Important
- In order to achieve optimum performance, the same lot number of the A and B components should be used. Mixed lots may not obtain the performance criteria listed on the TDS or Certificate of Analysis.
- The "A" part of QGels contain the platinum catalyst; great care should be taken when using automated dispensing equipment to not cross-contaminate systems.
Mixing
Both the "A" and "B" parts should be well stirred to ensure the material is uniform. QGels should be mixed by weight. Once the components are mixed, the curing process begins. The gel time of the mixed material is listed under the typical properties. Fast curing gels should be dispensed utilizing automated mix and dispensing equipment. In order to achieve optimum performance, the same "A" and "B" side lot numbers should be used.
De-Aeration
Air trapped during mixing should be removed to eliminate voids in the cured product. Vacuum de-airing may be necessary to completely remove all entrapped air bubbles. To ensure proper de-airing, subject the mixed material to 29 inches of mercury.
