Epoxy resin systems - wood

Wood is considered an excellent material in many fields of application, including marine construction. The association of modern epoxy resins with wood has greatly enhanced its technical potential and range of application. Sicomin have developed resins systems specifically suited for working with wood.

SR 5550* Wood Epoxy system

SR 5550 has been especially formulated for building marine composites: bonding, laminating and wood protection.

It has an excellent adhesion to all type of wood. This system is handy with its adjustable working time: 5 hardeners available. It has a low viscosity and is crystallisation free. Excellent for bonding reinforcement materials such as Glass or Carbon onto wood.

Suitable for room temperature applications, gives a high gloss finish, a low surface pollution and is UV stable.
