Processing Parameters

Condition both components to 77°F. Carefully blend T component into R component. Mix for 12 seconds with a high speed drill motor (3,500 rpm). Pour contents into a mold preheated to 105-125°F. Mold to 8 pcf or higher. For optimum high heat stability, post cure part in mold at 200°F for two hours or 25°F in excess of the maximum anticipated service temperature, not to exceed 375°F. Cool mold below 100°F before demolding part
