Epoxy 2:1 5010 Crystal Marble Glue 2.25kg

Properties:    STURDMAX® Epoxy 5010 Crystal Glue is a gel-like, solvent-free, two-component adhesive based on an

epoxy resin containing a cycloaliphatic polyamine hardener. The product is characterized by the following properties:

- very neutral colour

- very low tendency to yellow

- easy dosing and mixing by use of cartridge system

- high creeping strength due to gel-like consistency

- very low shrinkage during the hardening process and therefore low tensions in the bonding layer

- weather-resistant bondings

- easy colouring with STURDMAX®Colouring Pastes or Colouring Concentrates

- good dimensional stability of the bonding layer

- low tendency to fatigue

- very good alkali-stability, thus the adhesive is very well suited to bond concrete

- excellently suited for bonding gas-impermeable materials as it is a solvent-free product

- good adhesion on slightly humid stones

- suited for bonding materials which are sensitive to solvents (e.g. expanded polystyrene,ABS)

Application Area:   STURDMAX® Epoxy Crystal Glue is mainly used in the stone-working industry for the weather-resistant bonding and glueing of natural stone (marble, granite), Techno

Ceramics as well as artificial stone or building materials (terrazzo,concrete). By means of the

application of high- quality raw materials it was possible to develop a system which hardly

yellows. It is thus possible to use it in combination with light-coloured or even white natural

stone without the usual intensive yellowing of conventional epoxy-resin systems. Because of its supple, gel-like consistency the product has a high creeping strength on vertical

surfaces. It is nevertheless possible to attain thin adhesive joints. Other materials can also be

glued with STURDMAX® Epoxy Crystal Glue, e.g.plastics (hard PVC, polyester, polystyrene,ABS, polycarbonates), paper,wood, glass and many other materials.STURDMAX Epoxy Crystal Glue is not suitable for the gluing of polyolefins (polyethylene, polypropylene), silicones,hydrocarbon  fluorides (Teflon), soft PVC, soft polyurethane, butyl rubber and metal.

Instructions for Use:

A.Products in cans   

1.Thoroughly clean and slightly roughen surfaces to be bonded.

2.Thoroughly mix 2 parts (volume or weight) of component A with1 part (volume or weight) of component B until a homogeneous shade of colour is achieved.

3. STURDMAX® Colouring Pastesor Colouring Concentrates can be added up to max. 5%.
4. 4.  Themixtureremains workable for approx. 20 - 30

   minutes (20°C).After approx. 6-8 hours (20°C) the bonded

   parts may be moved, After 12 -16 hours (20°C) approx. they may be further processed. Maximal stability after 7 days(20°C).

   5. Toolscanbe cleaned with Nitro-Dilution.
   6. Thehardeningprocess is accelerated by heat and delayed by cold.

   B.Cartridge System

   1.Thoroughly clean and slightly roughen surfaces to be bonded.

   2. Remove theclasp from the cartridge and put the cartridge in the gun; work the grip until material emerges from both openings; then eventually screw up the mixing nozzle.

   3.STURDMAX® Colouring Pastes or Colouring Concentrates can be added up to max.5%.

   4. Bothcomponents must be thoroughly mixed when working without mixing nozzle.
   5. Themixtureremains workable for approx.20-30 minutes(20°C).After approx. 6 -8 hours (20°C) the bonded parts may be moved. After 12- 16 hours (20°C) approx. they may be further

   processed. Maximal stability after 7 days(20°C).

   6. Toolscanbe cleaned with Nitro-Dilution.
   7. Thehardeningprocess is accelerated by heat and delayed by cold.

    

   Special Notes:

   - Suitable for bonding of load-bearing construction parts, however, the relevant standards such as DIN 18516 part 1 and part 3 or DIN 2304 must be observed during application.

   - Only if the right mixing ratio is kept, optimal mechanical and chemical properties can be obtained. A surplus of adhesive or hardener has the effect of a softener and can cause

   discolouration in the marginal zone.

   - Single Mix cartridges are not suitable for compressed-air guns or guns with mechanical pistons.

   - Two separate spatulas should be used for the adhesive and the hardener.

   - An adhesive is no longer to be used if it has already thickened or is jellying.

   - The product is not to be used at temperatures below 10°C because it will not sufficiently harden.

   - At constant temperatures above 50°C the hardened adhesive tends to yellowing.

   - The hardened adhesive can no longer be removed by means of solvents. This can only be achieved mechanically or by applying higher temperatures(>200°C).

   - The A-component slightly tends to crystallize (honey effect). The product can be made workable again by warming it up.

   - The stability of the bonding depends on the natural stone to be bonded: silicate-bound stone reacts better than carbonate-bound stone.
