One Product Family

for every Purpose!

Biresin® CR132 (FR) / CR134 FR / CR131

With Biresin CR132, Sika has developed a family of modular epoxy matrix systems particularly
suitable for the light aviation market. The systems can reach Tg values between 130°C and
160°C, so that despite the higher aircraft skin temperature, that can be caused by the effects of
solar heating, the necessary thermal stabiliy is guaranteed even for dark painted parts.

Your Advantages
n Modular and versatile System with Tg values up to 160°C
n 4 Resins and 5 hardeners are building one product family for more flexibility
n Biresin CR132 - Hand laminating base system with 4 hardeners and equal mechanical properties
n Biresin CR131 - Vacuum Infusion Version of Biresin CR132 with equal mechanical properties
n Biresin CR132 FR and CR134 FR - Flame Retardant versions of Biresin CR132 for Hand Lay-Up
 Biresin® CR132 Biresin® CR131
n Hand Lay-Up System with a Glass Transition n Vacuum Infusion Version of Biresin CR132
