SUN-FIX Liquid Epoxy Adhesive, TRANSPARENT

Transparent self leveling adhesive that retains elasticity after curing

Product Description

Features
● Two-component, high temperature resistant, fast-curing, high-strength epoxy adhesive.
● Features a very short pot life and a fast-curing structure.
● Temperature resistant up to +180°C and self-leveling.
● Provides mechanically strong, impact-resistant bonds thanks to its high tensile and impact strength.
● Suitable for use on a wide range of materials including metal, plastic, fiber-reinforced materials, ceramics, glass, stone, and wood.
● Offers a wide range of applications in industrial uses, glass applications, and DIY (Do-It-Yourself) applications.
● Resistant to chemicals and diluted acid solutions.
● Pot life is based on approximately 10 ml of material at room temperature. Larger quantities will result in faster curing.
● Higher temperatures reduce both pot life and curing time. Each +10°C increase above room temperature approximately halves the pot life and curing time.
● Temperatures below +16°C significantly increase pot life and curing time.
● At approximately +5°C and below, no reaction occurs.
Surface Preparation
● For optimal adhesion, surfaces must be clean and free from grease.
● Foreign materials and loose particles must be removed, and the surface should be roughened with suitable sandpaper if possible.
● After mechanical abrasion, the surface must be cleaned of loose particles.
Application
● Dispense equal amounts of both components by pushing the dual cartridge through both nozzles.
● Mix both components until a homogeneous color is achieved.
● Apply quickly to only one side of the surface to be bonded or filled.
● After opening and reusing the cartridge, discard the first 1 cm of extruded material as the components may have been affected by different exposure conditions.
● Pot life is based on approximately 10 ml of material at room temperature. Larger quantities will result in faster curing.
