How to Cure Resin For Plastic Extrusion

Resin is one of the mandatory product required for any extrusion work or wooden work. It has many different purpose from plastic molding to sealing of wooden materials. The forms and colors of resin can vary for different purpose and they are specially made for some very specific applications like plastic profiles extrusion. Basically, the resins are two part liquid that will need a catalyst to harden or cure. It is primely used to joint the structure of woods and other related plastic. The catalyst that is normally used in resin is methyl ethyl ketone peroxide which is basically clear liquid. The use of such catalyst depends on the temperature of the area and other atmospheric conditions and materials used. If the weather is cold, you will need more catalyst for the resin to cure.

To cure and use resin for extrusion profiles, you can follow the below steps:

· Firstly, collect the amount of resin you will for the work in a small bucket.

· In the catalyst, add 1 to 3 percent of the total resin and mix the catalyst thoroughly in the resin with the help of sir stick. Keep stirring till the mixture becomes of one color.

· Once, the above process is done, use the resin on the mold or any other application.

· Use the heat gun and heat up the resin and it will cure the resin much faster and the mold will be firm. Don't it heat it too much or it will weaken the resin.
