PROCESSING RECOMMENDATION
The temperature where gelation is being carried out should not be higher than necessary. A high gelation temperature induces shrinkage and generates internal stress within the part.
- Mixed Ratio Information
Components Parts by weight RenLam LY 120 100 Ren HY 99 23 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.
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.
- 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 RenLam® LY 120 and Ren® 99 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. Warning: Crystallisation of the resin may occur if stored for an extended period of time at cold temperatures. In case of crystallisation, heat up the resin at 60°C until crystals are dissolved.
