Epoxies - 2 Component

INSULGEL 50
ROOM TEMPERATURE CURING SOFT EPOXY GEL

DESCRIPTION

INSULGEL 50 is a room temperature curing, transparent, epoxy gel in which the gel number actually equals the hardness, INSULGEL 50 is low viscosity and does not normally require vacuum de-gassing to assure bubble-free castings and imbedments.

MIXING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Stir both Parts A and B prior to use.
2. Weigh out desired amount of Part A. Weigh into it 25 parts of Part B per 100 parts of Part A. Stir thoroughly, being sure to scrape the sides and bottom of the container.
3. Pour into mold or cavity.

CURE SCHEDULES:
Initial cure 6-8 hours at room temperature before handling. Shorter turnover times are possible at slightly elevated temperature, with some loss in pot life.

Full cure @25°C - 72 hours.

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.

PLEASE REFER TO MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET FOR FURTHER FIRST AID INFORMATION.
