Description
I HEART WOOD SHINE EPOXY COATING IS A Super Gloss epoxy resin, is UV Stable and designed to give a thick high gloss clear coating on bar tops and tables. It leaves a glass-like finish now with an anti-yellowing UV additive.This epoxy system will cure rigid with a blush-free, shiny high gloss finish, self-leveling, and smooth coatingThis product provides a fast cure and property development at ambient and low temperatures without accelerators and allows for a quick return to service. The typical pot life on this item is roughly 45-50 minutes based on mass and temperature.Thin-film set time (3mil. film) is roughly 5 hours at 78F. Fast cure and green time while exhibiting low exothermic temperatures (120C.) makes this product ideal for all applications. The full cure is 24 hours at normal conditions.This product cures to a brilliant high gloss finish. The finished product will be very rigid, smooth, clear, and display a brilliant high gloss finish similar to glass.Mix this resin 1:1 by volume.**ONLY IF*** mixing by weight, mix 100 parts of resin into 83 parts of hardener. When mixing this product, make sure to use a round cup & mix thoroughly scraping all sides and bottom of the mixing container. Improperly mixed epoxy can create a major headache. Remember that thermoset plastics are temperature sensitive. Cold weather slows the curing process down, whereas heat speeds curing up. Always try to mix chemicals at room temperature. For best results, try pouring epoxy into the hardener. Pour along the side of the container to help alleviate air entrapment. Mix for at least 3-5 minutes in a round motion until the chemical is clear and free of striations. Allow the mixed components to stand in your mixed cup for at least 5 minutes. This allows for bubbles to rise to the surface. Small castings and potting units may take longer to cure than larger items.This chemical needs to be stored in a dry, safe, temperature-controlled environment. Always keep the lids tightly sealed when not in use. Remember, oxygen and moisture oxidize and can rapidly degrade the epoxy and hardener. Moisture is also a potential issue. Always keep the bottles sealed when not in use.Approved Applications: ? wood & metal coatings? tabletops coatings? craft coatings? jewelry making (small casting or multi-layered) ? hobbyist and craft making? plaques and frames? concrete and pebble coating? fiberglass wet lay-up? waterproofing & sealingAdvantages:? fast cure (24 hours @ room temp.)? fast thin film set of 6 hours? acid, chemical, & moisture resistant? rigid, blush free, super high gloss finish? heat resistance to 165F & intermittent heat resistance up to 300FMix Ratio.......................................1:1 by volumePot-Life .........................................45-50 minutes (100gram mass)Shore Hardness.............................D78Mixed Viscosity............................1200cps.Tensile Strength, psi before cracking .. 7,500Compressive Strength, psi.........15,400Linear Shrinkage, in/in.................0008Chemical Resistance....................excellentMoisture Resistance.....................excellentDielectric Strength, (volt/mil).......550Dielectric Constant, 1mhz............3.2 You will receive part A epoxy and part B curing agent (measured by weight), full instructions, and outstanding customer support with every purchase.
