Thaw EPOCAST® 1627-2 for 1.5 to 2 hours at room temperature in its original sealed bag to prevent any contact with condensing humidity. Remove from packaging and apply to desired surface. Thawed EPOCAST® 1627-2 may be used for up to 48 hours depending on ambient temperature and if it is protected from moisture at all times. If refrozen, work life will be reduced accordingly.
Parameter Value Work life, at 77°F (25°C), hours 24 Typical Cure Cycles* 1 hour at 350°F (177°C)
Typical Cure Cycles* 6 hours at 250°F (121°C)
Typical Cure Cycles* 3 - 4 days at 180°F (83°C)
Each cure cycle must include 5 - 7°F (3 - 4°C) per minute heat rise from room temperature to cure temperature, holding at cure temperature for designated time, followed by 5 - 7°F (3 - 4°C) per minute heat reduction to 150°F (66°C) or below. Cure temperature refers to temperature of material as determined by thermocouple.
