Use the detailed TDS for the published supplied-resin data
The current detailed TDS publishes 600 cPs viscosity at 25 C, a 35-45 minute gel-time value at 25 C, 1.10 g/cm3 density at 25 C, not-applicable styrene content, 80 C fully cured thermal data and flash point above 100 C. It also lists 12-month unopened shelf life, 20-30 C storage.
These are document-level, typical product-data points. They identify the supplied resin route being described; they do not provide a chemical-compatibility chart, mechanical-property table, certificate or finished-component guarantee.
Do not silently combine the TDS and catalogue
The current catalogue BPR card uses a different description and lists 400 cPs viscosity, 20-minute gel time and 1.06 g/cm3 specific gravity. It also names chemical processing and marine, which are not listed as product-specific approvals in the detailed TDS.
A data conflict is an important buyer fact. This guide does not choose the more convenient figure, infer that the entries are variants of the same grade or treat one source as a silent correction to the other.
Read the limits of each number
Viscosity, density and gel-time values identify documented supplied-material conditions. They do not describe a finished reinforced laminate, coating, casting, bonded assembly or electrical component. The TDS says values are typical and should not be interpreted as guaranteed specifications.
The 80 C entry is explicitly presented as fully cured thermal data, not a recommended operating range. No test specimen, continuous service limit or chemical-exposure temperature guidance is published for this product route.
Use the discrepancy to improve the RFQ
Attach or name the TDS or catalogue reference, state the finished application, required properties or chemistry if specified, quantity, packaging need, delivery location and documentation required. Where a service environment matters, provide the medium, concentration and temperature where relevant.
That information lets Samrat FRP Traders confirm the actual product record without asking the buyer to supply a formulation, cure method, laminate design or chemical-compatibility conclusion.
Read the BPR documents as separate records
| Document item | Detailed Bisphenol Resin TDS | Catalogue BPR entry | Buyer action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Product description | Bisphenol A & epichlorohydrin based (thermosetting) | Bisphenol-A Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resin | Identify the exact document or grade reference before selection |
| Viscosity | 600 cPs at 25 C | 400 cPs | Do not transfer one value to the other route |
| Gel time | 35-45 minutes at 25 C | 20 minutes | Treat both as document-specific data, not processing instruction |
| Specific gravity / density | 1.10 g/cm3 at 25 C | 1.06 g/cm3 | Confirm the material actually being quoted |
| Listed applications | Laminating, casting, coating and encapsulation contexts | Chemical processing and marine | Do not turn either list into a cross-document approval |
The table reports what each current repository document states. It is not a reconciliation, equivalence statement or specification hierarchy.
Frequently asked questions
Which Bisphenol Resin values are published in the detailed TDS?
The current TDS publishes resin type, grade, viscosity, gel-time value, styrene content, density, thermal data, flash point, shelf life, storage.
Which value should I use when the TDS and catalogue differ?
Do not choose or average a value on this website. State the exact document reference and requirement during enquiry so the current product route can be confirmed.
Is the 80 C thermal-data entry a continuous service-temperature limit?
No. The current TDS lists 80 C as fully cured thermal data. It does not publish a continuous service-temperature limit.
Can the gel-time value be used as process guidance?
No. It is reported as typical TDS data at 25 C. This guide does not provide hardener ratio, cure adjustment or processing instructions.
