Proper Usage Data And Other Detailed Information Are Posted At This Page. Mix the Resin And Curing Agent Only After The Surface Is Prepared For Application. Finally, Ensure The Application Must Be Fully Cured Before Use In Any Application, Especially For Food Contact Application.STEP 1. SURFACE PREPARATIONThe quality of adhesion of any coating or adhesive application is dependent on how well the surface is prepared. The resin system must be able to properly 'wet-out' the surface to form a continuous film. Surfaces demonstrating poor wettability prevents the liquid resin from forming a cohesive bond.It is highly recommended that the MAX CLR comes in direct contact with the base substrate to achieve the best performance. Application of MAX CLR over an existing coating limits the adhesion performance of the MAX CLR of the coating it is applied to.Improper surface wetting yields poor coating application(crawling) and cured adhesion that will delaminate during use.POOR WETTING OF THE RESIN (CRAWLING) DUE TO OIL-BASED STAIN APPLIED ON WOOD This hydrophobic characteristic is commonly seen in nature when leaves repel water that keeps the surface dry. It limits the interaction between liquids and solids.Wetting is the ability of a liquid to interfaces or wet-out a solid surface. Its dynamics is expressed as surface tension. A surface that demonstrates low surface tension, such as waxed surface, oily surface or slick plastics like Teflon will prevent the liquid resin to wet-out and cause poor adhesion. In the same respect, if the surface is coated from a previous application, the epoxy adhesion is limited to adhesion quality of the coating is applied over. Make sure to remove any loose or peeling old coating before application to avoid delamination. If possible remove the old coating by mechanical sanding or power washing so the applied epoxy is in direct contact with the base substrate. Applying a coating over oil-based stain should be avoided.

Paste link into a browser window:The Following Surface Preparation Procedures Are Recommended. METALS AND CONCRETEDegrease Metals– Wipe surface with a lint-free rag dampened with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or acetone to remove all oil, dirt, and grease. Degrease Concrete- Use 2 cups of TSP (trisodium phosphate) detergent per 5 gallons of hot water and scrub with a stiff deck brush. Rinse with water and allow to dry.Etch Metals – For optimum results, metal parts should be immersed in a chromic acid bath solution consisting of: Sodium Dichromate4 Parts By WeightSulfuric Acid10 Parts By WeightWater30 Parts By Weight The solution is held at 160°F (71°C), and the parts left immersed for 5 to 7 minutes. Rinse – remove metal parts from etching bath and rinse with clean water. (distilled water is recommended).Etch Concrete- Use commercially sold concrete etching solution (hydrochloric acid based works best). Neutralized per instructions, rinse and allow to dry thoroughly.ALTERNATE PROCEDURE Degrease, scour and dry – Often etching as outlined above is not practical. The metal surfaces may be cleaned by degreasing as noted above, scouring with an alkaline cleanser followed by rinsing and drying.Degrease and dry – Degrease the surface as noted above, sand or sandblast the surface lightly but thoroughly. Rinse with acetone or Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), and dry.GLASSDegrease – With MEK as above, or with a strong boiling solution of a good grade household detergent.Etch – For optimum results, degreasing can be followed by the chromic acid bath outlined above.WOODSand – Bonding surfaces should be sanded lightly, but thoroughly to remove all external contamination.Clean – Carefully remove all dust, or particles of wood from sanded areas. A stiff and clean brush or compressed air can be used.PLASTICClean – Remove all dirt, oil, or other surfaces contaminated with detergent soap or degreasing solvent and water, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. A solvent that does not have a detrimental effect may also be used.Sand – Surfaces to be bonded should be sanded lightly, but thoroughly to remove surface sheen.Clean – Carefully remove all dust or particles of plastic from the sanded area. A clean brush, lint-free cloth, or compressed air may be used.STEP 2. CHECK THE PART A OR RESIN BOTTLE FOR CRYSTALLIZATIONCOLD WEATHER NOTICERESIN CRYSTALLIZATION FROM COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSUREOR AFTER PROLONGED STORAGE This Is The Common Cause Of Poor Cured Results During The Winter Season The resin component or PART A may crystallize due to cold temperature exposure or after being stored. This resin system was developed for high strength applications and other mandatory applications.It is of a high purity grade that makes it prone to crystallization. Similar to high purity compounds like honey that freezes when placed in cold temperature like the refrigerator (below 50ºF or 10ºC); high purity epoxy resins freeze or crystallize below 57°F.All kits are heat-processed before packaging to ensure PART A is in its liquid form. Please inspect the resin component for any solidified crystals, which will appear as waxy solid or cloudiness on the bottom of the PART A bottle.To ensure a trouble-free cure, heat-process the PART A bottle, especially for pigmented resin systems and destinations where the cold temperature is expected.Crystallization also occurs if the kit has been stored over the winter months.Please inspect the resin component for any solidified crystals, which will appear as waxy solid or cloudiness on the bottom of the PART A bottle. All kits are heat-processed before shipping to ensure PART A is in its liquid form. However, during the winter months the kit may be exposed to cold temperature during shipping. Store the kit above 65°F with caps securely in place and the kit will remain viable for up to 3 years or longer and prevent crystallization.Visit this link for more details:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x31gkzdZkiI&list=PL6x6YfnNMffz_q_ZdTRPDjhjFtkVeZZufCut And Paste To A New Browser.New eBay Guidelines Does Not Allow Direct Links Outside eBay EnvironmentOREnter This Search Phrase On YouTube.Com To View Our Video Tutorial PlaylistMAX EPOXY RESIN - The Epoxy Experts Video Tutorials How To Use And Apply Any Epoxy Resin SystemDO NOT USE UNLESS PROCESSED TO REVERT ANY CRYSTALLIZED RESIN BACK TO A LIQUID STATE AND AVOID POOR CURED RESULTS.

Blending amounts greater than 1000.0 grams or 1 quart in volume requires careful attention to ensure the mixed amount is used within the established working time to prevent exothermic "run-away" reaction. Do not let the mixed resin to sit in mass greater than 10 minutes. The heat generated during polymerization accelerates the chemical reaction and cause a 'run-away' reaction to occur. The mixture can generate temperatures above 300°F and cause an uncontrollable chemical reaction.BASIC EPOXY RESIN USAGE AVOIDING EXOTHERMIC RUN AWAY REACTION - YouTubeVideo will open in a new window Using the eBay App?

Mix a batch of the MAX CLR and apply (brush, roller or squeegee) the mixed coating onto the substrate first. Allow the first application to impregnate and absorb into the porosity and allow to cure until it has set dry to the touch for 8 to 12 hours. The first application seals the surface porosity and prevents further resin absorption and eliminate air bubbles from outgassing from the surface. STEP 4. MIXING PROCEDUREThe two components must be mixed thoroughly to eliminate problems such as tacky or uncured spots. Use the "two container method" as demonstrated in this video demonstration, which ensures a homogeneous mixture of the resin and curing agent.

APPLICATION DEMONSTRATIONSCondition the ambient temperature to 75°F for best results. Ensure that the work area is dust free and well ventilated. MAX CLR is self-leveling and will continue to flow until it polymerization converts it to a solid phase. It can be applied by using a bristle or high-density foam brush/roller or poured into place. MAX CLR is self-leveling, ensure the surface is level and secure any leaks by using tape to create a temporary patch and prevent leakage.When sealing wood substrates, the first application causes 'grain-raising' to occur. Apply a thin coat over the bare wood and allow the coating to seal the porosity and prevent bubbles to occur from further outgassing. For most wood materials, 'grain raising' will occur.Allow the MAX CLR to cure for 12 hours. For wood substrates, lightly sand the surface with fine sandpaper (180 grit) to remove the grain raising. Apply the another coat over the previous coat to a smooth surface that will serve as the final top coat.What Is 'Grain Raising'?When a liquid coating is applied over wood, fibers will begin to swell, and this will produce 'grain raising' to occur.Raised grains are small end fibers protruding from the coating causing unsightly unevenness. Allow the applied resin to cure and lightly sand the surface using fine-grit sandpaper. Remove dust and debris by wiping with a lint-free rag dampened with alcohol or acetone and allow to dry. Once the surface is prepared, apply the second coat of MAX CLR which will yield a smooth blemish free coating.

CURINGTo achieve the best cure results, the ambient condition should be between 75°F to 85°F and the relative humidity is below 80%.The colder the temperature the longer takes to fully cure. Use an infrared lamp to warm the ambient temperature. Infrared lamps also work well for warming large work areas.Although we have formulated all of our MAX EPOXY RESIN SYSTEM product line to be resistant to amine-blush, it is recommended not to mix any resin systems in high humidity conditions, greater than 60%. Always make sure that the substrate or material the epoxy resin system is being applied to is well prepared as possible to ensure the best-cured performance. Always review the published data and information for proper usage, application, and general safety information. Our expert staff of engineers is available for consultation and application assistance. Allow the lay-up to cure for a minimum of 24 to 36 hours before handling.Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. The ideal temperature cure condition of most room temperature epoxy resin is 75°F to 85°F at 20% relative humidity.Higher curing temperatures will promote faster polymerization and development of cured mechanical properties.
