Description: MAX CLR A/B CLEAR LIQUID RESINFDA Compliant For Direct Food Contact Coating And Bonding 1 Gallon MAX CLR PART A (Resin) And 1/2-Gallon MAX CLR PART B (Curing Agent) (1.5 Gallons Combined Volume)DESCRIPTION MAX CLR A/B is a two-component epoxy resin system that is produced in accordance with FDA regulations intended for direct food contact coatings and adhesive applications. MAX CLR A/B is a thermoset polymer resin that cures with high clarity that demonstrates high chemical resistance against acid and basic compounds. Its cure mechanical properties yields the optimum balance of strength and toughness, yielding high impact properties with less tendency to shatter.

MAX CLR can withstand brief contact with hot fluids (up to 187 °F) such as coffee, tea, and soups. The primary application of the MAX CLR resin system is to create an impermeable and sanitizable coating that demonstrates low extractable of its chemical constituents. Upon full cure, MAX CLR demonstrates excellent stability from chemical leaching and migration. The cured coating creates a durable barrier to seal porous substrates, such as wood, ceramic, or 3D printed plastics that prevents absorption of fluids or organic compounds.

It is a common product used by woodworkers and parts designers to fabricate unique pieces with functional durability. All components used to formulate the MAX CLR resin system are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, For Coatings Applications https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=175.300For Adhesives Application https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cdrh/cfdocs/cfcfr/CFRSearch.cfm?fr=175.105IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR FOOD CONTACT APPLICATIONS For food contact applications, MAX CLR A/B must be fully cured to ensure no chemical leaching can occur when foodstuffs' come in contact with the cured coating. Any uncured chemical compounds caused by improperly prepared MAX CLR may be extracted and cause cross-contamination or leaching during food contact. Please review the following and to avoid any curing problems. Please read the following information regarding factors that can highly affect the MAX CLR cured performance. COLD TEMPERATURE RESIN CRYSTALLIZATION The high purity nature of the resin formulation makes it prone to crystalizing when exposed to temperatures below 57°F. During the colder season, the resin component or PART A may crystallize during shipping. It can also occur after the container has been stored in an uncontrolled environment. Crystallized resin appears as an opaque white mass on the bottom of the bottle. HEAT PROCESSING TO REVERT RESIN CRYSTALIZATION With the cap securely in place, place the PART A container in a hot water bath (160°F) until the contents are revert back to its liquid state and optically transparent. Cool the PART A bottle to 75°F and the mix the proper amount of PART B curing agent. (see STEP 2) USE AND APPLICATION Precondition both bottles to 75°F and measure the components accurately at a 2:1 mix ratio; 100 parts resin to 50 parts curing agent. The use of a weighing scale is recommended over volumetric measuring. Any off-ratio excess of either the resin or curing agent can cause poor cure results and cause excessive chemical leaching that can transfer to the food or beverage. The substrate must be suitable and prepared for the intended purpose of the application. Remove any contaminants that may interfere with the complete cure of the MAX CLR resin system. Exclude the use of materials and components not suitable for food contact (lead-based pigments, harsh cleaners, and unsanitary conditions). PROPER CURING Allow the applied resin to fully cure for a minimum of 48 hours at 75°F before exposing the coating to any foodstuffs. A short heat post cure at 150°F for 60 to 90 minutes will ensure the resin is fully cured. Rinse the cured coating with warm water and mild detergent before allowing any food contact.STORAGESecure caps for both bottles and store above 65°F minimum temperature to prevent re-crystallization.The resin system will remain viable for 12 months or longer.DETAILED GUIDE ON HOW TO USE THIS RESIN SYSTEMReview All Published Data Regarding This Product. 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. STEP 1. SURFACE PREPARATION The 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.Improper surface wetting yields poor adhesion and will delaminate during use.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 primary 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. Do not apply the coating over oil-based stain as this will cause 'crawling' or dewetting. Lightly sand the surface until the surface tension of the treated wood is adequate for coating.
