Why Choose General Purpose Epoxy Laminating Resin from Raek Chemicals
Stronger and Tougher Than Polyester Resins
Epoxy resins are generally stronger and tougher than polyester resins. This makes the General Purpose Epoxy Laminating Resin the preferred choice for structural applications, high-performance composites, and projects requiring long-term durability.
Superior Adhesion
The resin bonds exceptionally well to fibreglass, Kevlar, carbon fibre, wood, and metal. This superior adhesion ensures reliable lamination and reduces the risk of delamination under stress or moisture exposure.
Excellent Water Resistance
The water-resistant properties of this epoxy make it unique in the laminating and manufacturing industry. It is suitable for applications exposed to moisture, humidity, and wet conditions without compromising structural integrity.
Versatile Application Range
The resin is suitable for laminating reinforcement fabrics and can also be used to produce lightweight fairing putties and mineral-based gap fillers and adhesives. This versatility reduces the need for multiple product types in the workshop.
Predictable Working and Curing Times
The resin offers a pot life of 25 minutes at 25°C, an initial set of 4–6 hours, and full cure in 7 days at 25°C. This predictable performance allows for efficient workflow planning and consistent results.
Recommended Applications
-
Fibreglass lamination and composite manufacturing.
-
Carbon fibre and Kevlar reinforcement projects.
-
Boat building and marine repairs.
-
Automotive and motorsport composite parts.
-

-
Mineral-based gap fillers and structural adhesives.
-
Mould making and tooling.
How to Use General Purpose Epoxy Laminating Resin
-
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, oil, or release agents. Cut reinforcement fabric to size before mixing.
-
Mixing: Measure Part A and Part B accurately according to the supplied ratio. Mix thoroughly for 3–5 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the mixing container.
-
Application: Apply the mixed resin to the reinforcement fabric using a brush, roller, or squeegee. Ensure full wet-out of the fabric to avoid dry spots.
-
Layering: Build up layers while the previous layer is still tacky to ensure proper bonding between laminates.
-
Curing: Allow the resin to cure undisturbed. Initial set is achieved within 4–6 hours. Full mechanical and chemical resistance develops after 7 days at 25°C.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the pot life of this resin?
The pot life is 25 minutes at 25°C. This allows sufficient working time for wetting out reinforcement fabrics and laying up multiple layers.
Can this resin be used with carbon fibre and Kevlar?
Yes. The resin is suitable for use with fibreglass, Kevlar, carbon fibre, and other reinforcement fabrics commonly used in composite manufacturing.
Is this resin stronger than polyester resin?
Yes. Epoxy resins are generally stronger and tougher than polyester resins. They also offer superior adhesion and water resistance.
Can this resin be used to make gap fillers and adhesives?
Yes. The resin can be mixed with mineral-based fillers to produce lightweight fairing putties, gap fillers, and structural adhesives.
How long does it take to cure fully?
Initial set is achieved within 4–6 hours. Full mechanical and chemical resistance develops after 7 days at 25°C.
Does delivery cover areas outside Kampala?
Yes. Delivery is available to every region in Uganda, including Jinja, Entebbe, Mbarara, Gulu, and all major towns.
