- Recommended Use Level
HECTGEL RD is typically used at levels of 0.1% to 1% by weight of the system, depending upon the degree of thickening or other properties desired.
Properties
- Incorporation Information
- HECTGEL RD does not require heat or a chemical activator to reach the proper activation.
- HECTGEL RD can be incorporated directly into the resin. However, in unsaturated and vinyl esters systems, preparation of an 8-12% pregel in styrene is recommended to achieve optimal efficiency. For post-adding HECTGEL RD high shear is required.
