| Resinlab™ EP1287 is a two part filled, flame retardant epoxy syntactic foam. It utilizes glass microspheres to reduce cured density and improve machinability. This product will be self-extinguishing when tested to the FAR 25-853 specification. It also provides excellent protection against water, humidity, salt spray and other chemicals. It was formulated to an easy 2:1 volume mix ratio for use in meter-mix and dispense equipment. EP1287 will cure to a firm handle strength at room temperature in about 4 to 8 hours. Full cure requires 24 hours. Cure time can be accelerated by the application of heat. Time to heat substrate must be taken into account. Cooler temperatures will also extend work time and increase cure times. Warming the cartridge will aid in increasing dispensing flow rate and boost cure speed. Depending upon method used to warm the cartridge care should be taken to avoid localized overheating. If a microwave is used, any metal components should be removed and user should carefully determine optimum time for each microwave as they can vary in power output.Information Provided by Resinlab L.L.C., an Ellsworth Adhesives Company. |
