Resin Formulators Pot Life Testing Per ASTM D2471
From $250.00
Pot Life Test
Resin Formulators now offers advanced lab testing for its own Resin Formulators epoxy resins, as well as specialty chemicals manufactured by other suppliers.
The Pot Life Test determines the usable working time of a mixed material before it begins to cure or harden, ensuring optimal performance and application efficiency. Pot Life is the amount of time a mixture of resin and hardener has a workable viscosity while in the mixing container. It is determined using 100 gram sample mass in a standardized container at 75°F.

Product Information
Both mass and ambient temperature affect the rate at which an epoxy system will cure. Pot Life should be used only for comparative purposes when evaluating a resin system's cure time. Working Time is the amount of time the viscosity of the epoxy remains low enough to be processed. By measuring the starting viscosity of a material and identifying the point at which the viscosity has doubled we can determine the effective pot life of a mixed resin system. A potted curve of viscosity resistance over time will be provided in addition to the calculated time at which the viscosity doubled.
