1 Brief Introduction
MFE-2T is thixotropic version, and designed for ease of hand-lay up, spray-up and other similar processes.
2 Applications and Fabrication Techniques
1) Suited for the manufacture of spas, swimming pool liners, in marine and other applications requiring the superior bubble resistance of an epoxy vinyl ester resin.
2) Recommended for the construction of load bearing or mechanically demanding structures. 3) Used for corrosion resistant equipment, the thixotropy and pre-acceleration making the use on the field easier (*).
(*) As a general rule, thixotroped (or otherwise filled) resins should not be used in the corrosion barrier without consultation of the resin manufacturer (in contact with alkaline media or sodium hypochlorite solutions, the use of a thixotropic resin is not recommended).

4 Transportation and storage
The transportation should adhere to relative items in the fifth chapter of Hazardous chemicals safety management regulation of the state council. The resin should be stored under 25ºC cooling place and far from fire and heat source. The quality guarantee period is 6 months with unopen drum and no additives, promoters, accelerators, etc. added.
