We recommend the components to be weighted with a precision balance to prevent any mixing inaccuracies that can affect the final properties of the matrix system. The components should be mixed thoroughly to ensure homogeneity. Attention must be paid on incorporating materials from the sides and the bottom of the vessel during mixing operations.
When processing a large quantity of mixture, the pot life will decrease due to exothermic reaction. It is advised to divide large mixes into several smaller containers
