DESCRIPTION
ES-218 is white, thixotropic, room temperature cure, sandable epoxy surface coat designed for duplication work. The popular handling
properties of ES-218 produce accurate, detailed, chip resistant surface coat duplications in epoxy laminate fabrications.
The versatility of this resin system, when used with ES-218-1 Hardener, also doubles as a chemical resistant epoxy coating used to fill
surface texture on composite parts. Typically one application applied using brush or roller is all that is required to fill in the texture or weave
in cloth fabric. NOTE: Do not topcoat directly over ES-218-1 composite coating applications. Sand ES-218-1 and use surface primer
products as recommended by topcoat manufacturer. Typical applications include: masters, models, patterns, duplicating, engineering
tooling, checking and drill fixtures and as a composite coating.
