Furan Resin By Resins And Solvents

Furan Resin Furan Resin is a low viscosity, liquid furfuryl alcohol resin designed primarily for use in mortar cements. It is a thermoset resin requiring an acid catalyst to affect a cure. Properly catalyzed resin will cure without the application of heat, although slightly elevated temperatures will decrease the cure time. Technical Data Properties Appearance Brownish-black liquid Viscosity @ 70F., cps 200 - 400 pH 4.5 4.9 Specific Gravity @ 20C 1.22 Flash Point, F., O.C. 220 Volatiles, % 47 51 Water Content, % max. 4.0 Typical Uses Corrosion resistant mortar cements Impregnation (brake linings, abrasives, graphite) Sand/soil consolidation Molding compounds Component in wire insulation compositions Storage Conditions Optimum storage conditions are between 40 and 75F. Applications In the case of a filled resin system, such as mortar cements, solid acid catalysts may be ground or dispersed in the filler, and the acid/filler mixed with the resin at the time of use. Aqueous or alcoholic solutions may be used when liquid catalysts are desired
