Our Surfset® Eco is a clear, optically brightened, 34% recycled BIOCarbon content epoxy resin powered by LEUNA-Harze GmbH, utilising upto 20% less carbon foot print during manufacture according to Life Cycle Assesment (LCA) measuring.
Specially formulated for laminations over white substrates such as PU and EPS Foam. Cures to a hard gloss finish.
Strong functionality and high Tg’s gives this sytem excellent flexibility and bending strength. This enables the system to be ideal for the manufacture of Surfboards, wave ski’s, kayaks and other sporting laminates.
surfset® ECO BIOCarbon content of 34% is produced by the reaction of recycled BIO based oils with waste salt water.
With this unique process, CO2 emissions can be significantly reduced before and during manufacture, compared with fossil fuel based epoxy resin alternatives.
Containing no solvents, surfset® ECO offers a safer alternative to conventional polyester based materials. No GHS08 Health Hazard ingredients are used in the manufacture of surfset® resins.
Mixing
First step is to ensure you have everything read, black and glasses set up to laminate. Workout if you’re going to measure by weight or volume as rations will be slightly different:
By weight 100 parts resin to 44 parts of hardener.
By volume 2 parts resin to 1 part hardener.
If the resin and hardeners are dispensed into separate measuring contains and then poured into a common mixing container, be sure to extricate int all from the container surfaces to get the remaining material into the mixing container to assure proper proportions.
Once the products are dispensed into the mixing container, stir thoroughly, ensuring to scrape the sides and bottom of the container. Clean sticks of wood or tongue depressors can be used for stirring.
Laminating
Pour the resin mixture out on the cloth and spread it around so the entire board surface is covered. Then wet your laps by pulling resin off the flats onto the lap.
Once the resin soaks in, use a stiff plastic squeegee to remove any air or excess resin. While removing the excess rein, finish flattening the cloth on your rails and clean your laps.
Remember these key points for successful use of Surfset® epoxy
Keep things clean, keep products away from your skin, eyes and provide adequate ventilation. Ensure you mix the products thoroughly at the correct ratio.
Consult the Surfset® SDS before use.
Prior to doing any mixing ensure that all the tools you need are ready for use, including cleaners and solvents.
Planning what you will be doing and thinking of the tools that will be needed can save you a lot of headaches, particularly when attempting unfamiliar procedures.
