    Boatex is an epoxy laminating system formulated for optimum performance under conventional use conditions. It provides high strength and stiffer laminates than conventional epoxies. The system uses one resin that can be cured with two different hardeners to provide a range of properties. Choosing different hardener combinations allows users to tailor the system for their specific application and working time. It is suitable for vacuum bagging and curing at room temperature or with heat acceleration.

    BOATEX EPOXY RESIN

    epigen BTX Laminating System

    Boatex is an epoxy laminating system specifically


    formulated to provide optimium performance under
    conventional use conditions.
    FEATURES
    The basis of the system is one resin that can be used
    with either of two curatives. The curatives may be High strength laminates
    mixed to form a hybrid of the individual curatives to
    provide for a range of practical outcomes. Stiffer and tougher laminates than conventional
    Whether professional boatbuilders or industrialist are general purpose epoxy
    working with cored fibre composites, solid fabrication of
    heavy duty laminates, or simple repairs, Boatex is Free of all solvents - zero VOC.
    suitable for use in simple room temperature cured Engineered for high mechanical strength.
    fibreglass work to post cured carbon laminates where
    higher than normal properties are required. Versatility in application.

    Choose the hardeners combination to best suit your


    PROFILE application and working time.

    Colour All parts are water clear/amber Suitable for vacuum bagging, allowing enough time to
    Ratio by weight All parts are 4 “A” to 1 “B” consolidate and apply vacuum before gel.

    CURE
    Variations in cure may arise due to the amount of material being applied, the thickness of material being applied, the
    surface temperature, and the product temperature. The cure may be increased by heating product or by leaving mixed
    material stand for 15 minutes before use. The cure may be decreased by cooling the product before mixing.
