Additional Information

Formulate Robust, Lasting Repairs with U-Pol Plastikit Resin Tin – 1L (RE/1)

Unlock the power of durable composite repair with U-Pol Plastikit Resin, a high-quality, general-purpose polyester resin supplied in a convenient 1-litre tin (RE/1). This versatile resin is specifically engineered to be used in conjunction with glass fibre mat (sold separately) to create exceptionally strong, rigid, and waterproof repairs on a multitude of substrates. Ideal for tackling major rust holes, structural cracks, custom fibreglass fabrication, and reinforcing weakened areas on automotive panels, marine vessels, and various industrial components. Plastikit Resin cures to form a resilient, impervious bond that resists water, chemicals, and fuel, providing a permanent solution for even the most demanding repair challenges.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High-Strength Composite Foundation: Specifically formulated polyester resin designed to saturate glass fibre mat, creating robust and rigid repairs.
• Waterproof & Chemical Resistant: Cures to form an impermeable barrier, providing excellent protection against moisture ingress, rust, and common automotive fluids.
• Versatile Application: Perfect for bridging large perforations, repairing severe rust damage, reinforcing weakened structures, and fabricating custom GRP parts.
• Exceptional Adhesion: Boasts strong bonding capabilities to a wide array of materials, including steel, aluminium, GRP, wood, and concrete.
• Generous 1-Litre Volume: Provides ample resin for significant repair projects or multiple smaller applications, offering great value for professional use.
• Reliable Performance: A core component in U-Pol's trusted repair system, delivering consistent, high-quality results for lasting integrity.
• Easy to Use (with Hardener): Mixes readily with suitable hardeners (e.g., U-Pol Hardener for Plastikit Resin - UPOL CAT/5, sold separately) for controlled curing.

Application Process Summary:

• Ensure the repair area is meticulously cleaned, degreased, and prepared (free from rust and abraded to create a strong mechanical key).
• Cut glass fibre mat (sold separately) to the required size, allowing for suitable overlap.
• Mix the U-Pol Plastikit Resin with the appropriate hardener (sold separately) according to the specific ratio guidelines provided on the hardener or resin data sheet. Mix thoroughly until uniform.
• Apply the mixed resin to the prepared surface, then lay the glass fibre mat into the wet resin, ensuring full saturation by dabbing with a brush.
• Apply additional layers of resin and mat as needed to build desired thickness and strength.
• Allow the repair to cure completely (refer to technical data sheet for specific times) before sanding or overpainting.

Choose U-Pol Plastikit Resin 1L for an unyielding foundation, ensuring your structural and fibreglass repairs are built to last.
