normal health and safety precautions should be observed when handling these products :
Ensure good ventilation.
Wear gloves, glasses and protective clothes.
For further information, please consult the Safety Data Sheets.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Product shelf life of polyester resin is 12 months when stored in original unopened containers
between 65 77 F (15 25 C). Any opened can must be tightly closed. Product shelf life of BPO
hardener is 18 months when stored in original unopened containers between 65 77 F (15 25 C).
Any opened can must be tightly closed.
Polyester resin contains filler which has the potential to separate in time, please re-homogenize
prior to use.
