Glue EPOXY Z-POXY 5min 237ml (8fl oz)

Product detailed description

Very fast-curing, two-component epoxy adhesive with high strength, resistant to fuels and vibrations; easy to sand after complete curing. Does not become brittle with aging.

Properties

• Mixing ratio of components: 1:1 (volume and weight)
• Initial color: clear opalescent to slightly yellowish
• Final color: slightly yellowish
• Working time (until gelling): 4-6 min (18 ° C to 27 ° C)
• The bonded parts can be handled: after 30 min
• Full curing: 16 h
• Gap-filling ability: max. 6 mm
• Hardness (Shore, D): 75-83 (after full cure)
• Shear strength (on steel): 8270kPa (±20%)
• Shear strength (on aluminum): 3790 kPa (±20%)
• Temperature resistance of the glued joint: -40 °C to +80 °C

Removing excess uncured adhesive: cloth or paper towel moistened with denatured alcohol.

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

Use as a sealant, suitable fillers: microballoons, talc, baby powder, diatomaceous earth, fine balsa or linden sawdust, chopped glass fibers. Caution - adding filler can reduce working time by up to 25% and (depending on the type and amount of filler used) can reduce the strength of the bond.

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

Not suitable for bonding: soft and flexible plastics (including EPP and EPO), polyethylene, Teflon.

Storage: in a tightly closed container, in a cool, dry and dark place. Do not expose to temperatures below 5°C. Be careful not to mix up the resin and hardener caps - even a small amount of hardener can spoil a large amount of resin.

Shelf life: If the conditions of proper storage are observed, the manufacturer guarantees a shelf life of 1 year while maintaining the above-mentioned product properties. Practical experience shows that ZAP epoxies retain their excellent properties for many years when stored properly (see also Note 2) – if you purchase a package of adhesive appropriate for your consumption, you practically do not have to “deal” with its lifespan at all.

Note 1: The curing of the adhesive depends primarily on the ambient temperature; if you mix a larger amount of epoxy at once (typically more than 20-30 g), it can cure much faster – to maintain a longer working time, it is necessary to cool the adhesive, e.g. in a water bath. This is due to the fact that heat is released during the reaction of the resin and hardener, and at the same time, it is true that the resin cures faster at a higher temperature. And since the mass of the resin (and thus the amount of heat generated) increases faster with increasing volume than the size of the external surface from which the heat is dissipated to the environment, a larger amount of resin heats up and cures faster.

Note 2: Initially clear and quite fluid epoxy resins can sometimes thicken ("sugarize" like bee honey) and lose transparency - this is due to exposure to low temperatures, humidity or time. By carefully heating in hot water (60-70 ° C) for a few minutes, until the resin becomes clear throughout the volume, you will get the resin "as new", with its original properties again. This is the official recommendation of the manufacturer. A quick but slightly risky alternative procedure is to heat the resin in a microwave for 10-15 seconds at 750 W. Caution! The container with the resin must be open to prevent it from splashing out if it is overheated.
