Advantages of Two-component Epoxy Resin Adhesive Extreme strength and resistance to thermal and mechanical influences Resistant to most aggressive substances and oils Available solvent free and BPA free It hardens even under water Compatible with a wide range of additives such as dyes and accelerators Expedited Potlife Application – BestPractice At room temperature (15-30 C The mixing ratio of the two components of 1: 1 is maintained automatically. Do not apply below 5 C outdoor temperature. The higher the ambient temperature, the more effectively the material polymerizes. This means that resistance increases at higher temperatures. It is recommended to have a cloth ready for cleaning. In addition, care must be taken that the work surface is protected and can be cleaned directly if necessary. The surface should be slightly roughened, because only then is the epoxy adhesive guaranteed to bond well with the material. To do this, you can sand or file the surface. To spread the sticker, a piece of cardboard or plastic is useful. After use, clean the tube so that the lid does not stick, and then close it tightly. The thickness of the adhesive should be thin enough (0.1-0.2 mm), but if necessary it can be thicker. The parts to be glued must be clean and free of oil and grease. Apply the adhesive on one side and join and press the parts to be glued. The potlife is about 5 minutes, good endurance is achieved after about 10-12 minutes, and total endurance after about 24 hours. Pot life is limited in time and describes the maximum working time of the uncured adhesive. Once the pot life has passed, the adhesive not yet applied must not be further processed, but must be disposed of! Until the manual force is reached, the binding must be additionally fixed, for example, with the help of a vice, adhesive tape or clamp. In the case of heat-assisted polymerisation, the temperature resistance of the joined parts must be guaranteed. In addition, the heating and cooling times of the parts to be joined must be respected. This time must be added to the curing time of the adhesive. Tension can occur in the glued joint during heating and cooling. With materials such as PP, PE, PTFE or silicone, the parts need to be pretreated with our primer. The need for a primer depends on the surface tension. If this is high enough it can be tested with water droplets on the surface. If the drops adhere well to the surface, a good bond is most likely. If the drops slip away, a primer is probably needed. Mixing There are several ways to mix the two components: - Mixing by hand - Use of a static mixing nozzle - Use of a dynamic mixing nozzle Hand mixing is sufficient in most cases. For this purpose, a toothpick or similar is used and the two components are mixed until a cloudy mass is formed. Make sure that no bubbles remain. When using a static mixing nozzle, the mixing of both components takes place inside the mixing nozzle so that the mixing is ideal. The first 2g should be discarded, given they are not yet mixed 1:1. However, the mixing nozzle can only be used until the adhesive in the mixing nozzle has dried. After that, you will need a new nozzle. W With a dynamic mixing nozzle, the speed of the mixer can be controlled electronically. This allows you to control the mixing intensity very precisely. However, this is intended for special industrial applications and is not necessary for everyday use. Harden The adhesive is chemically cured. This gives the advantage that gluing the surface is also possible, where adhesives that harden with moisture take a very long time. The bond is high strength and densely flexible. Thus, permanent resistance can be guaranteed in the event of shocks and vibrations. The use of the polymerised adhesive is also possible at high temperatures (up to about 120C), for a short time (30 min) up to 200C The polymerised adhesive has good resistance to physical (e.g. sunlight) or chemical (moisture, detergents, chemicals, etc.) influences. The great advantage of two-component epoxy adhesive is the fact that it hardens even under water and is robust. In addition, it is mouldable, so it can be inserted into any recess to fit.

Choose the Amber Onyx Effect Kit with Epoxy resin for an easy and elegant transformation of the worktop. Purchase your kit now and elevate your space with the warmth and beauty of caramel marble. Guide Instructions: Step N1: Primer Start by carefully measuring the amount needed to cover the surface based on the consumption of 150 g/m2, making sure to follow the proportions indicated to obtain a homogeneous mixture. Once the base has been prepared, proceed with adding the dye, choosing between white or black depending on your needs. The quantity of colourant to add to the mixture can be measured in a few drops (max 5% by volume). This step is crucial to achieve the desired colour and ensure uniformity of the application. Before applying the primer, it is essential that the surface intended for treatment is adequately prepared. Sand the surface with a coarse grit (40 or 60) before any operation. Make sure it's completely clean, using a soft cloth or brush to remove any pigment, dirt or debris. The surface must also be completely dry; residual humidity can compromise the adhesion of the primer and its effectiveness in sealing the surface. Once the surface is ready, apply the mixture evenly, using a suitable tool such as a brush, roller or spatula, depending on the size of the area to be treated and your personal preference. The key is to get a thin, even layer that can cover the entire area without leaving gaps or excessive product build-up.. After application, it is essential to allow the primer to dry completely before proceeding with further treatments or finishes on the surface. The recommended waiting time is 12 hours; this range may vary slightly depending on environmental conditions, such as humidity and temperature, but offers a good compromise to ensure the mixture has time to dry and adhere properly. During this period, avoid touching or stressing the treated surface to ensure optimal results. Don't worry if you notice any discrepancies on the surface, the next main pour will level everything perfectly. Step N2: application Start by applying masking tape around the perimeter of your countertop to contain the epoxy you're about to pour. This step is essential to ensure the resin stays where it is needed. After applying the resin, wait about 1.5 hours before gently removing the tape. To ensure coverage is even and complete, plan to use approximately 1.6kg of resin for every square meter of surface area. When you are ready to mix the resin, use a drill equipped with a paddle mixer for quick and even action (use at low speed), taking about 2 minutes for this operation. If you prefer to mix by hand, be prepared to take double the time. Don't forget to scrape the sides and bottom of the container halfway through the process with a stick to ensure all the material is mixed well. Next, separate the already mixed resin into different glasses and add the desired colours, mixing the different colours in the different glasses until you obtain an intense and uniform colour per single glass. To create a striking visual effect, pour the coloured resin in random layers into a larger bucket, being careful not to mix the colours together too much. After filling the bucket, spread the contents over the surface of the worktop, leaving a small amount of resin aside to finish the edges later. To remove trapped air bubbles, gently run a propane torch or heat gun over the surface. Once the adhesive tapes have been removed, approximately 1.5 hours after application, if there are any dry edges, moisten them slightly by wearing a protective glove to promote an even appearance. Use appropriate tools, such as spatulas or plastic scrapers, to spread and level the resin along the edges, making sure to cover the entire area well. After letting the resin cure for 24 hours, you can apply a clear top coat or PoliShield scratch-resistant paint to further protect the surface. Finally, for even more refined visual effects, spray 99.9% isopropyl alcohol onto the surface just before the resin begins to fully harden. This will create unique lacy textures. Remember that when you remove the tape, it is essential that the resin is partially hardened, neither too liquid nor completely solid, to avoid unwanted drips. Attention! Safety Guidelines for Using Isopropyl Alcohol (99.9%) Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is a highly flammable substance. Improper use—especially near heat sources like torches or heat guns—can result in fire or explosion. To ensure safe use, follow these precautions: Primary Risks Highly flammable: IPA vapors can ignite from sparks, open flames, or hot surfaces. Forms explosive vapor-air mixtures, especially in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Strictly Prohibited: Using gas torches or heat guns near areas treated with IPA. Spraying IPA near active heat sources. Storing IPA near flames, heaters, or hot tools. Recommended Safety Measures: 1. Ventilation: Always work in a well-ventilated area when using IPA. 2. Wait Time: After applying IPA, wait at least 5–10 minutes to allow complete evaporation before using any heat tools. 3. Safe Distance: Keep IPA containers at least 2 meters (6 feet) away from heat or flame sources. 4. Storage: Store IPA in a tightly sealed container, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures. 5. Fire Safety: Have a CO₂ or dry chemical fire extinguisher nearby when working with flammable substances and open flames. In Case of Fire: Do not use water to extinguish the fire. Use an appropriate extinguisher, cut off air supply if safe, and call emergency services if needed.
