Typical
Physical
Properties:
Technical data should be considered representative or typical only and should not be used for specification purposes.
Limitations:
None
Surface
Preparation:
Clean surface by solvent-wiping any deposits of heavy grease, oil, dirt, or other contaminants. Surface can also be
cleaned with industrial cleaning equipment such as vapor phase degreasers or hot aqueous baths. If working with metal,
abrade or roughen the surface to significantly increase the microscopic bond area and increase the bond strength.
Mixing
Instructions:
---- Proper homogenous mixing of resin and hardener is essential for the curing and development of stated strengths. ----
25 ML DEV-TUBE
1. Squeeze material into a small container the size of an ashtray.
2. Using mixing stick included on Dev-tube handle, vigorously mix components for one (1) minute.
3. Immediately apply to substrate.
50 ML/400ML/490 ML CARTRIDGES
1. Attach cartridge to Mark V ™ [50ml] 400ml manual or pneumatic dispensing systems.
2. Open tip.
3. Burp cartridge by squeezing out some material until both sides are uniform (ensures no air bubbles are present during
mixing).
4. Attach mix nozzle to end of cartridge.
5. Apply to substrate.
Application
Instructions:
1. Apply mixed epoxy directly to one surface in an even film or as a bead.
2. Assemble with mating part within recommended working time.
