PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
MAX BOND Medium Viscosity A/B is a two-part epoxy based system specially formulated to provide structural bond strength, excellent water resistance for both marine and fresh water and exceptional toughness and impact resistance.
It is long pot life, high-performance mechanical properties, and easy application makes MAX BOND MEDIUM VISCOSITY A/B an ideal resin system for hundreds of application where structural strength is required. MAX BOND MEDIUM VISCOSITY A/B is 100 % solids and does not contain Ozone Depleting Chemicals (ODC) or any known environmental pollutant.
MAX BOND MEDIUM VISCOSITY A/B will cure even in humid and low-temperature conditions. It is generally room temperature cured but can be snap cured at elevated temperatures for a short period of time.
MAX BOND MEDIUM VISCOSITY A/B A/B demonstrates structural bond strengths to a variety of substrates commonly used in composites industry such as steel, aluminum and soft metals, fiberglass, concrete and ceramic and most plastics.
MAX BOND MEDIUM VISCOSITY A/B performs well in wide range of service temperature and resists cracking and delamination due to cyclic vibration, thermal expansion and contraction.

RESIN CRYSTALLIZATION FROM COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE

PARTIALLY CRYSTALLIZED |
CRYSTALLIZED SOLID |
USE BELOW 80°F |
DO NOT USE UNLESS PROCESSED |
DO NOT USE UNLESS PROCESSED |
DO NOT THROW AWAY OR USE THE RESIN UNTIL IT HAS BEEN MELTED BACK TO A FREE-FLOWING LIQUID PHASE BY GENTLE HEATING 120°F TO 150°F.
COMMON AND NOTICEABLE THE EFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
PROCESSING EPOXY RESINS
To counteract the effects of the cold temperature exposure, warm the resin gently by placing it in a plastic bag and immersing it in hot water. Or, place the containers in a warm room and allow it to warm until it is a very clear and liquefied.
Allow the resin to cool 75°f to 80°f maximum before adding the curing agent.
TO MELT THE CRYSTALLIZED RESIN FASTER HIGHER PROCESSING TEMPERATURE CAN BE UTILIZED BY PLACING IT IN A PLASTIC BAG OR MAKE SURE THAT THE LID IS SECURED TO PREVENT WATER FROM ENTERING THE CONTAINER AND IMMERSE IT IN HOT WATER , 140°F TO 180°F UNTIL ALL TRACES OF THE CRYSTALLIZED RESIN IS ONCE AGAIN A CLEAR LIQUID. THE CONTAINER CAN WITHSTAND 212°F (BOILING POINT OF WATER).
THE RESIN SHOULD REVERT BACK INTO A LIQUID IN LESS THAN 20 MINUTES. ALLOW THE RESIN TO COOL BELOW 80°F BEFORE ADDING THE CURING AGENT. A POLYMER RESIN'S PHYSICAL PROPERTY SUCH AS ITS VISCOSITY AND CURE RATE ARE HIGHLY AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE.
CAUTION
ALTHOUGH THE POLYMERIZATION HAS SLOWED DUE TO THE COLDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS MIXING THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT ABOVE 80°F AS IT WILL CAUSE RAPID POLYMERIZATION AND HIGH EXOTHERMIC HEAT BUILDUP THAT CAN EXCEED 300°F EXOTHERMIC HEAT WHEN KEPT IN MASS.
THE BEST WORKING CONDITION IS TO PREWARM THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT TO 70°F TO 75°F PRIOR TO MIXING AND ALLOW IT TO CURE AT AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE NO LOWER THAN 65°F FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS.
BASIC EPOXY RESIN MIXING AND USAGE APPLICATIONS
PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO FOR THE PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESINS. IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPER TECHNIQUE OF MIXING ANY TYPE OF EPOXY RESIN. THE PROPER CURE AND FINAL PERFORMANCE OF ANY EPOXY RESIN SYSTEM IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE QUALITY AND THOROUGHNESS OF THE MIX. THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT MUST BE MIXED TO HOMOGENEOUS CONSISTENCY.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MEASURE, MIX, DISPENSE OR APPLY ANY OF OUR MAX EPOXY RESIN IN ONE CONVENIENT KIT
Proportioning the correct amount is equally as important to attain the intended cured properties of the resin system.
The container in which the epoxy and curing agent is mixed is an important consideration when mixing an epoxy resin system.
The container must withstand the tenacity of the chemical and must be free of contamination.
Most epoxy curing agent has a degree of corrosivity, as a general practice, protective gloves should be worn when handling chemicals of the same nature.
