Bulk Mixing
When mixing, care must be taken to avoid the introduction of excessive amounts of air. Automatic mixing
equipment is available which will not only mix both the resin and hardener accurately in the correct ratio but do
this without introducing air. Containers of Part A (Resin) and Part B (Hardener) should be kept sealed at all
times when not in use to prevent the ingress of moisture. Bulk material must be thoroughly mixed before use.
Incomplete mixing will result in erratic or partial curing.
Additional Information
Cleaning: It is far easier for machines & containers to be cleaned before the resin has been
allowed to cure. Electrolube’s RRS is suitable for cleaning machines and containers
and cured resin may be slowly softened and removed by soaking in our RRS.
All surfaces must be clean before resin is applied. Certain materials, chemicals, curing
agents and plasticizers can inhibit the cure of silicone encapsulants. Most notable of
these include:
• Organotin and other organometallic compounds
• Silicone rubber containing organotin catalyst
• Sulphur, polysulphides, polysulphones or other sulphur containing materials
• Amines, urethanes or amine-containing materials
• Unsaturated hydrocarbon plasticisers
• Some solder flux residues
Curing: Do not heat cure large volumes immediately. Allow these to gel at room temperature and
post-cure at high temperature if required (refer to liquid properties for details). Small
volumes (250ml) may be heat cured immediately.
Storage: When storing under very cold conditions, the hardener may crystallise. If this occurs,
simply warm (40°C
) the container gently until all crystals have re-melted.
Health & Safety: Always refer to the Health & Safety data sheet before use. These can be downloaded
