Component A: Epoxy Base Resin
Component B: Activator/Curing Agent
Both components are available in 5 gallon pails and 250 gallon totes.
Note: Quick-Kit tubes are also available upon request.
Storage & Handling
- Storage Conditions
Store all Epoplex MA50 components at or above 50˚F/10˚C in a dry area. Avoid excessive heat as this increases the chance of settling. In the rare occurrence that minor settling is noticed, it is recommended that the material is premixed with a jiffler blade to regain suspension prior to use. Do not freeze. The shelf life is 2 years in the original, unopened container.
