Q1: What are the primary curing systems compatible with ETERSET 2320?
A: ETERSET 2320 is designed for free-radical polymerization and is typically cured using organic peroxides such as methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) or benzoyl peroxide (BPO), often in combination with cobalt or amine accelerators. Selection of initiator and accelerator should be based on required gel time, ambient conditions, and end-use performance requirements.
Q2: How does ETERSET 2320 perform in terms of chemical resistance and mechanical strength after curing?
A: When properly cured, ETERSET 2320 delivers good resistance to dilute acids, alkalis, and common solvents, along with balanced tensile and flexural strength suitable for structural laminates and molded components. Performance may vary depending on reinforcement type, filler content, and post-cure conditions.
Q3: Can ETERSET 2320 be used in high-humidity or outdoor applications?
A: Yes — ETERSET 2320 exhibits low moisture absorption and good weathering stability when formulated with UV stabilizers and pigmented fillers. For long-term outdoor exposure, it is recommended to apply a protective gel coat or topcoat to enhance surface durability and gloss retention.
Q4: Is ETERSET 2320 suitable for contact-molding and resin transfer molding (RTM) processes?
A: Yes — its controlled viscosity and reactivity profile make it well-suited for both contact molding and closed-mold processes like RTM and vacuum infusion. Adjustments to initiator concentration and temperature can optimize flow behavior and demold time without compromising final part integrity.
