Crystic Crestapol® High Performance Resins

    Crystic Crestapol® 1210 / 1220PA / 1230 - a new range of hybrid high performance resins offering designers alternative products to more traditional acrylic and epoxy thermoset materials which can be manufactured by closed mould, hand-lay and pultrusion, for a variety of applications in building & construction, transportation and marine.


    Crystic Crestapol® 1230
    A laminating resin for use in injection RTM and pultrusion applications with good high temperature performance, high strength and toughness. Outstanding heat
    deflection temperature up to 275°C and exceptional barcol hardness.


    Key Features:

    • Very High heat deflection temperature
    • Good high temperature performance

    Unlike other resins with such a high heat deflection temperature, Crestapol 1230 has high strength and elongation, imparting excellent toughness to the cured resin.
