FT 8815

FLAME-RETARDANT POLYESTER RESINS

DESCRIPTION                                                      The FT8815 series are low-viscosity,

                                                                            high solids, general purpose flame­

                                                                            retardant* polyester resins. These

                                                                            extensively-tested resins provide smooth

                                                                            gelcoat surfaces, excellent fiberglass wetout

                                                                            and positive curing performance, making

                                                                            their ideal for a variety or general-purpose

                                                                            flame-retardant FRP applications. In

                                                                            addition, incorporation of aluminum

                                                                            trihydrate allows FT8815 resins to meet

                                                                            stringent smoke emission and smoke

                                                                            toxicity specifications.
