FILCO® 303HP is an epoxy resin crafted into a non-ionic water emulsion, specifically tailored as a film former within glass fiber sizings. Presenting as a milky liquid, its distinguishing characteristics include purity as a pure epoxy resin, an epoxy equivalent weight of 200g, a narrow particle size distribution, and remarkable mechanical shear stability when the emulsion is diluted.

Functions: Film Former

Chemical Family: Epoxy & Epoxy Derivatives

Compatible Polymers & Resins: Unsaturated Polyester (UPE)

Storage and Shelf Life Conditions
  • FILCO® 303HP should be stored in closed containers away from direct sun rays, at temperature between +5 and +30°C. In these conditions maximum suggested storage time is 6 months from production, in the original package. After that date product must be rechecked.
  • During storage a slight settlement can take place, which can easily be eliminated by careful stirring. Prevent from freezing.
