- Instructions
- Bring both components to room temperature prior to mixing.
- Cartridge format: Mixer should be attached keeping the cartridge vertical and any air pocket purged this way. After the mixer contains material, the mixer tip can be dropped to dispense pre-bleed amount. Attach a new static mixer with each cartridge, then pre-bleed the first 3 inches of dispensed material or until a uniform color is obtained. Maintain adequate velocity during dispensing to ensure complete mixing.
- Bulk format: weigh and mix parts A and B accurately and thoroughly, scraping sides of container often. Do not pour from mixing container, transfer to a new container as residual unmixed material may cause a tacky spot on the surface of the casting. Maintain adequate velocity during dispensing to ensure complete mixing.
- Allow to cure undisturbed until product is fully gelled or tack-free to the touch.
- Clean up uncured resin with suitable organic solvent such as MEK, acetone or other organic solvent.

Storage & Handling
- Shelf Life And Storage
- 12 months at 25 °C
- Specialty packaging may be less.
- Many epoxy resin systems are prone to crystallization as epoxy resin is a super-cooled fluid. This condition may give the product a gritty or grainy appearance (or hazy in clear products). Products in this state will not usually cure to normal and expected properties. In extreme cases it may appear solid and cured. Fluctuating temperatures (within 5 to 50°C) aggravate this phenomenon. Heating the individual component to 50 to 60°C while stirring can usually restore products to original state. Storage at 25 +/- 10°C is optimum for most products.
