- Processing Guidelines
Components Parts by weight Parts by volume Araldite® LY 1564 100 100 Aradur® 3475 22 27 - 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 material on the sides and bottom of the vessel are incorporated during 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.
Safety & Health
- First Aid 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 (see above).
- 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 Conditions
- Provided that Araldite® LY 1564 and Aradur® 3475 are stored in a dry place in their original, closed containers at the recommended storage temperatures, shelf life will be as indicated on the product labels.
- Partly emptied containers should be closed immediately after use.
