ISO NPG Resin (isophthalic neopentyl glycol) is especially recommended for the production of solid surface parts. It is an unsaturated polyester resin to which isophthalic acid is added. In this way we obtain a more reactive resin and with a high stiffness once cured. We can opt for pre-accelerated ISO NPG resins depending on the characteristics of our production process. Based on the extensive experience and know-how acquired in projects related to solid surfaces, we have developed a high performance ISO NPG resin specially designed for the production of solid surface parts.

To achieve improvements in hardness and resistance to the scratching of the final product, the ISO NPG resin can be additive WITH MMA (methyl methacrylate).

Advantages of using ISO NPG resin in solid surface manufacturing

Our recommendation to use this type of resins is because they offer a better:
  • hydrolysis resistance. Something that can be especially important in the case of manufactured products in dark colors. It is especially visible in wet heat and thermal shock tests.
  • abrasion and scratch resistance
  • behavior against yellowing
  • resistance to chemical agents

Resin is a living product

As a watermelon or tomato, an ISO NPG resin is a living product. Resin is manipulated and prepared by the producer under certain conditions. We should continue to kneading it to a more stable situation (catalysing). Therefore, depending on the conditions of its storage, the resin will be in better or worse conditions for its use. Even when the catalytic process is finished and the finished product is manufactured, the resin can continue to work. That is why it is so important to respect the after-curing process of the pieces.

Conclusion

ISO NPG resins are especially recommended for the production of solid surface parts. Its characteristics ensure greater resistance of the final product (hydrolysis, scratching, abrasion, yellowing and resistance to chemical agents). Based on the extensive experience and know-how acquired in projects related to solid surface, AITANA CHEMICALS has developed a high performance ISO NPG resin specially designed for the production of solid surface parts.
