We recommend that the components are weighed with an accurate balance to prevent mixing inaccuracies which can affect the properties of the matrix system. The components should be mixed thoroughly to ensure homogeneity. It is important that the side and the bottom of the vessel are incorporated into the mixing process. When processing large quantities of mixture the pot life will decrease due to exothermic reaction. It is advisable to divide large mixes into several smaller containers.

Typical Cure Cycles

  • 180 min 40 °C
  • or 50 min 70 °C
  • or 10 min 100 °C

The optimum cure cycle has to be determined case by case depending on the processing and the economic requirements.

Safety & Health

Safety Information

Contamination of the eyes by resin, hardener or mix should be treated immediately by flushing with clean, running water for 10 to 15 minutes. A doctor should then be consulted.Material smeared or splashed on the skin should be dabbed off, and the contaminated area then washed and treated with a cleansing cream. A doctor should be consulted in the event of severe irritation or burns. Contaminated clothing should be changed immediately. Anyone taken ill after inhaling vapours should be moved out of doors immediately. In all cases of doubt call for medical assistance.

Storage & Handling

Storage and Handling Information
  • Provided that the products described are stored in a dry place in their original, properly closed containers at the above mentioned storage temperatures they will have the shelf lives indicated on the labels.Partly emptied containers should be closed immediately after use.
  • At the workplace, safety precautions include wearing protective clothing, with gloves being essential and arm protectors recommended when skin contact is likely. Goggles or safety glasses are required for eye protection. For skin protection, apply a barrier cream to exposed skin before starting work, and after washing, use a barrier or nourishing cream. When cleansing contaminated skin, dab off with absorbent paper, wash with warm water and alkali-free soap, then dry with disposable towels solvents should be avoided. In case of spillage, soak it up with sawdust or cotton waste and dispose of it in a plastic-lined bin. Workshop ventilation should renew air 3 to 5 times an hour, and workplaces should be equipped with exhaust fans. Operatives should avoid inhaling vapors.
