Bote Cote Epoxy Resin - Non Yellowing Pack
Description
Bote-Cote is an Australian made epoxy system specially formulated to meet the needs of wooden boats and their builders. It is highly resistant to attack by water and other chemicals and solvents and as an adhesive, it grips tenaciously to timber and other materials. In particular it is formulated to match the flex properties of timber, so that it is not brittle and will not crack away from the timber as the structure moves naturally. Its high solids formula provides an excellent moisture barrier and its fast wetting and penetrating properties make it an ideal matrix for fibreglass and other synthetic fibres. It has a thixotropic agent in the formulation to help develop an adequate coating thickness (especially on vertical or sloping panels), the single most important factor in preventing moisture reaching the substrate. The Bote-Cote formulation is a modern one. It mixes at a ratio of 2:1 resin: hardener giving an immediate benefit to the user of being easy to get the correct ratio when mixing. Bote-Cote does not exhibit amine blush. This is a waxy layer that appears on the surface of the cured epoxy that must be scrubbed off before the epoxy can be re-coated or painted. If you use a blushing epoxy, will you forever be worried whether one coat will separate from the coat under it because the blush was not fully removed. Bote-Cote has lower allergenic potential. Over the last few years, the chemical ingredient manufacturers have identified the most troublesome items and have made available materials with lower allergic risk factors. Bote-Cote uses these low allergic risk materials to the maximum extent. Bote-Cote is almost all pure epoxy liquids. Additives and extenders such as Nonyl Phenol or solvents can be found in many other epoxies and if present can degrade the strength and water resistance pf the epoxy. Bote-Cote includes an insect repellant to minimise insects landing in your new coating and doing the breast stoke across your nice finish. TPRDA can be added to the first coat that comes in contact with the timber substrate to ensure maximum penetration of the pores. This epoxy system is supplied with non-yellowing hardener making it perfect for applications where a clear coat is going to be applied over the laminate when cured.
