Description
EP 407
ALCHEMIX GELCOAT EP 407 is a two component, dolomite filled, brushable, room temperature curing surface coat. The gelcoat EP407 has high heat resistance, good edge stability, it can be repaired and polished to a smooth finish.
EP 4093
ALCHEMIX GELCOAT EP 4093 is a colourless, two component, brushable, room temperature curing surface coat. GELCOAT EP 4093 is designed for use in vacuum forming moulds, applications requiring high heat resistance and negatives where very fine surface finishes are required.
EP 4351
ALCHEMIX EP4351 is enriched with long glass fibre strands, and special fillers in a low-density epoxy resin specially formulated. After mixing both components a very smooth consistency is achieved with good and easy to spread characteristics. Used as a back filling compound to support Rigid Gelcoats and flexible casting compounds.
EP 4352
ALCHEMIX EP4352 is enriched with long glass fibre strands, and special fillers in a low-density epoxy resin specially formulated. After mixing both components a very smooth consistency is achieved with good and easy to spread characteristics. Used as a back filling compound to support Rigid Gelcoats and flexible casting compounds.
EP 502
ALCHEMIX EP 502 is a very low viscosity, laminating and casting resin, with a choice of hardeners. When used for laminating, the low viscosity of ALCHEMIX EP 502 allows excellent wetting of fibres and fillers. ALCHEMIX EP 502 is formulated for use in backfilling compositions using mineral or metallic fillers and for laminates requiring good flexural strength.
EP 504
ALCHEMIX EP 504 is a very low viscosity, cold-curing, unfilled epoxy resin system. The low viscosity resin produces excellent wetting of fibres and fillers. The rapid demould time makes this product ideally suited for track side repairs. A choice of three different hardeners is available, allowing fast cure in a variety of conditions.
EP 519
ALCHEMIX EP 519 with HARDENER H3, H7 or H8 is a cold-curing, two part, unfilled epoxy resin system. It is formulated for use in backfilling compositions using mineral or metallic fillers and for laminates requiring good flexural strength. It has excellent adhesion to metallic and insulating materials. It can also be used for applications such as coating of insulating tapes and locking of screws etc.
EP 571 / H3 (Fast) / H8 (Slow)
ALCHEMIX EP 571 is a high temperature laminating resin system. It has low viscosity, enabling good wetting of fibres and fillers. A superior modified resin system, possessing good heat distortion resistance, used with HARDENER H3 or H8 either singly or blended produces versatility in pot life and cure time. ALCHEMIX EP 571 is formulated for applications such as RIM tooling, marine, aerospace, vacuum forming tooling and other applications requiring high heat dimensional stability.

EP 574
ALCHEMIX EP 574 / H574 is a two part, ambient temperature cure, epoxy system; exhibiting outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. This system has low mixed viscosity and when cured shows excellent high temperature and physical properties. This system has excellent wetting properties for various fibre systems including glass fibre, aramid fibre and carbon fibre etc.
EP 5751/H15
ALCHEMIX EP 5751 / H15 is a two part, ambient temperature cure, epoxy system, exhibiting outstanding mechanical and thermal properties. This system has remarkably low mixed viscosity and when cured shows good material properties. This system has excellent wetting properties for various fibre systems including glass fibre, aramid fibre and carbon fibre etc.
