MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Weigh out required amount of INSULCAST 510 Part A.
2. Measure out appropriate amount of INSULCAST 510 Part B, B-1 or SC-1:
Use Part B: Large casting up to 1 lb.
Use Part B-1: Small, thin-walled castings up to 1/2lb.
Use Part SC-1: Very large castings up to 5 lbs.
3. Mix thoroughly, scraping both the sides and bottom of the container to insure proper blending.
4. Evacuate @29 in Hg to insure void-free castings.
5. Pour into cavity or mold.
CURE SCHEDULES:
Part B: Allow to gel at room temperature (25°C) plus post cure 1-2 hours at 50°C to 60°C. Part B-1: Overnight at room temperature (24 hours @25°C) Part SC-1: 24-48 hours at room temperature (25°C) Do not heat or post cure.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Note: INSULCAST 510 Part A is an extremely pure epoxy resin and may crystallize at temperatures below 25°C, to a solid mass. This is normal and expected. To reliquefy, warm open container at 50°C to 65°C and cool to room temperature prior to use.

HEALTH CAUTION:
Avoid breathing possible fumes, mists and vapors which can cause severe respiratory damage. Use of NIOSH approved breathing apparatus is required for more than minimal exposure. Always work in areas with adequate ventilation to allow dissipation of polyamine and other chemical fumes, and where applicable, solvent fumes. Use of goggles, protective garments, rubber gloves, protective cream is required. If material gets into eyes, flush thoroughly with clear water for twenty (20) minutes; then seek medical treatment. Avoid skin contact. Material can cause contact dermatitis. Always wash exposed areas immediately, using warm water and soap, followed by rinsing with clean water. Observe all safety precautions. It is important when using solvent based materials or solvents to keep away from open flame or ignition source.
