- Instructions for Use
Mixing
Thoroughly stir individual components prior to addition to ensure homogeneity. Mix in a 1:1 ratio by weight or volume. Exercise care to prevent solvent loss during deairing. Accomplish additional dilution for thin film applications by adding appropriate solvent.
Please note the Part A may shear thicken when pre-mixed. This is an expected behavior and an inherent property of the dispersion. Once the Part A and Part B are homogenized, allow the blended material to rest and/or de-air prior to further processing, which will allow the dispersion to return to a nonthickened state.
Warning: Consult the MSDS for R-2180 prior to use as its solvent carrier is hazardous.
Vacuum Deaeration
Remove air entrapped during mixing by common vacuum deaeration procedure, observing all applicable safety precautions. Slowly apply full vacuum to a container rated for use and at least four times the volume of material being deaerated. Hold vacuum until bulk deaeration is complete.
Substrate Considerations
Cures in contact with most materials. Exceptions include: sulfur-cured organic rubbers, latex, chlorinated rubbers, some RTV silicones and unreacted residues of some curing agents.
