EPIKOTE^TM Resin Systems	Suitability		Curing Conditions
EPIKOTE^TM Resin Systems	Mass Production	Class A Finish	Time[min]	Temp[^oC]	Glass Transition Temp [°C] (DSC Midpoint)	Process	Typical Applications
EP TRAC 06150 EK TRAC 06150 HA TRAC 06805			10-30 min + optional postcure	80^oC-100^oC	100^oC-120^oC	RTM LCM	Automotive surface parts: Roof top, Hood, Deck lid, Door panela, Pillars
	Remarks: High quality surface finish, good carbon fiber wetting, short cycle time. This system can be combined with internal Mold Release HELOXY Additive 112.
EP TRAC 06300 EK TRAC 06300			8-20 min	80^oC-100^oC	100^oC-130^oC	RTM	Automotive surface parts: Roof top, Hood, Deck lid, door panels, Pillars
	Remarks: High quality surface finish, good carbon fiber wetting, short cycle time
EP TRAC 06300 EK TRAC 06315 HA TRAC 06805			20-30 mins.	90^oC	130^oC-140^oC (after postcure)	RTM Gap-RTM	Automotive surface parts; Roof top, Hood, Deck lid, Door panels, Pillars
	Remarks: High quality surface finish, good carbon fiber wetting, short cycle time, low chemical and thermal shrinkage. This system can be combined with internal Mold Release HELOXY Additive 112.
EP TRAC 06310 EK TRAC 06310			30-60 mins. + optional postcure at 120^oC-150^oC	80^oC-85^oC	95^oC or 130^oC-150^oC (after postcure)	RTM	Automotive surface parts: Roof top, Hood, Deck lid, door panels, Pillars
	Remarks: High quality surface finish, good hot wet performance. This system offers a very long injection window and is very robust for large parts.
EP TRAC 06425 EK TRAC 06465 EK Catalyst TRAC 06825			3-5 mins. 130^o-150^oC or 90 sec + postcure	135^o-150^oC	135^o-140^oC E' onset DMA	Prepreg / Compression molding	Automotive surface parts: Roof top, Hood, Deck lid, Door panels, Pillars
	Remarks: Prepreg applications, featuring rapid cure speeds and high glass transition temperatures particular suited for demanding high volume applictaions.
EP TRAC 06465 EK TRAC 06465 EK Catalyst TRAC 06825			3-5 mins. 150^o-170^oC or 90 sec + postcure	150^o-170^oC	165^o-175^oC E' onset DMA	Prepreg / Compression molding	Automotive surface parts: Roof top, Hood, Deck lid, Door panels, Pillars
	Remarks: Prepreg applications, featuring rapid cure speeds and high glass transition temperatures particular suited for demanding high volume applictaions.
