- We recommend that the components are weighed with an accurate balance to prevent mixing inaccuracies which can affect the properties of the matrix system. The components should be mixed thoroughly to ensure homogeneity. It is important that the side and the bottom of the vessel are incorporated into the mixing process.
- When processing large quantity of mixture the pot life will decrease due to exothermic reaction. It is advisable to divide large mixes into several smaller containers.
