MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Pre-mix INSULCAST 129 in the original container prior to use to ensure consistency.
2. Weigh out required amount of INSULCAST 129.
3. Measure the required amount of INSULCURE 9 or INSULCURE 11B.
4. Mix thoroughly, scraping both the sides and bottom of the container.
5. Evacuate at 29 in Hg for 5-10 minutes to insure a void-free casting.
6. Pour into cavity or mold.
CURING AGENT RATIO CHART:
INSULCURE 9: 16-24 hours at 25°C or 1 hour at 65°C.
INSULCURE 11B: 3-4 hours at 65°C with post cure 2 hours at 125°C
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
This product has a tendency to settle upon shipment or storage. The product should be re-mixed well prior to use. The use of mechanical agitation or drum rollers may be necessary. Store material in a cool dry place.
