The amount of main components is given on parts by weight.
*Pot life and demolding time are referred to the system with the given amount of catalyst; TECNOKAT AT12600 can be used to adjust pot life and demolding time.

Post Curing Information
Hardness (ShA) Temperature (°C) Time (hours)
Lower than 75 70 16
From 75 to 95 90 16
Higher than 95 110 16

For hardness ≤ 78 ShA it is recommended to wait 24 h at room temperature, before post-curing cycle.
For hardness above 93 ShA, two annealing steps are recommended to quickly reach the best performances; let the material cool down to room temperature in between the 2 post curing processes.
