Technical Information Epoxy Filler
2-compontent, solvent-free epoxy fine putty for the use above water and especially underwater environment on all customary boatbuilding materials. The putty levels out slight unevennesses and fills capillary cracks. It is extremely water-resistant and scarcely shrinks. Especially recommended for the repair of osmosis damages.
Physical and chemical data
- Basis: Epoxy resin
- Colour: A-Component white; B-Component grey
- Smell: A-Component light , B-Component amine
- Form: A-Component: pasty / B-Component: pasty
- Potlife: approx. 45 min. at 15°C; approx. 15 min. at 25°C
- Working temperature: min. 12°C
- Drying time (at 20°C, 50% relative air humidity):
Overcoating intervals: 6 hours
New putty application at 20°C after max. 24 hours
Sandable after approx. 24 hours
The final hardness is achieved after approx. 5 days.
Increased chemical resistance and firmness is achieved by afterwards post-curing at 50°C for 24 hours. - Flashpoint: A-Component >100°C, B-Component >100°C
- Density at 20°C: A-Component 1,8 g/cm³, B-Component 1,8 g/cm³
- Addition of hardener:
A-Component (Basis) : B-Component (Hardener)
= 2 : 1 weight parts - Temperature resistance of the cured material: 70°C
- Disposal:
Put only empty cans into the recycling bin. Bring cans with remainders of paint to the special refuse disposal. - Storage stability:
24 months if proper storage provided (=10°-25°C, relative air humidity of max. 60%) in the closed original container. With increasing storage the harder looses slightly of effectiveness, thereby is a minimum increasing of drying time possible. Protect from direct sunlight, frost and humidity. - Package/contents:
A-Component (Basis) 333g in tin plate can
B-Component (Hardener): 167g in tin plate can
Environment and labelling
Environmentally sound: European Aerosols is committed to apply formulations without restricted or critical ingredients and to achieve best possible performance. The caps and packagings are made of recyclable material.
Disposal: Only the completely emptied cans should be put into the recycling skip or appropriate container for reclaimable refuse. Cans which are not empty should be disposed off as "special refuse".
Marking/Labelling: All products made by European Aerosols comply with the actual labelling regulations according to Preparation Guideline 1999/45/EG. All aerosols correspond to TRGS 200 and TRG 300 as well as to aerosol guideline 75/324/EWG in the actually valid version.
Pre-treatment:
- No primer necessary.
- The surface has to be clean, dry and free from wax and fat.
- Before application of the putty, abrade or prime the ground.
- Carefully remove swarf emerging from sanding.
Application:
- Putty (A-Component) and hardener (B-Component) have to be dosed exactly and mixed thoroughly.
- The mixing ration putty : hardener is 2 : 1 by weight.
- The putty can be applied up to a height of 2 cm per workstep without shrinking.
- The open working time is 1 hour at +20° C.
- Within 24 hours the repair area can be sanded.
- To optimize the adhesion, we recommend to sand the previous layer slightly before the next workstep.
