Applications & Uses
- Applications
- Basic Uses
MIX2FIX LV Steel is ideal for adhesive or sealing applications requiring easy spreadability, rapid cure and high hardness. It seals leaks; fills holes, pits and cracks; makes an excellent thread lock; can be used for anchoring machines; is useful as a general-purpose adhesive to repair practically anything.
- Applications Limitations
Does not adhere to PTFE, polyethylene, or polypropylene.
Becomes very hot during cure; do not mix more than 8 oz. (224g) total at one time, i.e. 4 oz. (112g) each of Part A and Part B.
See performance data for temperature limits.
Do not apply at temperatures below 41°F (5°C).
Not intended for use in structural applications.- How to use
Surface preparation
To achieve optimum adhesion, surfaces should be free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps insure a good bond.
Mixing and application
Wear impermeable gloves when mixing or handling uncured product. Measure out equal amounts of resin and hardener by weight or volume, using different utensils for each to avoid contamination. Use only the amount needed for the job at hand. Do not mix more than 8 oz. (224g) total at one time, i.e., 4 oz. (112g) each of Part A and Part B. Material may become hot during cure. Mix together until a uniform gray color is achieved. Apply to clean, preferably abraded surfaces within 3 minutes of mixing. Remove excess material before product begins to set. Worklife is 5 minutes. Allow MIX2FIX LV Steel to harden until a strong bond has formed, normally about 60 minutes, depending on the nature of the application. Product cures faster at higher temperatures and larger volumes, and slower at lower temperatures and in thin sections. After 1 hour the application can be tapped, drilled, filed and sanded. Full cure is reached in 24 hours.
