Question
What is 'pot life' in resin injection?
Expert Answer
Pot life is the time you have to use a mixed resin before it starts to harden. In injection work, this is critical. A fast-reacting PU resin might have a pot life of seconds (requiring a dual-feed pump that mixes at the nozzle), while structural epoxy might have 30 minutes. We select resins with the correct pot life for the job—fast for stopping leaks, slow for penetrating deep structural cracks.
