Technical Details & Test Data
- Molding Suggestions
Lytex® 9063 BK-E can be molded at temperatures in the range of 280-330°F, with 310°F suggested as a starting point. Cure times will be dependent on molding temperature and part thickness and will typically be 10-15 minutes. Detailed molding suggestions are available on request. Cool molded parts at ambient temperature. A cooling fixture may be needed depending on part thickness and geometry.
Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life
- 6 Months (0°F)
- Precautions
Lytex® 9063 BK-E contains glass fibers and should be handled carefully in order to minimize skin contact. Molding areas should be well ventilated to minimize exposure to fumes. Presses must be provided with local exhaust to remove vapors from work areas. If adequate ventilation is not available, a respirator approved for removing organic vapor must be used.
