ER Resin

E-R Resin

Our E-R Resin is impermeable to air resulting in airtight laminations. It is ideal for manufacture of strong, light, stable, passive and active vacuum sockets, without the need for an inner liner.

Completed sockets are heat adjustable and repairable and can be laminated lighter & stronger than traditional acrylic and polyester resin sockets.

1. We recommend using use SpectraCarb from Comfort Products to achieve high strength composite laminations while maintaining the ability to heat and manipulate finished socket.
2. Unlimited product shelf life removes the risk of the resin becoming outdated. E-R Resin will not set until Part A and PArt B are mixed.
3. E-R Resin is Crystal Clear ensuring clarity and high gloss finish especially when using fabrics and colors for personalized socket finishes.
4. Soap and water clean-up providing a safer environment with no need for use of solvents such as acetone.
5. No HazMat shipping fees to provide greater savings on your orders.

E-R Resin kit includes:

1. 1 gallon (3.8L) Part A Resin
2. 1/2 gallon (1.9L) Part B Hardener

Mixing Instructions: Mixing ratio - 100 parts Part A to 40 parts Part B.

1. Measure Part B in mixing container first. We recommend adding a thin coat of Part B to the sides of your mixing container by tilting slightly and allowing the resin to "run" slightly up the sides of the container prior to adding part A. This will allow ease of mixing.
2. Next add Part A. please note that this will be quite thick.
3. Mix the two parts thoroughly noting that the mixture will become slightly cloud at first before becoming completely clear. This takes approximately 60 seconds.
4. Once well mixed and clear you are now ready to pour into your lamination. If using pigment, add at this stage and mix thoroughly before pouring.  

Curing & Working Times

1. 12 to 14 minutes working time on average.
2. 30 minutes to take off vacuum after gelling up.
3. Curing takes many different forms with Epoxy. The following suggestions are what we believe to be the most practical for P&O application.
4. Laminate late afternoon & leave overnight (note: this does not need to be under continuous vacuum).
5. After initial setting (approx. 1hour), gently heat using the lower setting of a heat gun and allow to cool again. Repeat this process 3 times.
6. Place under a salon style hair dryer for 1 hour.
7. After removing from vacuum, place in an oven at 52°C (125 F) for 1 hour.

The above options will create the strongest cure for your sockets. You do not have to use all of them, just one.
