SikaBiresin® CR120
(formerly Biresin® CR120)
SikaBiresin® CR120 is an epoxy resin system suitable for the production of high performance fiber reinforced composite parts and molds with thermal properties up to 115 °C by vacuum infusion process.
- Fast wetting of dry fabrics and non-wovens
- DNV GL approved with both hardeners. Certificate No. TAK00001YD
- Two hardeners (B) with uniform mixing ratio enable a variation of processing times

Areas of Application
SikaBiresin® CR120 is especially suited to infusion and injection processes due to its low viscosity. It is designed for the production of industrial composite parts as well as molds with an elevated temperature resistance. This product is suitable for experienced professional users only. Tests under actual processing conditions and with additional materials such as fibers and release agents must be performed to proof material compatibility.Packaging

Application
Application
The resin system is optimized for processing temperatures between 18 °C – 25 °C. Consider the change in processing parameters if the resin system is processed at different temperatures. The curing must be performed at temperature ≥ 18 °C.
Information regarding reactivity and viscosity development of different combinations of SikaBiresin® CR120 are shown in the diagrams below.
Diagram 1: Reactivity at 23 °C in a 100 ml insulated cup
Diagram 2: Viscosity development
Prior to application, check both components for crystallization. The crystallization process can be reversed by heating the product to 60 °C – 70 °C until the crystals are no longer visible.
Containers must be closed tightly immediately after each use to prevent moisture ingress.
Removal
Uncured SikaBiresin® CR120 can be removed from tools and equipment with Sika® Reinigungsmittel 5 or another suitable solvent. Once cured, the material can only be removed mechanically. Hands and exposed skin shall be washed immediately using industrial hand cleaner and water.
不要使用溶剂在皮肤上。
STORAGE CONDITIONS
All components must be stored between 15 °C – 30 °C.
Prior to use check the material for homogeneity and crystallization and make sure to temper it to processing temperature.
