Highly concentrated, luminous pigment pastes for colouring epoxy resins.
All supplied EP colour pastes comply with the RAL colour chart.

Quantity added approx. 10 % by weight
(for overlays; usually less is sufficient for laminates).

Available colours:
pure white (RAL 9010), gentian Blue (RAL 5010), silver grey (RAL 7001),
emerald green (RAL 6001)

Highly concentrated, luminous pigment pastes

• · Mix easily
• · Max light fastness
• · Almost unlimited shelf life

Pigment pastes for colouring polyester resins. The binder is a styrene-free
polyester resin, so the colour paste must first be mixed into the resin
constituent before the hardener is dosed to the specified mixing ratio.
Quantity added to the resin approx. 10 % by weight (for overlays;
usually less is sufficient for laminates).

All supplied UP colour pastes comply with the RAL colour chart.

Available colours:
gentian blue (RAL 5010), flame red (RAL 3000), silver grey (RAL 7001),
zink yellow (RAL 1018)

Aluminium-coated, on both sides glossy
Jaquard weave, width 102 cm

Application:
Design-Glass fabric is a high-gloss aluminium-coloured fabric that can provide surfaces with an exquisite and unusual visual appeal.

Ideal for flat and spheric components like skis, snowboards, car parts (engine cowlings, air filter covers, etc.), and furniture (tabletops), semi-monocoques for safety helmets and bicycle parts (frames) etc.

Design-Glass fabrics are glass-based fabrics metallized on both sides. This special finish provides components with surfaces of a highly metallic lustre. A high-gloss depth of effect is obtained when the fabric is impregnated with epoxy or polyester resins.

Design-Glass fabric is available as a dry fabric from R&G and can be cut to size with great precision. Its metallised surface makes it slip-resistant.

As a basic material, basalt is a black, alkaline extrusive rock.

Properties:
With only 5 % higher density than the conventional E glass fibre, basalt fibre offers in comparison with it a 15 % higher tensile strength, higher compressive strength and rigidity (modulus of elasticity). The thermal stability is extremely high, the fibres themselves only begin to melt at 1450 °C. Thechemical endurance, especially against strong acids, lyes and solvents, is very good.

Comparision of the technical data of Basalt fibre and (E-glass fibre):

Density (g/cm³): 2,75 (2,60)
Tensile strength (MPa): 4840 (3450)
Compressive strength (MPa): 3792 (3033)
Modulus of elasticity (MPa): 89000 (77000)
Elongation at break (%): 3,15 (4,70)

Application:
Applications, which, with regard to rigidity and strength, fall between E glass and HT carbon fibre, e.g. spars, force transfer points, wound components, profiles etc. in automotive engineering, the construction of sports equipment, model making, aviation industry and production of receptacles. Suitable for epoxy, vinyl ester and polyester resins.
