| Pre-accelerated bonding paste based on unsaturated polyester resin. Cures at room temperature (15 - 25°C). Cured using MEKP peroxide. Appearance: IHB : Quality with slow reactivity. TC : Contains catalyst indicator Use Areas: Product is suitable for many types of thin joint bonding of composite parts. Application: Surface to be bonded should be free from dust and contaminants which can adversely affect the bond adhesion strength. Preparation of surface is recommended using light abrasion / sanding followed by cleaning with appropriate solvent. The bonding paste is ready to use and reaction is initiated using the correct dosage of correct peroxide. Typical dosage is 1% to 2% w/w under normal workshop application conditions (15-25°C). Mix thoroughly to ensure homogeneous catalyst dispersion (this is assisted by use of catalyst indicators which change color in TC version). Apply a uniform bead of bonding paste onto one of the surfaces and press parts together evenly to obtain the desired thickness of bond. Typically the thickness of the joint should be between 0,7mm and 5mm. Allow sufficient time for cohesive bond to form between laminates before handling bonded parts. Properties / Advantages: Semi rigid bonding paste for static bonding applications. Bonding paste without fibers for thin joints. Very smooth consistency, and easy to apply with a spatula or comb applicator. Due to its non shrinkage characteristics, dimensional stability of part is maintained during the curing cycle of the paste. Low density performance after complete cure. Storage / Shelf Life: Shelf-life : 4 Months. When the product is sealed in its original packing, stored indoors away from direct sunlight and direct heat sources and ideally at ambient temperature between 15°C and 25°C .
