Applications of Epoxy Resin

This article applies to clear rigid epoxy resin  systems, which are specially formulated for decorative applications including casting, lamination and bonding. It is totally clear and UV stabilized giving excellent optical properties with negligible to no shrinkage on curing.

 

Preparation of Epoxy Resin

It can be used for casting decorative parts featuring a long working time, ease of use and low exotherm. Ensure ambient material and workshop temperature is between 18 to 25ºC and humidity level below 70%.


Mixing is critical and must be accurate. 2 parts resin for 1 part of hardener will provide a hard casting once cured. Pour the hardener first then the resin.

The combined liquids must be thoroughly mixed manually or mechanically to completely remove any haziness or streaks, scraping the sides and base of the mixing pot then transferring the mix to a second container and stirring is best practice for good castings.

An entirely homogeneous mix is essential in achieving optimal results. It is important to only mix the correct quantity at a time as epoxy systems tend to exotherm when kept in a mass.

(Mixing by weight: 100g resin to 42g hardener pro rata)

Application to Mould

It can then be poured into a mould. The mould can be a hard mould or made of silicone rubber. Moulding can be carried out by gravity or under vacuum.

It does not trap air easily and does not heat up when used properly. Temperature should be between 18 to 25ºC. Humidity level below 70%. Pot life is as follows for a 500g mix at 22ºC 2+1 mix=10 hours.

The hard mix (2+1) will provide a hard casting, suitable for manufacture of fancy shapes, decorative items etc. Should a new mix be applied onto cured resin, the contact surface should always be sanded in order to enhance adhesion.

Curing Process
Parts can be released after the following time at 22ºC. 2+1 mix =19 hours

Uses of Epoxy Resin

Epoxy resin is known for its strong adhesive qualities, making it a versatile product in many industries. It offers resistance to heat and chemical applications, making it an ideal product for anyone needing a strong hold under pressure. Epoxy resin is also a durable product which can be used with various materials, including: wood, fabric, glass, china or metal.

Video: 3D River Table Made from Epoxy Resin

Using Epoxy Resin as Adhesives

One of the most common uses of epoxy resin is for adhesive purposes. That’s because the strong-properties of the epoxy allow for structural and engineering adhesives. Commonly, epoxy resin is used in the construction of vehicles, snowboards, aircrafts and bicycles. But epoxy adhesives aren’t limited to only structural applications. In fact, they can be used in virtually any application. Generally speaking, epoxy is used due to its diverse options in setting. It can become flexible or rigid, varying in the opaque and transparent options.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Electronics and Electrical Systems

Placing an important part in the electronics industry, epoxy resin is used in the production of insulators, motors, transformers and generators. As epoxy resins are fantastic insulators and offers protection from dust, moisture and short circuits it remains one of the primary resins used in circuit creation too.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Painting

Known as powder coatings, epoxy paint is found on many household goods like dryers, washers, stoves and similar white goods. Typically, this type of paint is used in more commercial settings. With a water clean-up and tough, protective coating, epoxy paint is an excellent option for appliances. Likewise, cast iron, cast aluminium and cast steel are also other metals which work well with this painting application.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Coatings and Sealant

Epoxy is also known for its corrosion prevention properties, making it an ideal solution to many household objects which may normally rust with time. Items including paint cans, metal containers, and foods which are typically acidic are normally coated before use.

Another use for epoxy resin is the decorative flooring applications. Chip flooring, terrazzo flooring and other aggregate flooring options are coated with an epoxy resin. Epoxy flooring is an environmentally friendly option to traditional flooring options as it reduces the need for pesticides and water consumption.

 

Using Epoxy Resin for Repairs

Because of the strong adhesive properties, many consumers use epoxy resin for the repair and maintenance of their household objects. Fragile items like glass, ceramic and china can be fixed quickly with an epoxy resin, helping secure broken or snapped items to the original piece. Likewise, epoxy resin can also be used on many other materials in a similar fashion. Wood, metal, latex or other similar synthetic materials can also be repaired as well. By using the epoxy resin over an otherwise fragile piece, you’ll create a thin, tightly formed barrier which attaches securely and holds in place over the years.

Swimming Pool Design

Our highly skilled designers work closely with architects and clients on the design and build of pools, spas and leisure areas for both private and commercial installations.

At the project concept stage, we have a detailed discussion with the architect, without charge, to enable initial concepts to move forward to a design principal. A flow of workable ideas allows us to supply a preliminary performance specification – this is priced prior to nomination. Upon commission, we consult with the project structural engineer and then submit detailed drawings for construction.

Once the client has confirmed the core concept for the pool and/or spa installation, our designers take full responsibility for the project, from initial design through to construction and landscaping where relevant. We provide detailed design proposals, with all equipment and materials for construction itemised and priced individually.

We handle a wide variety of pools, from a simple lap pool to highly complex projects including infinity edge, linear deck slot, standard deck level overflow and letterbox surface flow – all of which require the inclusion of surface distribution channels and balance tank controls.

Fibreglass Moulding Materials

Fibreglass Moulding Materials Supply

UEL supplies a range of the most common Fiberglass & Polyester Resin Molding Materials used to manufacture your GRP parts at affordable prices. 

 

Our Fiberglass molding materials include: Vinyl Ester Resin, Polyester Resin, Fiberglass Roving, Fiberglass Mat, and Gel Coat. Each fiberglass molding material has different advantages. Polyester resin is the most commonly used material for fiberglass molding, but vinyl ester resin has a number of superior qualities such as heat and water resistance.

Range of Fibreglass Materials

Vinyl Ester Resins

Vinyl Ester Resins typically exhibit excellent heat resistance, great water resistance, and extreme toughness. This resin is widely used in automotive, aircraft, heavy construction, and tooling applications.

Polyester Resin

Polyester Resins are the most widely used; particularly in the marine industry. The majority of dinghies, yachts, recreational boats, and jet skis use of this resin.

Fibreglass Roving

Fiberglass Roving is used as the main strength in reinforcing parts. The roving is fed through a “chop gun” which cuts the roving into strands typically 1” to 2” inches in lengthThe strands are sprayed in conjunction with the fiberglass resin in a crisscross pattern to ensure proper overlapping of the strands for strengthening purposes.

Fibreglass Mat

Fiberglass Mat is used in the hand lay-up process. This process consists of using layers of resin soaked fiberglass matting. Hand-laid parts are very strong and provide consistent wall thickness throughout the part.

Gel Coat

Gel coat is the material used to provide a high-quality finish on the visible surface of a fiberglass reinforced composite product. It has the ability to be as shiny as paint on a new car with a class A finish. This material comes in any color and is used for boats, engine cowlings, and heavy construction products.

Epoxy flooring is a creative way to coat your floors and make a safe, durable, appealing work space. Epoxy floors are growing in popularity, and it’s easy to see why: There are many benefits to installing epoxy flooring in your home, and really only one con.

 

Here’s what you need to know:

Easy to keep clean – Perhaps the best feature of epoxy flooring is how easy it is to maintain. Epoxy floors are renown for being easy to clean. Sweep up debris effortlessly and quickly, and mop or wipe it down with a cloth to get rid of any spills. It doesn’t get much easier than that! Epoxy floors are most popular in garages, and even oil and automotive fluids are no problem to clean up quickly and completely.

Extremely durable – Epoxy flooring is also known for its durability, and will protect your floors from all types of impact. You can drive on it, park on it, store heavy equipment on it, or lay out your tools and work on a major project, causing no damage to the floor. It takes a pretty sharp or heavy projectile to damage this sturdy and long-lasting material.
Extremely safe – Epoxy is a very safe coating for your hard floors. It’s slip resistant, shock resistant, and less abrasive than concrete and other types of industrial flooring. It’s also water resistant, and will protect your floor from any spills, including harsh chemicals that would harm other types of floor. It can also withstand heat of up to 200 degrees, making it a better choice than most other types of flooring when it comes to fire resistance.

Polished, clean look – Epoxy floors are virtually seamless, creating a smooth and uniform look. Beyond that, the glossy finish makes a professional and clean appearance. It can turn a garage or warehouse into a showroom, and can turn any type of space into an extension of your home. Some homeowners even choose to have epoxy flooring in their mudrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, or really anywhere. The finish creates a modern look, and the other benefits are still there.

Colorful – As a bonus, epoxy is available in a wide array of colors or color combinations. Use a solid gray or beige to further enforce the uniform look, or choose the an exciting color combination or the colors of your favorite sports team to make the space your own.

Fibreglass Vs Wooden Boats

 

Why should you choose fibreglass to build your boat instead of traditional wood?

There are few other materials that offer the strength to weight ratio of fibreglass materials in boat building, as it is infinitely adaptable – for example, fibreglass can be moulded into any shape desired and finished in any colour. This means for such a light weight material, the strength is multiple times that of wood.

Also, the material is resistant to rot, rust and deterioration unlike wooden boats. You can also expect a useful life of 30+ years for fibreglass boats – the same cannot be said of wooden boats.

Avoid the rot and damp associated with wooden boats by contracting UEL Resins and Fibreglass for the following fibeglass boat structures:

  • Hulls and decks
  • Superstructures and wheelhouses
  • Structural components
  • Doors and hatches
  • Battery boxes and enclosures

Playground or Pool Slides

Since 2003, UEL Resins and Fibreglass LTD has has been a pioneer in the commercial playground equipment industry. From the first commercially available inclusive playgrounds to the advent of custom, themed playgrounds, UEL has a rich heritage of innovative design and engineering that moves play forward with top-of-the-line playground equipment.

All of our playgrounds, activities, site furnishings and amenities are constructed from the highest quality fibreglass materials and are backed by the industry’s best warranty and customer service. Together, we help parks, schools, early learning centers and other organizations enrich childhood through play.



Different Types and Benefits of Fibreglass Playground Slides

We want to provide you all of the information you need about playground slides prior to your online purchase: At UEL State of Play, we want you to feel confident when purchasing your next playground slide. An educated consumer is our best customer, so at UEL State of Play, we make sure that you have all of the facts before you buy one of our commercial playground slides. Choosing the right playground slide can ensure the safety of the children using the playground equipment. Slides can make the design for your playground attractive and loads of fun! Let’s review the different types and benefits of playground slides to give you valuable information to help you make your next commercial playground slide purchase easy.

Slide Types and Variations

Commercial playground slides are one of the most common types of playground equipment. Slide components are fairly standard: There is a raised platform and a ramp, called a chute, that children slide down. The two types of slide construction are freestanding slides, which are not attached to other playground equipment, and composite slides, which connect to other playground equipment. Slides vary in height and are usually made of stainless steel or plastic, and they are often brightly colored to coordinate with other playground equipment. Slide chutes have many different designs: Straight, wavy, spiral, parallel (side-by-side), and tunnel are some well-known variations of commercial playground slide chutes. When placed in a well-constructed playground design, they are known to be one of the most popular playground attractions for children, but they also have a number of other great benefits. Let’s look at three of the biggest pluses for adding a slide to your playground design.

Benefits of Slides:

  1. Promote Balance and Coordination: When a child climbs up a slide and then successfully positions and pushes themselves down the chute, they are building valuable balance and coordination skills. Additionally, it helps children develop special awareness, as they have to judge when it is a good time to slide and when to put their feet down once they reach the bottom of the chute.
  2. Present Healthy Physical Challenges: Climbing up ladders over and over again and sliding down is fun, but it is also hard work! Children build both upper and lower body strength as they pull themselves up and step up the rungs of a ladder. This means increased strength, healthy cardiovascular exercise, and the support and development of lean muscle.
  3. Encourage Positive Social Skill Development: Everyone always wants to use the slide! Why? Because they’re so much fun! At a busy playground, the slide is always the focus of most of the attention, which means there will always be a bit of a wait to use it. When kids are playing together, the slide is a great way to foster important social skills like cooperative play, sharing, taking turns, and learning patience and tolerance of others’ skills and physical abilities. These skills will have a lasting impact on their social interactions as they continue to develop, and all they know is that they’re having a great time!

Now that you know so much more about slides and all of the benefits they bring to your playground design, you can shop with confidence. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact one of our customer service representatives with any questions, and remember that all of UEL State of Play equipment comes with a one-year warranty to ensure that you receive a product that is of the highest quality for the greatest value.

Fibreglass Swimming Pool

A swimming pool in one’s home invites various perceptions. It denotes exclusiveness, class and affluence.
However, with current advancements, the pattern is fast changing. It is now possible for the average middle-class person in Uganda to own and ably maintain a swimming pool.

For swimming pool chemicals visit our online store to buy accessories, equipment and chemicals at the best prices in Uganda.

Talhan Yogesh, of Nandadeep International, the authorised distributors of the Zodiac prefabricated swimming pools in Uganda, says if one can afford to buy a car worth over sh10m and spends sh20,000 everyday on fuel, then he or she can afford managing a swimming pool at home.

A prefabricated swimming pool comprises steel walls and an integral deck formed of prefabricated panels. A vinyl liner is employed to contain the water.
The panels are generally of an inverted L-shape and are supported by an exterior truss construction, where they are joined to adjacent panels.
The panels simultaneously provide mounting means for a fence post permitting safe enclosure of the pool. The pool is suitable for above-ground use.

Its modular construction also affords a wide variety of sizes and it is easy to install without the need for skilled labour.

Rectangular pools are most common in Vinyl type, but an interesting variety of L-shaped, free form and other shapes can also be made available. Straight and curved panels are interlocked to form the walls and the floor of the pool.

These panels are then lined with vinyl-liners. The liners are .65 mm thick.

Vinyl manufacturers have created many new liner patterns and colours including liners with display of tile border and print wall from which the pool owners can choose when it comes to style.

Vinyl pools can be dismantled and packed away to another destination.

The fibreglass swimming pool is another type worth having.

It does not develop cracks as easily as concrete.

The fibreglass, therefore, does not need to be resurfaced, replastered, or grouted.

Build your own pool
What makes it all seem so unbelievable is that the pictures for example seen on the Internet are of swimming pools that are truly beautiful with complete decks, diving boards and pool slides.

Is it really conceivable that someone with no construction experience could put something like that together?
It is possible to do it, but it comes with some help.

It takes more than one person to accomplish some of the tasks that are involved in the process.

The above-ground-pool is the simplest. Today’s prefabricated swimming pools are essentially giant puzzles that are put together one piece at a time.

Granted, it is not an easy task and you will get dirty doing it, but with some basic tools, it can be done.

Above-ground pools are the easier and the less problematic compared to the in-ground swimming pool, which involves excavation work.

The Authenticity of Fibreglass Products

After discovering the strength of the fibreglass building, the material is not only used for construction, but also for decorative purposes, writes Lydia Namono. (Daily Monitor)

When I asked a few colleagues if they knew what fibreglass was, they had no idea. But what was more surprising was that some sales people dealing in these products hardly knew that they had them in their showrooms. Well, that’s how rare fibreglass products are in Uganda.
You might easily confuse it with plastic; but it is not completely plastic. Simply stated, fibreglass is a material made of woven thread-like glass which is known as Glass Reinforced Polymer (GRP). In other words, it is formed from many small identical chemicals.

The basics 
According to Mr Shai Henkel, the Managing Director at Henkel Polymer Company Limited, “Fibreglass is a material made of thin strands of glass which are then embedded in a surrounding substance of resin (an artificial substance used as a basis of plastics).” As a structural and design component, fibreglass has grown from century to century because of its adverse uses in construction and furniture. There are about 30 to 40 designs of fibreglass in stone, 50 in wood and other special designs such as bamboo.

Currently, it’s used as finishing both internally and externally on walls, clear roofing sheets and ceilings. It is also used in automobiles such as ships, vehicle canopies as well as furniture in form of tables, chairs and children’s slides.

Its history
Fibreglass as a material was not known in the past. According to Mr Edward Dierckxsens, the sales manager at Multiple Industries Limited, a fibreglass building was made for exposition in the middle of the last century in United Kingdom. The building was so strong, it could not be demolished as they had anticipated; that is when the strength of fibreglass was discovered.

How fibreglass is made
Fibreglass is made by putting thin strands of glass into a mold, (a container that gives a shape to a molten or liquid substance poured into it to harden), then it goes through a chemical process and becomes solid again.
At this point, it is ready to be transformed into any products. It is made in such a way that it is resistant to most chemicals, certain temperatures and also degradation to the elements, such as the sun’s ultraviolet rays, water, as well as a fire slowing agent (retardant).

The products
Walls: Basically, it is a wall covering made of decorative fibre glass texture that is available in different designs. This material can work both inside and outside.
However, it is not advisable to use the same design throughout the room, rather, using one design on a particular part of the room has a better effect, Mr Dierckxsens says.
Ceilings: These too can be designed with fibreglass depending on your choice. They are also designed in such a way that they can absorb sound.
Automobiles: Fibreglass has also proven to be a strong material in ships, cars and aircrafts. Where one would have used wood in the aircraft or ship, fibreglass is an excellent option.
Furniture: In case you want to accentuate your compound with furniture, fibreglass provides a good option because these do not react to external weather conditions like the sun and rain.
Roofing sheets: These are the translucent sheets that some people use on balconies.
Countertops: They are also available in various colours depending on your choice. You might have seen some of these countertops looking like stone yet they are refined with fibreglass.
Bathrooms: These are made in such a way that a water proof material is placed underneath the tiles used in the bathroom.
Children’s equipment: The children’s slides in parks like Didi’s World and Kiwatule Recreation Centre have fibreglass materials.
Much as fibreglass is expensive, it’s worth using because of its strength. “It has a high ratio of surface area to weight; meaning that it is very light for the strength it gives,” Mr Henkel explains.
Fibreglass is also light and this makes it easy for one to transport.
Panels: Apart from that fact that it is easy to install, it requires less time, manpower, and equipment, for instance, panels which can be placed on walls or ceilings (rectangular pieces of the material) are 2.85 metres by 1.3 metres.

“The panels are placed on the surface; either the wall or ceiling, and fitted with screws. Then they are merged together with mastic (a water proof substance used as a sealant in building) added with water such that you cannot see the divisions between these panels,” Mr Dierckxsens explains. He adds that the material actually looks like paint and one can use the same colour of the panel for the mastic. You can install about 50 square metres of panels in eight hours.

Additionally, the material is weather resistant, which means that the furniture does not fade when exposed to the sun as opposed to other finish materials like paint. The material is also resistant to rust because of its water proof surface.

Nevertheless, dealing with the fibreglass is challenging. The mere fact that it is made from thin strands of glass should be enough reason for you to be careful while handling it. Therefore, you need protective gear like gloves, especially for those working in the manufacturing places. Imagine a small strand of steel wire getting stuck in your finger while clearing up the dishes at home.

This is why one needs to handle it carefully. More so, once your skin gets into direct contact with the fibre glass strands, you start feeling itchy. Therefore, it is advisable to use overalls and gloves when you are working with fibreglass.

How to maintain fibreglass and the buying guide

Maintenance tips 
Whatever you own must be maintained well if it’s to last. But how can these products be maintained? Here are a few tips according to www.protectall.com/artfiber.aspx on how to maintain fibreglass.
* Choose wax that’s suitable for the automobiles. Also look out for those areas that are more exposed to the surface. In the vehicles, look out for the parts that are closer to the road or the front cap, while in ships, it would be the areas that are horizontal on the topside and vertical areas close to the water line.
* Use a scrubbing brush to remove the grime formed from the scum after a bath. Dissolve some Vim in water and sprinkle some powder on the walls. Then use a scrubbing brush to remove the dirt gently; working in circular movements.
* Avoid using cleansing water for your tubs and showers with high iron content. Instead, use liquid products that are known to be very effective in removing rusts and harmful mineral deposits on your fibre glass shower and tubs. When these mineral deposits stay too long in the glass, they cause stains that are so hard to remove and rust that can practically destroy your shower and tub.
* Use a soft sponge to clean the fibre glass shower. The soft sponge is very useful in removing early signs of stains and rusts.
* Clean regularly using liquid soap and water for the other products like furniture and children’s games’ equipment.
