DESCRIPTION
MAX 1618 A/B is our newest ultra-clear resin system engineered by our R&D laboratories that specifically addresses the performance aspects of absolute crystal clarity and resistance to yellowing from sunlight exposure while demonstrating high mechanical performance suitable for structural composites fabrication.
MAX 1618 A/B is our lowest viscosity resin formulation which makes it suitable for adding fillers and powders. It is also suitable for many bonding and impregnating applications where its low viscosity yields excellent wetting and resin saturation.
MAX 1618 is an excellent resin system for wood, metals, stone and pottery products and for general composite fabrication for fiberglass, carbon fiber, aramid and other composite fabrication fabrics.
