6157 TAX – Orthophthalic Polyester Resin
Industrial-grade orthophthalic polyester resin (1000kg) for large-scale marine and composite production. Lloyd’s certified, thixotropic, and pre-accelerated, it offers superior wetting and structural strength for hulls and industrial components.
The Fenapol 6157 TAX (1000 kg) is the ultimate industrial solution for large-scale composite manufacturing. This orthophthalic lamination resin is both thixotropic and pre-accelerated, specifically engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional shipyards and industrial plants.
With its Lloyd’s Register certification, it guarantees the highest safety and quality standards for structural marine applications. Its optimized viscosity ensures a perfect balance between rapid fiber wetting and zero-sag performance on large vertical surfaces.
✔ Industrial Efficiency → 1000kg IBC format for continuous production lines.
✔ Excellent Wetting → Minimizes air bubbles and ensures a solid, homogeneous laminate.
✔ Anti-Sagging (Thixotropic) → Stays in place even on large vertical molds or hulls.
✔ Pre-accelerated → Ready for use with MEKP catalyst, streamlining the manufacturing process.
✔ Lloyd’s Certified → Approved for structural use in the maritime industry.
✔ High Mechanical Resistance → Engineered for durability and long-term stress.
