Kavan KAV9963 Epoxy 5min 2K epoxy adhesive 2x100g (resin + hardener)

Clear, very fast curing two-component epoxy adhesive with a high strength resistant to fuel, solvents and vibration. It is easy to sand after full cure. It does not become brittle with age. It bonds wood, glass laminate, carbon composite, aluminum, copper, steel, brass, concrete, glass, rigid plastics, foamed polystyrene, etc.

Properties

• Mixing ratio of components: 1:1 (by volume and weight)
• Initial color: clear
• Final color: clear
• Viscosity (after mixing): 5000-10000 mPa.s
• Working time (for gelation): approx. 5 min (20 °C to 25 °C)
• Bonded parts can be loaded: after 15-20 minutes
• Half strength: after 10-15 minutes
• Full strength: after 2-3 hours
• Full curing: 16-24 hours
• Minimum shear strength: 20 N/mm²
• Temperature resistance of the bonded joint: -40 °C to +120 °C

Removal of excess uncured adhesive: cloth or paper handkerchief moistened with methylated spirit.

Adhesive thinner: thinner for epoxy paint types S6300 (the use of thinners prolongs the curing time and reduces the final strength of the bond - if you need a "thinner" epoxy adhesive, use the epoxy adhesive for laminating or finishing with a lower viscosity).

It will act as a filler, suitable fillers: microballoon filler, talc, baby powder, diatomaceous earth, fine balsa or basswood sawdust, chopped fiberglass. Attention - the addition of a filler can shorten the working time by up to 25% and (depending on the type and amount of filler used) reduce the strength of the joint.

Suitable for bonding: soft and hard wood, chipboard, plywood, metal, foamed polystyrene, ceramics, porcelain, glass and carbon laminates, glass and carbon fabrics and fibers.

Unsuitable for bonding: of soft and flexible plastics (incl. EPP and EPO), polyethylene, Teflon.

Storage: In tightly closed packaging, cool, dry and dark (at temperatures between 10 °C and 25 °C). Do not expose the adhesive to temperatures below 10 °C. Be careful not to mix up the resin and hardener caps - even a small amount of hardener can decompose a large amount of resin.

Shelf life: If the conditions for proper storage are observed, we guarantee shelf life in the original unopened packaging for a period of 1 year, maintaining the above product properties. Practical experience shows that the epoxy resins based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin retain perfect properties for many years if stored properly (see also the note 2). If you buy a package of adhesives suitable for your consumption, you practically do not have to "pay attention" to their service life.

Note 1: The curing of the adhesive depends mainly on the ambient temperature. If you mix a large amount of epoxy adhesive at once (usually more than 20 to 30 g), it can cure much faster. To maintain a longer working time, the adhesive must be cooled in a water bath, for example. This is due to the fact that heat is released during the reaction of the resin and hardener, and at the same time the resin hardens faster at higher temperatures. And because as the volume increases, the weight of the resin (and thus the amount of heat generated) increases faster than the size of the outer surface from which the heat is released to the environment, a larger amount of resin heats up faster and it cures faster. The cube with a side of 1 cm has a volume of 1 cm³ and a surface area of 6 cm² - a ratio of 6:1, while the cube with a side of 2 cm has a volume of 8 cm³ and a surface area of 24 cm² - a ratio of only 3:1!

Note 2: Originally clear and quite liquid epoxy resins based on bisphenol A and epichlorohydrin can sometimes thicken (saccharify like a bee honey) and lose transparency - this is due to low temperatures, humidity or time. By carefully heating in hot water (60-70 °C) for a few minutes until the resin becomes clear again in its entire volume, you will get the resin back "like new" with its original properties.

Packing: 2x bottle 100g (resin + hardener).
