Special Features and Benefits
BYK-A 501 is a highly effective air release additive for virtually all unsaturated polyester resins and processing techniques and is also recommended for epoxy resin systems.
Recommended Use
Particularly recommended for unsaturated polyester resins and epoxy resins, gel coats and casting systems.
Recommended Levels
0.1-0.5% additive (as supplied) based on the total formulation. The above recommended levels can be used for orientation. Optimal levels are determined through a series of laboratory tests.
Incorporation and Processing Instructions : Stir in the resin before adding other components. In some resins, air release additives may cause haze in the finished part.
