WEICON Casting Resin MS 1000 is a transparent and very flowable epoxy resin system with high mechanical strength. It is suitable for a wide range of applications. MS 1000 adheres well to metal, wood, rigid foam and many plastics. It can be used for large-surface adhesive bonding or for laminating composite threaded bushes and screws. Due to its low viscosity, the epoxy resin system is also suitable for the casting of electric components. It can be used for the production of fibre composites, in tool and mould making, in the electrical industry, in machine construction, and in many other industrial fields. MS 1000 shows good wetting and penetration results of glass fabric and therefore is well-suited for laminating glass, aramid and carbon fibre for the production of fibre-reinforced components. It can also be easily combined with different fillers (powdery, fibrous, fabric).
