APPLICATION INFORMATION
Mixing Ratio Part A : B : C
4.5 : 1 : 21 by weight
Consumption ~ 2.0 kg/m² epr mm thickness
Ambient Air Temperature +10 °C min/ +35 °C max
Substrate Temperature +10 °C min/ +35 °C max
Pot Life 50 - 60 min, @ +30 °C FIP 5.1
The pot life begins when the resin and hardener are mixed. It is shorter at
high temperatures and longer at low temperatures. The greater the quant-
ity mixed, the shorter the pot life. To obtain longer workability at high tem-
peratures, the mixed adhesive may be divided into portions. Another meth-
od is to chill parts A+B and C before mixing them (i.e. only when applica-
tion temperatures are above +20°C).
