Stir contents before using. Because °F differences in density, pigments and fillers when present, may separate from the liquid components during storage. To insure product homogeneity and maximum performance, check the containers for settling. Loosen any settled pigments from the bottom °F the container and thoroughly mix contents prior to use. Use a mixing stick or power mix at slow speed with a drill press and dispersion blade. Do not overheat. This product might crystallize in its shipping container during storage. If it appears hard, or has a granular consistency, or if it is normally clear but appears cloudy, warm it thoroughly at 110°F to reconstitute. Remix the product before using. Caution: Warming a pre-catalyzed epoxy for extended periods °F time or at high temperatures, will shorten its shelf life and cause premature thickening and curing.
Measuring
Not required with one-component precatalyzed products.
Mixing
Needed only if ingredients have separated. Do not mix excessive air into the mixture. Do not overheat.
De-airing
Low viscosity resins will de-air naturally on their own. Some applications require a totally air-free product. If a vacuum pump and chamber are used, evacuate the material for 5-15 minutes At 28-29 inches °F mercury. Allow sufficient space above the liquid for expansion, about four times the liquid volume. Resins slightly warmed are thinner and will de-air faster. Also, the use °F an air-out additive will lower the surface tension and hasten air release.
Caution: Warming a catalyzed mixture will shorten the pot life and decrease gel time.
Surface preparation
To obtain maximum adhesion, the surfaces to be bonded must be free °F grease, oil, dust, mold release, and water. Consult Tech Service for recommended surface treatments.

Safety & Health
- Warning
For Industrial Use Only
All chemicals must be handled with care. Avoid breathing fumes, mists and dust, they could cause respiratory discomfort or damage. Work in a well-ventilated area. Avoid all contact with the skin. If contact °Ccurs, wash affected area thoroughly with soap and water. Repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis in susceptible individuals. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Severe irritation will result if this product is splashed into the eyes. Always wear eye protection. If eye contact °Ccurs, flood eyes with clear water for 15 minutes and immediately seek medical attention. Always maintain good industrial hygiene when using this product.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 1 year
- Storage
Store the product away from sunlight and open flames, at a stable temperature °F less than 85°F. Cooler temperatures will extend shelf life, but may contribute to crystallization or freezing °F the resin. Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Air and moisture will decrease shelf life and will adversely affect properties.
