ALITA 239 – Ideal for High-Strength, Heat-Resistant Pultruded Composites

Principal Properties & Application:

ALITA 239 resin is an isophthalic unsaturated polyester resin made primarily from isophthalic acid, featuring medium viscosity, high reactivity, and excellent colorability. ALITA 239 resin products offer high mechanical strength, good chemical resistance, and low sensitivity to fractures, resulting in a long fatigue life. With excellent heat resistance, this resin is perfectly suited for pultrusion molding processes, making it an ideal choice for producing high-quality pultruded grilles and other pultruded composite materials.

Liquid resin technical indicators:

Note: Gel time test at 25°C: 25°C water bath, add 0.9g accelerator (1% Co) and 0.9g M-50 (Nouryon) to 50g resin.

Physical properties of the casting (for reference only):

Note:
The casting method is performed according to GB/T 8237-2005, curing system: promoter 0.6% Co Naph 1.0%, curing agent Enox BPO-50F 1%;
Casting: 4mm thick, post-curing conditions are: room temperature × 24h, 60℃ × 3h, 110℃ × 2h.

Usage instructions:

1. ALITA 239 resin does not contain wax, accelerator, or thixotropic agent.
2. The recommended curing system for pultrusion processes is BPO curing agent 0.5-2.0% and TBPB curing agent 0.5-1.5%. The actual selection should be based on specific equipment, products, process temperature, pultrusion speed, and other factors. When making thick products, it is recommended to add a low shrinkage agent to reduce the shrinkage rate.
3. For higher corrosion resistance requirements, it is recommended to choose epoxy vinyl ester ALITA 901 resin.

Handling and Storage:

This resin contains ingredients which could be harmful if mishandled. Contact with skin and eyes should be avoided and necessary protective equipment and clothing should be worn.
Drums – It is highly recommended that all material is stored at stable temperatures below 25°C (77°F). Avoid exposure to heat sources such as direct sunlight or steam pipes. To avoid contamination of product with water, do not store outdoors. Keep sealed to prevent moisture pick-up and monomer loss. Rotate stock.
