SAFETY DATA SHEET BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT
SURFACE PREPARATION:
For best results clean area to be repaired to remove loose dirt,
scale and oils. Use MEK or a simular solvent and a degreaser if
oils are present. If possible sand or grind the area with course
paper or disk.
MIXING:
Break off the required amount from the tube. Knead by hand
thoroughly to produce an even colored, streak-free material.
Recommended use of lightweight rubber or latex gloves to prevent
any skin irritation.
THINNING: If desired, thin with Kelone blend
from 5% to 7.5% by volume
APPLICATION:
Use heavy plastic squeegee or putty knife. Work material into
profile of substrate to achieve maximum adhesion and to remove
any entrapped air. Contour to correct form with putty knife or
plastic applicator. If mold or form is used, coat its surface
with a release agent to prevent adhesion of the material.
Machining is possible using diamond tipped tools only. Sanding
Grinding is possible if done within 1 hour of application at
77ºF, 25ºC. Caution: Material cures rapidly. Use only the
quantity of material which can be easily applied within 4 to 5
minutes. Spreading mixed material on a mixing board or other
flat surface will extend the working life. Large holes and
cracks can be bridged with glass or metal cloth.
APPLICATION TEMPERATURE:
Material: Keep between 55 to 95ºF (17 to 35ºC).
Substrate: keep between 45 to 105ºF (7 to 40ºC). The difference
in temperature of the substrate and the material should never
exceed 10ºF, 5ºC. Substrate shall be a minimum of 5ºF (3ºC)
above dew point. Do not apply if relative humidity exceeds 90%.
If necessary heat the metal prior to surface preparation using
electric heater or heat lamp. Never use gas, oil or kerosene
heaters as they will leave a greasy residue on metal surface.
For best results keep all material in warm area overnight
(75ºF+) for ease of mixing.
Caution: Material cures
rapidly. Use only the quantity of material which can be easily
applied within 4 to 5 minutes. Heating will accelerate cure
time.
OVERCOAT / CURE TIME:
Recoat as soon as possible while material is still soft,
within 1 hour at 77ºF, 25ºC. If overcoat window is exceeded
abrade surface with course sandpaper, grinder or brush blast.
Full cure before immersion 45 minutes at 77ºF. Add 10 minutes
additional cure time for each 10ºF below 77ºF. Subtract 15
minutes of cure time for each 10ºF above 77ºF.
CLEAN UP: Clean tools immediately after use
with M.E.K., Acetone or similar
WARNING: Base contains
epoxy resin. Activator contains alkaline amines, a strong
sensitizer. May cause skin irritation, sensitization or other
allergic responses. Use with good ventilation, particularly if
heated or sprayed. Prevent all contact with skin or eyes. Wear
protective clothing, goggles, gloves or barrier creams. Keep
containers closed when not in use. Wash thoroughly after
handling. In case of skin contact immediately wash with soap and
water. In case of eye contact, flush with water for 15 minutes.
If irritation persists seek medical attention.
