Features:
- GENERAL PURPOSE LAMINATING RESIN – This advanced ortho polyester resin works for repair and new construction. Secures fiberglass cloth, composite fabrics, woods, metals, and other fiberglass surfaces to increase strength, resilience, and long-term durability.
- EASY TO USE AND LAYER– Our polyester resin stays tacky between layers and provides a reliable hold. It does not require sanding between layers. Use our finishing resin or a wax for a tack free finish on the last layer.
- VERSATILE WITH FAST WET OUT – A fast wet-out means you can apply this poly laminating resin to composite parts including marine, general purpose laminating, aero-space, fiber reinforced plastic parts, auto body, transportation, wood and other DIY projects.
- MEKP CATALYST INCLUDED – This polyester laminating resin kit includes an MEKP hardener to help control gel time for a strong finish. Adjust the hardener quantity depending on the desired gel time, from 1 tsp/quart for slow gel to 3tsp/quart for fast gel time.
- STORAGE TEMPERATURES - Store resin in cool, dry area out of direct sunlight in temperatures below 77°F.

Details: Details: Ortho Polyester Resin is a general purpose orthophthalic (ortho) polyester bonding and laminating resin. It cures with a surface tack for better adhesion between layers. Because of the surface tack there is no need for sanding between each layer. Orca 200 is pre-promoted for curing at room temperature with the addition of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) initiator. MEKP catalyst is sold separately. Orca 200 has a clear amber tint to it. Uses: -Boat construction and repair -Molding, fabrication and repair of fiberglass laminates -Spray up process -Hand lay-up application -Base resin for polyester fairing putties and structural compounds Application: -Work area and resin should be between 70°F and 75°F for best results. -Make sure the work area is well ventilated and wear proper safety clothing including gloves and a face mask. -MEKP catalyst is needed for polyester resin to cure. It should be added between 1-2% based on the volume of the resin. More or less than this will cause an improper cure. Cure time and pot life will vary depending on percentage of MEKP added and the temperature of the room. If 1% MEKP is added, there will be a longer pot life and it will cure slower than if 1.5% or 2% MEKP is added. Same goes for temperature. Lower temperatures result in a slower pot life/cure time than if working in higher temperatures. Orca 200 is promoted to gel in 17-23 minutes at 77°F when catalyzed at 1 percent (approx. 1 tsp per pint). -Apply using a fiberglass roller, brush, spreader or squeegee -No need for sanding between layers -For the final layer, a finishing resin can be used to create a hard, tack-free surface. Finishing resin contains wax which rises to the top when cured and seals off the air. -Uncured polyester resin can be removed from tools and equipment with acetone.
