ResinLab® EP1026 Clear Part A
ResinLab® EP1026 Clear Part A is a two part unfilled epoxy adhesive designed for high speed bonding of metals, ceramics, and most plastics. It cures to a tough semi-rigid material, and is free flowing in viscosity. It gives good resistance to water, salt spray, inorganic acids and bases, and most organic solvents. It was especially formulated to a 1:1 mix ratio for use in either MMD equipment or side-by-side dual cartridges for easy dispensing. A handling cure is normally achieved at room temperature within 20-30 minutes with full cure in 24 hours. An elevated temperature cure schedule can be used to reach final properties quickly.

- Side By Side Cartridge Suitability Rating
This rating scale is a general guideline to give the user an expected level of success in a typical bench-top dispensing scenario. Important process variables to consider are: Cartridge type and size, wall thickness; manual or pneumatic gun type; static mixer design and dimensions; product viscosity spread and ratio; shot size, shot frequency, flow rate; temperature range during use. This scale also address's product stability in a cartridge. Factors such as filler content and settling rate, storage temperature and cartridge orientation are important factors which affect this. It is important for the user to define the optimum static mix for each dispensing process, a change in any of the above variables can affect the mix quality. Dispensing the product on a flat surface using the dispensing pattern can help show the quality of mixing in terms of thoroughness and lead/lag consistency.; * Asterisk denotes values considered typical to associated resin systems or extrapolated from other test results.; ** Temperature Rating is based on average design requirements and is not intended as a guarantee of suitability for all applications operating at that temperature.; Notes: Values presented above are considered to be typical properties, not to be used for specification purposes. Contact our Technical Department for further information. Many epoxy resin systems are prone to crystallization as epoxy resin is a super-cooled fluid. This condition may give the product a gritty or grainy appearance (or hazy in clear products). Products in this state will not usually cure to normal and expected properties. In extreme cases it may appear solid and cured. Fluctuating temperatures (within 5 to 50°C) aggravate this phenomena. Heating the individual component to 50 to 60 oC while stirring can usually restore products to original state. Storage at 25 +/- 10°C is optimum for most products.
