Instructions

  • Mix the two components thoroughly in the indicated ratio.
  • To reproduce fine details, apply a thin layer of mixed resin and hardener to the mold surface using a short bristle brush before casting.
  • Evacuating the material improves the properties. Post-curing improves final properties.

 

Working Conditions:
The product should be used when in the temperature range 18-25°C.

Safety & Health

Safety Information
  • It is generally quite harmless to handle provided that certain precautions normally taken when handling chemicals are observed.
  • The uncured materials must not, for instance, be allowed to come into contact with foodstuffs or food utensils, and measures should be taken to prevent the uncured materials from coming in contact with the skin, since people with particularly sensitive skin may be affected.
  • The wearing of impervious rubber or plastic gloves will normally be necessary; likewise the use of eye protection.
  • The skin should be thoroughly cleansed at the end of each working period by washing with soap and warm water.
  • The use of solvents is to be avoided. Disposable paper - not cloth towels - should be used to dry the skin. Adequate ventilation of the working area is recommended.
  • These precautions are described in greater detail in the Material Safety Data sheets for the individual products and should be referred to for fuller information.

Storage & Handling

Storage Conditions
  • Provided that RENCAST® CW 2215 and REN® HY 5160-1 are stored in a dry place in their original, properly closed containers at the storage temperatures mentioned in the MSDS they will have the shelf lives indicated on the labels.
  • Partly emptied containers should be closed immediately after use.
