 COLD TEMPERATURE NOTICE
 
A POLYMER RESIN’S PHYSICAL PROPERTY SUCH AS ITS VISCOSITY AND CURE RATE ARE HIGHLY AFFECTED AND INFLUENCED BY TEMPERATURE.
DURING THE COLDER SEASONS THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT SHOULD BE WARMED TO AT LEAST 75°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) PRIOR TO USE TO REDUCE ITS VICOSITY TO REDUCE AIR BUBBLE ENTRAPMENT AND MAINTAIN ITS WORKING TIME AND PROPER CURE.
 
THE HIGH PURITY EPOXY COMPONENT AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY ACCELERATORS IN ITS FORMULATION ARE SOME OF THE MANY KEY FACTORS THAT CONTROLS ITS COLOR STABILITY. 
 
THE COLD TEMPERATURE WILL ALSO MAKE THE RESIN MUCH THICKER THAN THE  STATED VISCOSITY AND WORKING TIME VALUES STATED ON THE PHYSICAL TABLES CHART.  THIS WILL REDUCE THE POLYMER’S REACTION RATE AND EXTEND ITS CURE TIME.
THIS CAN RECTIFIED BY USING THE MIXED RESIN IN A WARM ROOM AT TEMPERATURES NO LOWER THAN 70°F .
 
 
COMMON AND NOTCIABLE THE EFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 

HIGHER OR THICKER VISCOSITY

LESS ACCURACY IN VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENT DUE TO ITS THICKER CONSISTENCY

CRYSTALAZIED OR SOLIDIFIED RESIN COMPONENT THAT WILL APPEAR AS A WHITE WAX-LIKE CONSISTENCY

MORE BUBBLE ENTRAPMENT DURING MIXING

SLOWER REACTIVITY

LONGER CURE TIMES

LOWER CURED PERFORMANCE DUE TO NONE FULL CURE POLYMERIZATION 
 
CAUTION
ALTHOUGH THE POLYMERZATION HAS SLOWED DUE TO THE COLDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS
MIXING THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT ABOVE 80°F CAN STIL CAUSE RAPID POLYMERIZATION
AND HIGH EXOTHERMIC HEAT BUILD-UP CAN OCCUR THAT CAN
EXCEED 300°F EXOTHERMIC HEAT WHEN KEPT IN  MASS. 
 
DURING SHIPPMENT,THE PACKAGE MAY AND CAN BE EXPOSED TO
TEMPERATURES BELOW 50°F AND MAY CRYSTALIZE THE RESIN COMPONENT OR PART A.
 
THIS CAN BE EASILY REVESE WITH NO ADVERSE AFFECT ON ITS CURED MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OR SHELF LIFE.
 
 
PROCESSING EPOXY RESINS TO COUNTERACT AFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 
TO COUNTER ACT THE AFFECTS OF THE COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE, WARM THE RESIN GENTLY BY PLACING IT IN A SEAL PLASTIC BAG
AND IMMERSE IT IN HOT WATER OR A WARM ROOM AND ALLOW IT TO ACCLIMATE UNTIL IT IS UNIFORMLY AT 75°F TO 80°F MAXIMUM BEFORE
ADDING THE CURING AGENT.
 
1.        PLACE THE BOTH CONTAINERS IN A HOT BOX OR A WARM ROOM AND ELEVATE THE AMBIENT CURE TEMPERATURE TO AT LEAST 75°F TO 80°F.
 
2.        PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS UNDER DIRECT SOLAR HEAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL IT IS WARM TO THE TOUCH.
 
A HEAT POST CURE USING INFRARED LAMPS
(120°F TO 150°F FOR 2 HOURS)
 AFTER IT HAS CURED TO NONE TACKY-DRY TO THE TOUCH WILL INSURE FULL CURE.
 
USE AN INFRARED HEAT LAMP FOR LARGER PARTS IF A PROCESS OVEN IS NOT AVAILABLE

WHICH EPOXY IS BEST FOR YOUR APPLICATION?
 
Epoxy based polymers are one of the most versatile thermoset resins that can be modified into a multitude of applications and fit very specific task as demanded by the application.  It offers ease of use and generally safer to handle over other types of thermoset resins which makes it the choice material for many high performance composites.  
 New ideas demand new technology in material science and the skill to compose its constituent into a synergistic composite.
 
What is impact testing?
Impact testing is one of the most revealing test methods that demonstrate a material’s ability to resist and withstand a high-rate of pressure loading,
 its behavior during and after the impact can define its maximum mechanical property and conditional limits upon its destruction.
 
Why is Impact Testing Important?
The impact resistance of an object provides the ultimate measure of its resistance to its definitive destruction.
Governed by the many laws and dynamics of physics, a skilled chemist or materials engineer
can determine the design equilibrium and ultimate performance by careful analysis of the material’s disassociation and the manner of its destruction.
With this knowledge, other aspects of mechanical performance can be accurately derived and through skilful engineering one can determine:

The impact energies the part can be expected to see in its lifetime,
The type of impact that will deliver that energy, and then
Select a material that will resist such assaults over the projected life span.

PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESINS

DURING COLDER SEASON, THE EPOXY RESIN AND CURING AGENT WILL BE THICKER OR HIGHER IN VISCOSITY.  
TEMPER BOTH COMPONENTS TO AT LEAST 23°C TO 25°C BEFORE MIXING. A GOOD METHOD IS TO PLACE THE BOTTLES IN A WARM ROOM FOR 24 HOURS OR PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS IN A PLASTIC BAG AND SEAL TIGHTLY AND THEN PLACE IN HOT WATER BATH FOR ABOUT 2 TO 4 HOURS. REMOVE FORM THE WATER BATH AND INSURE THAT THE COMPONENTS ARE BELOW 80°F BEFORE MIXING TOGETHER.  THIS WILL LOWER THE VISCOSITY TO THE CONSISTENCY AS SHOWN ON THE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION.
PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO FOR THE PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESIN. IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPER TECHNIQUE OF MIXING ANY TYPE OF EPOXY RESIN REGARDLESS OF MIX RATIO OR FORMULATION.

Through several years of doing business in this ebay forum, I have had the pleasure of meeting hundreds of very talented people and many occasions became very involved with their project.
 My collaboration with Mr. Rod Ham was one that reminded me of the rewards of sharing and lending my capacity for creating polymer products and experience in its use with his adept craftsmanship in woodworking. With his kind permission, I am posting a copy of our correspondence which details our exchange of ideas and fabricating procedure in which in the end our collaboration, yielded this amazing art piece.

MAX CLR-HP FOR COMPOSITE APPLICATIONS
Don’t how much resin to buy to go with the fiberglass?
A good rule of thumb is to calculate 65% fiberglass to 35% resin by weight. Use 60% to 40% as a safe factor. For example:
1 yard of 8 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
 (224/60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed

1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)

1 gallon is 128 fluid ounce

1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams

 So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric, you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin

  Satin Weave Style For Contoured Parts Fabricating
 

Composite Fabricating Basics
 
TYPES OF FABRIC WEAVE STYLE AND SURFACE FINISHING
FOR RESIN TYPE COMPATIBILITY

 
PLAIN WEAVE
Is a very simple weave pattern and the most common style. The warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion. Plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count.

 
8 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE
The eight-harness satin is similar to the four-harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one.
This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces.

 
4 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE
The four-harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one.

 
2×2 TWILL WEAVE
Twill weave is more pliable than the plain weave and has better drivability while maintaining more fabric stability than a four or eight harness satin weave. The weave pattern is characterized by a diagonal rib created by one warp yarn floating over at least two filling yarns.

Satin Weave Style For Contoured Parts Fabricating
 

These styles of fabrics are one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up cowls, fuselages, ducts and other contoured surfaces with minimal distortions. The fabric is more pliable and can comply with complex contours and spherical shapes. Because of its tight weave style, satin weaves are typically used as the surface ply for heavier and courser weaves. This technique helps reduce fabric print through and requires less gel coat to create a smoother surface.

Step Two: Choose the best epoxy resin system for the job
 
The principal role of the resin is to bind the fabric into a homogenous rigid substrate
called a composite laminate or FRP- FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC.
 
The epoxy resin used in fabricating a laminate will dictate how the
FRP will perform when load or pressure is implied on the part.
To choose the proper resin system consider the following factors
that is crucial to a laminate’s performance.
 
SIZE AND CONFIGURATION OF THE PART
(NUMBER OF PLIES  AND CONTOURED, FLAT OR PROFILED)
CONSOLIDATING FORCE
(FREE STANDING DRY OR HAND LAY-UP, VACUUM BAG OR PLATEN PRESS CURING)
CURING CAPABILITIES
(HEAT CURED OR ROOM TEMPERATURE CURED)
LOAD PARAMETERS

(SHEARING FORCE, TORSIONAL AND DIRECTIONAL LOAD, BEAM STRENGTH)

Step Three: Proper Lay-Up Technique
Pre-lay-up notes

Lay out the fabric and precut to size and set aside

Avoid distorting the weave pattern as much as possible

For fiberglass molding, insure the mold is clean and adequate mold release is used 

View our video presentation above “MAX EPOXY RESIN MIXING TECHNIQUE”  

Mix the resin only when all needed materials and implements needed are ready and within reach
Mix the proper amount of resin needed and be accurate proportioning the resin and curing agent.
Adding more curing agent than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure.  
Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance. When mechanical load or pressure is applied on the composite laminate, the physical strength of the fabric should bear the stress and not the resin. If the laminate is oversaturated with the resin it will most likely to fracture or shatter instead of rebounding and resist damage.

Don’t how much resin to use to go with the fiberglass?
 
A good rule of thumb is to maintain a minimum of 30 to 35% resin content by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in high performance prepreg (or pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used in aerospace and high performance structural application.
 
For general hand lay-ups, calculate using 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safe factor.
This will insure that the fabricated laminate will be below 40% resin content depending on the waste factor accrued during fabrication.
 
Place the entire precut fiberglass to be used on a scale to determine the weight ratio between the resin and fabric composition.
 
Typical fabric weights regardless of weave pattern
1 yard of 8 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
 
Ounces per square yard or OSY is also know as aerial weight which is the most common unit of measurement for composite fabrics.
 
If a scale is available, measuring by weight will insure accurate composite fabrication and repeatability, rather than using OSY data.
 
To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation:
(Total Weight of Fabric divided by 60%)X( 40%)= weight of mixed resin needed 
 
fw  = fabric weight
rc = target resin content
rn= resin needed
(fw/60%)x(40%)= rn
 
FOR EXAMPLE
1 SQUARE YARD OF 8-OSY FIBERGLASS FABRIC WEIGHS 224 GRAMS
 
(224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.33 grams of resin needed
 
 So for every square yard of 8-ounce fabric,
It will need 149.33 fluid ounces of mixed resin.
 
Computing for resin and curing agent requirements based on
149.33 grams of resin needed
 
MIX RATIO OF RESIN SYSTEM IS 2:1 OR
50PHR (per hundred resin)
 
2 = 66.67% (2/3)
+
1= 33.33%(1/3)
=
(2+1)=3 or (66.67%+33.33%)=100% or (2/3+1/3)= 3/3
 
149.33 x 66.67%= 99.56 grams of Part A RESIN
149.33 x 33.33%= 49.77 grams of Part B Curing Agent
 
99.56 + 49.77 = 149.33 A/B MIXTURE
 
Common Factors Of 100% Solids (Zero volatiles and unfilled epoxy resin)
 
1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
1 gallon of resin = 231 cubic inches
1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams
 
Apply the mixed resin unto the surface and then lay the fabric
and allow the resin to saturate through the fabric.
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND 
This is one of the most common processing error that yields sub-standard laminates.
By laying the fiberglass unto a film of resin, less air bubbles are entrapped during the wetting-out stage.
Air is pushed up and outwards instead of forcing the resin through the fabric which will entrap air bubbles.
This technique will displace air unhindered  and uniformly disperse through out  the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or spreading.

Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric’s surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminate.
It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.
 
 
 
Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric’s surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminate.
It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.
There are also fabricating techniques that can be employed to yield high performance laminate.
Depending on the size of the part, processes such as high pressure pressing, vacuum bagging and vacuum assisted resin transfer molding are superior methods over hand dry lay-up.  
Air voids or porosity within the laminate is typically where failure propagates when load is applied
(fracturing, compression failure, tearing, torque, tensile strength, creep). 
 

Step Four: Proper Curing
 
Allow the lay-up to cure for 24 hours before handling.
Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. 
The ideal temperature cure condition of most room temperature epoxy resin is 22 to 27 degrees Celsius at 20% relative humidity.
Higher ambient curing temperatures will promote faster polymerization and development of cured mechanical properties.
 
Improving mechanical performance via post heat cure
 
A short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins. Allow the applied resin system to cure at room temperature until for 18 to 24 hours and if possible, expose heat cure it in an oven  or other source of radiant heat (220°F to 250°F) for45 minute to an hour. You can also expose it to direct sunlight but place a dark colored cover, such as a tarp or cardboard to protect it from ultraviolet exposure.
 
In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 250°F and 160°F or lower
if it is under stress or load. 
A short heat post cure will insure that the mixed epoxy system is fully cured,
especially for room temperature cured system that can take up to 7 days to 100% cure
 
Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur if over exposed to high temperature (>250 F).
 
AMINE BLUSH
The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates a carbonate compound
and forms what is called amine blush.
Amine blush is a wax-like layer that forms as most epoxies cure.
  If the epoxy system is cured in extreme humidity (>70%).
It will be seen as a white and waxy layer that must be removed by 
physical sanding of the surface followed by an acetone wipe.
 
Although we have formulated the MAX CLR, MAX BOND and MAX GPE product line to be resistant to amine-blush,
it is recomended not to mix any resin systems in high humidity conditions, greater than 70%.
Always make sure that the substrate or material the epoxy resin system is being applied to
 is as dry as possible to insure the best cured performance.
 
OTHER TYPES OF EPOXY (Polymer)RESIN CURE MECHANISM
LATENT CURING SYSTEMS
Latent epoxy resins are systems that are mixed together at room temperature and will begin polymerization but it will not achieve full cure unless it is exposed to a heat cure cycle. In general, these are high performance systems that demonstrate exceptional performance under extreme conditions such as high mechanical performance under heat and cryogenics temperatures, chemical resistance or any environment that epoxy room temperature system perform marginally or poorly.
  Upon the mixing of the resin and curing agent polymerization will begin and will only achieve partial cure. Some resins may appear cured or dry to the touch,  this state is called ’B-Stage Cure’ ,but upon application of force will either be gummy or brittle almost glass-like and  will dissolve in most solvents. The semi-cured resin must be exposed to an elevated temperature for it to continue polymerization and achieve full cure. 
 
HEAT ACTIVATED CURING SYSTEMS
 This type of epoxy system will not polymerized unless it is exposed to the activation temperature of the curing agent which can be as low as 200F and as high as 400F. In most instances these epoxy system can be stored at room temperature and remain liquid for up to six months and longer 
USE AN INFRARED HEAT LAMP FOR LARGER PARTS IF A PROCESS OVEN IS NOT AVAILABLE

 
UV CURINGSYSTEMS
Similar to “addition cure” or catalytic polymerization, Ultraviolet Curing is another method that has gained popular use in the polymer adhesives and coatings application. It offers a unique curing mechanism that converts a liquid polymer into a solid plastic upon exposure to UV radiation. The two common commercially significant method are “FREE RADICAL INITIATION” and CATIONIC REACTION. In both reaction polymerization occurs via decomposition of a Photoiniator blended within the resin system; upon exposure to adequate wavelength of Ultraviolet energy the photoinitator degrades and casue a ring opening or cleaveage of the photoinitiator molecule and induces rapid polymerization or crosslinking.  These species can be either free radical or cationic  and occurs almost instantaneous creation of a polymer network. 

USE AN INFRARED HEAT LAMP FOR LARGER PARTS IF A PROCESS OVEN IS NOT AVAILABLE
 
POSSIBLE HEAT CURING TECHNIQUES
If an oven is not available to provide the needed thermal post cure, exposing the assemble part to direct solar heat
(sun exposure) for a period will provide enough heat cure for the part to be handled. Other heat curing such as infrared heat lamps can be used if a heat chamber or oven is not available.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MEASURE, MIX, DISPENSE OR APPLY ANY OF OUR MAX EPOXY RESIN IN ONE CONVENIENT KIT
 
Proportioning the correct amount is equally important to insure the intended cured properties of the resin system.
The container in which the epoxy and curing agent is mixed is an important consideration when mixing an epoxy resin system.
 The container must withstand the tenacity of the chemical and must be free of contamination.
Most epoxy curing agent has a degree of corrositivity, as a general practice, protective gloves should be worn when handling chemicals of the same nature.

      If you are looking for a way to Save Money on Energy Bills and Increase the Comfort Level of your home, ARMA FOIL™ is the solution!

      ARMA FOIL™ is the standard in radiant barrier.  It is a Double-Sided, Tear-Resistant, ENERGY STAR® Qualified, Class A/Class 1 Fire-Rated, Clean and Non-Toxic Aluminum Radiant Barrier with a reflectivity of 97%.

What You are Buying:
You are bidding on brand new, 48" wide x 250ft long (1,000sf) rolls of ARMA FOIL™. Different ARMA FOIL™ widths, lengths, and quantities are available in our Ebay Store.

Key Features

Key Features

Double Sided (Aluminum on both sides) for maximum efficiency
Heavy Duty, No-Tear material (holds staples well)
Reflects 97% of radiant heat
Typically pays back within a year and saves for a lifetime
Class A fire rating
Does not mildew and resists pest nesting
Many different uses – attics, walls, floors, crawl spaces, house wraps, metal buildings, and more.
Perforated so as not to trap moisture

How ARMA FOIL™ Works

      Radiation is one of the biggest methods of heat lost or gained by your home.  ARMA FOIL™ blocks up to 97% of this heat transfer.  When ARMA FOIL™ is installed in a house attic or attached to the roof rafters in a commercial building, it will block 97% of the radiant heat from the sun from entering the home or building. This keeps the attic space cooler during the summer which reduces the amount of energy the air conditioner must use to cool down the house or building.  In the winter, ARMA FOIL™ reflects radiant heat back towards the interior of the home, which in turn reduces the amount of energy required to heat the home.

Buy with Confidence

      ARMA FOIL™ is top quality material which is both double sided and industrial strength (it will not tear and holds staples well).  It has both Class A and Class 1 fire ratings and meets the standards for C1313 radiant barriers set forth by the ASTM.

When you buy ARMA FOIL™, you know you are getting top quality radiant barrier.&nbsp Installing radiant barrier is an investment in time and money, so buy the material which will last longer, and provide the best performance.

If you would like to evaluate the material for yourself, simply request a sample and we will mail one to you.    Be sure to do some research and ask questions to be certain you are installing the right type for your particular application.  Feel free to email or call us with any questions (972.283.0163).

A Little Physics – Double Sided Radiant Barrier

      There are two properties of Radiant Barriers which make them effective at stopping radiant heat.  First, because the aluminum is reflective, it reflects the heat on the hot side.  Second, since aluminum has a low emissivity value of 0.03, it doesn’t emit heat on the cold side.  In order to benefit from both of these important properties, you must have aluminum on both sides of the material.  A study by a Texas A&M University Professor demonstrated that double sided radiant barrer was nearly twice as effective at blocking heat as the single sided type.&nbsp If you buy radiant barrier from somewhere else, make sure that it is double sided (you should see aluminum foil on both sides) for maximum effectiveness. 

Perforated vs. Non-Perforated (Vapor Barrier)

      ARMA FOIL™ radiant barrier is perforated while ARMA FOIL-VB™ (Vapor Barrier) is non-perforated.  These 48″ rolls are perforated for general use in attics, cathedral ceilings, walls, crawspaces and more.  If you are using this product as a house wrap, you will need to use ARMA FOIL™ (Perforated); also you can tape the seams to create a true weatherization barrier.  Tape is available for purchase in our Ebay Store

      Attic installations should use ARMA FOIL™ (Perforated).  Never put a non-perforated material on top of or on the outside of existing insulation.  In most climates, this arrangement would trap moisture in the insulation, degrading its performance and possibly leading to mold issues.

  (Perforated)
  (Non-Perforated)

Specifications

      ARMA FOIL™ is a heavy duty material which is much stronger than the premuim or standard grade radiant barriers.  You can’t tear this with your hands!  ARMA FOIL™ comes in various widths, including 16", 18", 24", 26", and 48".  This listing is for 48″ wide rolls.  Other widths are available in our Ebay Store.

Epoxy/Polyamide based resins are one of the best systems to use for applications that will be subject to water immersion or marine environments.  It provides exceptional resistance to saltwater, acidic and caustic compound exposure as well as its inherent anti-corrosion performance as a coating for ferrous metal substrates.
 
DESCRIPTION
MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B is a two-part epoxy/polyamide based resin system specially formulated to provide structural strength to a variety of substrates.  It is the low viscosity version of MAX BOND A/B providing ease of use and faster fabric wetting. 
Fabricated laminants are well suite for use in low temperature or cold weather environments as well as continuous fresh and salt water immersion. MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B demonstrates a moderate pot life to provide the optimum time for the resin to saturate and equalize throughout the fabric for wet lay-up applications.  It is compatible with  fiberglass, carbon fiber, Aramid (Kevlar) and other hybrid fabrics. 
 
MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B will cure at low temperature (below 60ºF) conditions but may require longer cure time to achieve maximum performance. It is generally room temperature cured but can be snap cured at elevated temperatures for a short period of time. 
MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B is 100% reactive solids and does not contain Ozone Depleting Chemicals (ODC)
and it is DOT none corrosive/ none regulated class rating.
 
As a coating or adhesive, MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B demonstrates structural bond strengths to a variety of substrates commonly used in composites industry such as, steel, aluminum and soft metals, fiberglass, concrete and ceramic and most plastics. 
MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B performs well in wide range of service temperature and resists cracking and delamination due to cyclic vibration, thermal expansion and contraction.
 
 COLD TEMPERATURE NOTICE
 
A POLYMER RESIN’S PHYSICAL PROPERTY SUCH AS ITS VISCOSITY AND CURE RATE ARE HIGHLY AFFECTED BY TEMPERATURE.
DURING THE COLDER SEASONS THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT SHOULD BE WARMED TO AT LEAST 75°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) PRIOR TO USE TO REDUCE ITS VICOSITY, REDUCE AIR BUBBLE ENTRAPMENT,  MAINTAIN ITS WORKING TIME AND INSURE PROPER CURE.
 
THE HIGH PURITY EPOXY COMPONENT AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY ACCELERATORS IN ITS FORMULATION ARE SOME OF THE MANY KEY FACTORS THAT CONTROLS ITS HIGH IMPACT PROPERTIES. 
 
THE COLD TEMPERATURE WILL ALSO MAKE THE RESIN MUCH THICKER THAN THE  STATED VISCOSITY AND WORKING TIME VALUES
AS STATED ON THE PHYSICAL TABLES CHART.  THIS WILL REDUCE THE POLYMER’S REACTION RATE AND EXTEND ITS CURE TIME.
THIS CAN RECTIFIED BY PRE=WARMING BOTH COMPONENT AND USING THE MIXED RESIN IN
A CONTROLLED TEMPERATURE ENVIRONMENT NO COOLER THAN 70°F .
 
 
COMMON AND NOTCIABLE THE EFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 

HIGHER OR THICKER VISCOSITY

LOWER CURED PERFORMANCE DUE TO NONE FULL CURE POLYMERIZATION 
CAUTION
ALTHOUGH THE POLYMERZATION HAS SLOWED DUE TO THE COLDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS
MIXING THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT ABOVE 80°F AS IT WILL CAUSE RAPID POLYMERIZATION
AND HIGH EXOTHERMIC HEAT BUILD-UP THAT CAN
EXCEED 300°F EXOTHERMIC HEAT WHEN KEPT IN  MASS. 
 
DO NOT HEAT AND MIX THE RESIN OR CURING AGENT BEYOND 90°F AS IT MAY CAUSE RAPID AND UNCONTROLABLE REACTION.
 
THE BEST WORKING CONDITION IS TO PREWARM THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT TO 70°F TO 75°F PRIOR TO MIXING AND
 ALLOWING IT TO CURE AT AN AMBIENT TEMPERATURE NO LOWER THAN 65°F FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS,
 
 
DURING SHIPPMENT,THE PACKAGE MAY AND CAN BE EXPOSED TO
TEMPERATURES BELOW 50°F AND MAY CRYSTALIZE THE
RESIN COMPONENT OR PART A.
 
THIS CAN BE EASILY REVESE WITH NO ADVERSE AFFECT ON ITS CURED MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OR SHELF LIFE.
 
 
PROCESSING EPOXY RESINS TO COUNTERACT AFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 
TO COUNTER ACT THE AFFECTS OF THE COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE, WARM THE RESIN GENTLY BY PLACING IT IN A  PLASTIC BAG 
AND IMMERSE IT IN HOT WATER OR A WARM ROOM AND ALLOW IT TO ACCLIMATE UNTIL IT IS UNIFORMLY AT 75°F TO 80°F MAXIMUM BEFORE
ADDING THE CURING AGENT.
 
 OTHER HEATING METHODS
1.        PLACE THE BOTH CONTAINERS IN A HOT BOX OR A WARM ROOM AND ELEVATE THE AMBIENT CURE TEMPERATURE TO AT LEAST 75°F TO 80°F.
 
2.        PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS UNDER DIRECT SOLAR HEAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL IT IS WARM TO THE TOUCH.

WHICH EPOXY IS BEST FOR YOUR APPLICATION?
 
Epoxy based polymers are one of the most versatile resins that can be modified into a multitude of applications and can be formulated to
 very specific use and function. It offers ease of use and are generally much safer to handle than polyester and polyurethane based resin system.
  To answer this question, one must determine the load or type of stress that the resin must endure during the life of the fabricated part.
Through analysis of its resistance and conclusively, its ultimate mechanical performance at the point of destruction, one can determine and establish designs parameters  that involves the epoxy resin as an integral part of the composite part.
 
Why is Impact Testing Important?

 The impact resistance of a fabricated part is one of the most important properties of composite’s  ultimate performance.
Impact testing will establish the limits of the composite’s nominal operation and
reveal the maximum amount of energy via rapid impact that it can withstand in a singular and repeated impact events.  
 
 Other important mechanical aspect such as work energy load, maximum energy load and a stress/strain limitations 
 can determined by impact testing.

During summer months or when mixing in high humidity environments, lower the mix ratio to 100 parts Part A Resin to 75 to 80 parts Part B Curing Agent by weight or by volume.
This will provide a higher degree of blush resistance for coating applications. If the MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY is going to be utilized as an adhesive, maintain the 1:1 mix ratio.  As an adhesive, humidity is not a concern since the mixed resin is isolated from moisture by the substrates being bonded together.
 
DURING COLDER SEASON, THE EPOXY RESIN AND THE CURING AGENT WILL BE THICKER OR HIGHER IN VISCOSITY.
TEMPER BOTH COMPONENTS TO AT LEAST 23oC TO 25oC BEFORE MIXING. A GOOD METHOD IS TO PLACE THE BOTTLES IN A WARM ROOM FOR 24 HOURS OR PLACE THE CONTAINERS IN A PLASTIC BAG, SEAL AND PLACE IT IN A HOT WATER BATH FOR 2 TO 3 HOURS. ALLOW THE RESIN KIT TO ACCLIMATE BACK TO ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE MIXING. THIS WILL THIN THE RESIN TO THE CONSISTENCY AS SHOWN ON THE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION.

APPLICATION and USAGE
MAX BOND LV A/B is self-leveling and easily poured into place. It is well suited for mixed meter-dispensing equipment or mix and pour techniques.
Large mixes of up to 300 grams are possible without generating excessive exothermic temperatures.
 
The working time is approximately 90 minutes for a 100-gram total mass and less if mixed in large volumes.
 
Mixing Instructions
Dispense equal parts of Part A and Part B and mix thoroughly until a homogenous consistency is achieved. The mixture will turn translucent milky amber but will clarify when applied in a thin film during curing. Transfer the mixed resin into another clean container and mix for another minute and use.
 
For mix metering application, ensure that an equal flow rate of Part A and Part B is achieved. A 24 element static mixer provides excellent mix results. Attach the static mixer and dispense and discard approximately 1-ounce material before using the material. Dispense the material in on corner of the component casing and allow the material to completely flow through out. This technique will reduce voids and air entrapment.
 
 For Laminating or Reinforcing with Fiber Fabric Materials.
MAX BOND LV A/B works well as a laminating resin for composite fabrics such as canvas, fiberglass, carbon fiber, Aramid fiber and other hybrid and synthetic fabrics. Apply a thin layer of the mixed MAXBOND LV A/B unto the pre-cleaned substrate to be reinforced. Apply a layer of fiberglass and aide the resin to wet-out the fiberglass using a brush and apply subsequent layers of fabric sandwiching a layer of resin until the desire thickness is achieved. Use a rubber squeegee to remove excess resin. Allow curing for 24 hours. If using a vacuum bag technique or a platen press, please review our “Lay-up sequence for bagging operations” bulletin.

Composite Fabricating Basics
 
TYPES OF FABRIC WEAVE STYLE AND SURFACE FINISHING
FOR RESIN TYPE COMPATIBILITY

 
PLAIN WEAVE
Is a very simple weave pattern and the most common style. The warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion. Plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count.

 
8 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE
The eight-harness satin is similar to the four-harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one.
This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces.

 
4 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE
The four-harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one.

 
2×2 TWILL WEAVE
Twill weave is more pliable than the plain weave and has better drivability while maintaining more fabric stability than a four or eight harness satin weave. The weave pattern is characterized by a diagonal rib created by one warp yarn floating over at least two filling yarns.

Satin Weave Style For Contoured Parts Fabricating
 

These styles of fabrics are one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up cowls, fuselages, ducts and other contoured surfaces with minimal distortions. The fabric is more pliable and can comply with complex contours and spherical shapes. Because of its tight weave style, satin weaves are typically used as the surface ply for heavier and courser weaves. This technique helps reduce fabric print through and requires less gel coat to create a smoother surface.

Step Two: Choose the best epoxy resin system for the job
 
The principal role of the resin is to bind the fabric into a homogenous rigid substrate
called a composite laminate or FRP- FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC.
 
The epoxy resin used in fabricating a laminant will dictate how the
FRP will perform when load or pressure is implied on the part.
To choose the proper resin system consider the following factors
that is crucial to a laminate’s performance.
 
SIZE AND CONFIGURATION OF THE PART
(NUMBER OF PLIES  AND CONTOURED, FLAT OR PROFILED)
CONSOLIDATING FORCE
(FREE STANDING DRY OR HAND LAY-UP, VACUUM BAG OR PLATEN PRESS CURING)
CURING CAPABILITIES
(HEAT CURED OR ROOM TEMPERATURE CURED)
LOAD PARAMETERS

(SHEARING FORCE, TORSIONAL AND DIRECTIONAL LOAD, BEAM STRENGTH)

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE
(OPERATING TEMPERATURE, AMBIENT CONDITIONS, HUMIDITY, CHEMICAL EXPOSURE, CYCLIC FORCE LOADING)

MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION COST
(BUYING IN BULK WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE THE BEST OVERALL COSTS AS WELL AS DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME)
 
These factors will dictate the design and the composition of the part and must be carefully considered during the design and engineering phase of the fabrication.

 COLD TEMPERATURE NOTICE
 
A POLYMER RESIN’S PHYSICAL PROPERTY SUCH AS ITS VISCOSITY AND CURE RATE ARE HIGHLY AFFECTED AND INFLUENCED BY TEMPERATURE.
DURING THE COLDER SEASONS THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT SHOULD BE WARMED TO AT LEAST 75°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) PRIOR TO USE TO REDUCE ITS VISCOSITY TO REDUCE AIR BUBBLE ENTRAPMENT AND MAINTAIN ITS WORKING TIME AND PROPER CURE.
 
THE HIGH PURITY EPOXY COMPONENT AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY ACCELERATORS IN ITS FORMULATION ARE SOME OF THE MANY KEY FACTORS THAT CONTROLS ITS COLOR STABILITY. 
 
THE COLD TEMPERATURE WILL ALSO MAKE THE RESIN MUCH THICKER THAN THE  STATED VISCOSITY AND WORKING TIME VALUES STATED ON THE PHYSICAL TABLES CHART.  THIS WILL REDUCE THE POLYMER’S REACTION RATE AND EXTEND ITS CURE TIME.
THIS CAN RECTIFIED BY USING THE MIXED RESIN IN A WARM ROOM AT TEMPERATURES NO LOWER THAN 70°F .
 
 
COMMON AND NOTICABLE THE EFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 

HIGHER OR THICKER VISCOSITY

LESS ACCURACY IN VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENT DUE TO ITS THICKER CONSISTENCY

CAUTION
ALTHOUGH THE POLYMERIZATION HAS SLOWED DUE TO THE COLDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS
ONCE THE MISTURE HAS BEGUN POLYMERIZING AND BUILD UP HEAT IT CAN STILL CAUSE A RUN-AWAY-REACTION IF NOT USED PROPERLY
MIXING THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT ABOVE 80°F AILL ALSO CAUSE RAPID POLYMERIZATION

THIS CAN BE EASILY REVERSE WITH NO ADVERSE AFFECT ON ITS CURED MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OR SHELF LIFE.
 
 
PROCESSING EPOXY RESINS TO COUNTERACT AFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 
TO COUNTER ACT THE AFFECTS OF THE COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE, WARM THE RESIN GENTLY BY PLACING IT IN A SEAL PLASTIC BAG
AND IMMERSE IT IN HOT WATER OR A WARM ROOM AND ALLOW IT TO ACCLIMATE UNTIL IT IS UNIFORMLY AT 75°F TO 80°F MAXIMUM BEFORE
ADDING THE CURING AGENT.
 

 PLACE THE BOTH CONTAINERS IN A HOT BOX OR A WARM ROOM AND ELEVATE THE AMBIENT CURE TEMPERATURE TO AT LEAST 75°F TO 80°F.

EXPOSE BOTH RESIN AND CURING AGENT UNDER SOLAR HEAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS

 PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS UNDER DIRECT SOLAR HEAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL IT IS WARM TO THE TOUCH.
 
UPON IT HAS CURE TO THE TOUCH, A SHORT HEAT POST CURE USING INFRARED LAMPS

Step Three: Proper Lay-Up Technique
Pre-lay-up notes

Lay out the fabric and precut to size and set aside

Avoid distorting the weave pattern as much as possible

For fiberglass molding, insure the mold is clean and adequate mold release is used 

View our video presentation above “MAX EPOXY RESIN MIXING TECHNIQUE”  

Mix the resin only when all needed materials and implements needed are ready and within reach
Mix the proper amount of resin needed and be accurate proportioning the resin and curing agent. Adding more curing agent than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure.  
Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance.
Don’t how much resin to use to go with the fiberglass?
A good rule of thumb is to maintain a minimum of 30 to 35%  resin content by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in
high performance prepreg (or pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used in aerospace and high performance structural application.
For general hand lay-ups, use 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safe factor.
Place the entire precut fiberglass to be used on a scale and determine the weight.
 
Typical fabric weights regardless of weave pattern
1 yard of 8 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
 
Ounces per square yard or OSY is also know as aerial weight which is the most common unit of measurement for composite fabrics.
If a scale is available, measuring by weight will insure better composite
fabrication and repeatability, rather than using OSY data.
To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation:
(Total Weight of Fabric divided by 60%) X( 40%)= weight of mixed resin needed 
 
fw  = fabric weight
rc = target resin content
rn= resin needed
(fw/60%)x(.40%)= rn
(224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed
 So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric,
you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin.
Common Factors Of 100% Solids (Zero volatiles and unfilled epoxy resin)
1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
1 gallon of resin = 231 cubic inches
1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams
 
Apply the mixed resin unto the surface and then lay the fabric
and allow the resin to saturate through the fabric.
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND 
This is one of the most common processing error that yields sub-standard laminates.
By laying the fiberglass unto a film of resin, less air bubbles are entrapped during the wetting-out stage.
Air is pushed up and outwards instead of forcing the resin through the fabric which will entrap air bubbles.
This technique will displace air unhindered  and uniformly disperse through out  the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or spreading.

Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric’s surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminant.
It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.
 
 
Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric’s surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminant.
It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.
There are also fabricating techniques that can be employed to yield high performance laminate.
Depending on the size of the part, processes such as high pressure pressing, vacuum bagging and vacuum assisted resin transfer molding are superior methods over hand dry lay-up.  
Air voids or porosity within the laminate is typically where failure propagates when load is applied
(fracturing, compression failure, tearing, torque, tensile strength, creep). 
 

Step Four: Proper Curing
 
Allow the lay-up to cure for 24 hours before handling.
Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. 
The ideal temperature cure condition of most room temperature epoxy resin is 22 to 27 degrees Celsius at 20% relative humidity.
Higher ambient curing temperatures will promote faster polymerization and development of cured mechanical properties.
 
Improving mechanical performance via post heat cure
 
A short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins. Allow the applied resin system to cure at room temperature until for 18 to 24 hours and if possible, expose heat cure it in an oven  or other source of radiant heat (220°F to 250°F) for45 minute to an hour. You can also expose it to direct sunlight but place a dark colored cover, such as a tarp or cardboard to protect it from ultraviolet exposure.
 
In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 250°F and 160°F or lower
if it is under stress or load. 
A short heat post cure will insure that the mixed epoxy system is fully cured,
especially for room temperature cured system that can take up to 7 days to 100% cure
 
Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur if over exposed to high temperature (>250 F).
 
AMINE BLUSH
The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates a carbonate compound
and forms what is called amine blush.
Amine blush is a wax-like layer that forms as most epoxies cure.
  If the epoxy system is cured in extreme humidity (>70%).
It will be seen as a white and waxy layer that must be removed by 
physical sanding of the surface followed by an acetone wipe.
 
Although we have formulated the MAX CLR, MAX BOND and MAX GPE product line to be resistant to amine-blush,
it is recomended not to mix any resin systems in high humidity conditions, greater than 70%.
Always make sure that the substrate or material the epoxy resin system is being applied to
 is as dry as possible to insure the best cured performance..
 
LATENT CURING SYSTEMS
Latent epoxy resins are systems that are mixed together at room temperature and will begin polymerization but it will not achieve full cure unless it is exposed to a heat cure cycle. In general, these are high performance systems that demonstrate exceptional performance under extreme conditions such as high mechanical performance under heat and cryogenics temperatures, chemical resistance or any environment that epoxy room temperature system perform marginally or poorly.
  Upon the mixing of the resin and curing agent polymerization will begin and will only achieve partial cure. Some resins may appear cured or dry to the touch,  this state is called ’B-Stage Cure’ ,but upon application of force will either be gummy or brittle almost glass-like and  will dissolve in most solvents. The semi-cured resin must be exposed to an elevated temperature for it to continue polymerization and achieve full cure. 
 
HEAT ACTIVATED CURING SYSTEMS
 This type of epoxy system will not polymerized unless it is exposed to the activation temperature of the curing agent which can be as low as 200F and as high as 400F. In most instances these epoxy system can be stored at room temperature and remain liquid for up to six months and longer 
USE AN INFRARED HEAT LAMP FOR LARGER PARTS IF A PROCESS OVEN IS NOT AVAILABLE
 
POSSIBLE HEAT CURING TECHNIQUES
If an oven is not available to provide the needed thermal post cure, exposing the assemble part to direct solar heat
(sun exposure) for a period will provide enough heat cure for the part to be handled. Other heat curing such as infrared heat lamps can be used if a heat chamber or oven is not available.

WHICH EPOXY IS BEST FOR YOUR APPLICATION?
 
Epoxy based polymers are one of the most versatile thermoset resins that can be modified into a multitude of applications and fit very specific task as demanded by the application.  It offers ease of use and generally safer to handle over other types of thermoset resins which makes it the choice material for many high performance composites.  
 New ideas demand new technology in material science and the skill to compose its constituent into a synergistic composite.
 
MECHNIAL PERFORMANCE TEST
 What is impact testing?
Impact testing is one of the most revealing test methods that demonstrate a material’s ability to resist and withstand a high-rate of pressure loading, its behavior during and after the impact can define its maximum mechanical property and conditional limits upon its destruction.
 
Why is Impact Testing Important?
The impact resistance of an object provides the ultimate measure of its resistance to its definitive destruction. Governed by the many laws and dynamics of physics, a skilled chemist or materials engineer can determine the design equilibrium and ultimate performance by careful analysis of the material’s disassociation and the manner of its destruction.
With this knowledge, other aspects of mechanical performance can be accurately derived and through skilful engineering one can determine:

The impact energies the part can be expected to see in its lifetime,
The type of impact that will deliver that energy, and then
Select a material that will resist such assaults over the projected life span.

PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESINS

DURING COLDER SEASON, THE EPOXY RESIN AND CURING AGENT WILL BE THICKER OR HIGHER IN VISCOSITY.  TEMPER BOTH COMPONENTS TO AT LEAST 23°C TO 25°C BEFORE MIXING. A GOOD METHOD IS TO PLACE THE BOTTLES IN A WARM ROOM FOR 24 HOURS OR PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS IN A PLASTIC BAG AND SEAL TIGHTLY AND THEN PLACE IN HOT WATER BATH FOR ABOUT 2 TO 4 HOURS. REMOVE FORM THE WATER BATH AND INSURE THAT THE COMPONENTS ARE BELOW 80°F BEFORE MIXING TOGETHER.  THIS WILL LOWER THE VISCOSITY TO THE CONSISTENCY AS SHOWN ON THE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION.
PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO FOR THE PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESIN. IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPER TECHNIQUE OF MIXING ANY TYPE OF EPOXY RESIN REGARDLESS OF MIX RATIO OR FORMULATION.

FOR COMPOSITE FABRICATION AND APPLICATIONS
Don’t how much resin to buy to go with the fiberglass?
A good rule of thumb is to calculate 65% fiberglass to 35% resin by weight. Use 60% to 40% as a safe factor. For example:
1 yard of 8 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
 (224/60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed

1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)

1 gallon is 128 fluid ounce

1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams

 So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric, you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin

TYPES OF FABRIC WEAVE STYLE AND SURFACE FINISHING
FOR RESIN TYPE COMPATIBILITY

 
PLAIN WEAVE
Is a very simple weave pattern and the most common style. The warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion. Plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count.

 
8 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE
The eight-harness satin is similar to the four-harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one.
This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces.

 
4 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE
The four-harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one.

 
2×2 TWILL WEAVE
Twill weave is more pliable than the plain weave and has better drivability while maintaining more fabric stability than a four or eight harness satin weave. The weave pattern is characterized by a diagonal rib created by one warp yarn floating over at least two filling yarns.

Satin Weave Style For Contoured Parts Fabricating
 

These styles of fabrics are one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up cowls, fuselages, ducts and other contoured surfaces with minimal distortions. The fabric is more pliable and can comply with complex contours and spherical shapes. Because of its tight weave style, satin weaves are typically used as the surface ply for heavier and courser weaves. This technique helps reduce fabric print through and requires less gel coat to create a smoother surface.

Step Two: Choose the best epoxy resin system for the job
 
The principal role of the resin is to bind the fabric into a homogenous rigid substrate
called a composite laminate or FRP- FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC.
 
The epoxy resin used in fabricating a laminant will dictate how the
FRP will perform when load or pressure is implied on the part.
To choose the proper resin system consider the following factors
that is crucial to a laminate’s performance.
 
SIZE AND CONFIGURATION OF THE PART
(NUMBER OF PLIES  AND CONTOURED, FLAT OR PROFILED)
CONSOLIDATING FORCE
(FREE STANDING DRY OR HAND LAY-UP, VACUUM BAG OR PLATEN PRESS CURING)

 COLD TEMPERATURE NOTICE
 
A POLYMER RESIN’S PHYSICAL PROPERTY SUCH AS ITS VISCOSITY AND CURE RATE ARE HIGHLY AFFECTED AND INFLUENCED BY TEMPERATURE.
DURING THE COLDER SEASONS THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT SHOULD BE WARMED TO AT LEAST 75°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) PRIOR TO USE TO REDUCE ITS VISCOSITY TO REDUCE AIR BUBBLE ENTRAPMENT AND MAINTAIN ITS WORKING TIME AND PROPER CURE.
 
THE HIGH PURITY EPOXY COMPONENT AND THE ABSENCE OF ANY ACCELERATORS IN ITS FORMULATION ARE SOME OF THE MANY KEY FACTORS THAT CONTROLS ITS COLOR STABILITY. 
 
THE COLD TEMPERATURE WILL ALSO MAKE THE RESIN MUCH THICKER THAN THE  STATED VISCOSITY AND WORKING TIME VALUES STATED ON THE PHYSICAL TABLES CHART.  THIS WILL REDUCE THE POLYMER’S REACTION RATE AND EXTEND ITS CURE TIME.
THIS CAN RECTIFIED BY USING THE MIXED RESIN IN A WARM ROOM AT TEMPERATURES NO LOWER THAN 70°F .
 
 
COMMON AND NOTICABLE THE EFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 

HIGHER OR THICKER VISCOSITY

LESS ACCURACY IN VOLUMETRIC MEASUREMENT DUE TO ITS THICKER CONSISTENCY

CRYSTALLIZED OR SOLIDIFIED RESIN COMPONENT THAT WILL APPEAR AS A WHITE WAX-LIKE CONSISTENCY

MORE BUBBLE ENTRAPMENT DURING MIXING

SLOWER REACTIVITY

LONGER CURE TIMES

LOWER CURED PERFORMANCE DUE TO NONE FULL CURE POLYMERIZATION 
 
CAUTION
ALTHOUGH THE POLYMERIZATION HAS SLOWED DUE TO THE COLDER AMBIENT CONDITIONS
ONCE THE MISTURE HAS BEGUN POLYMERIZING AND BUILD UP HEAT IT CAN STILL CAUSE A RUN-AWAY-REACTION IF NOT USED PROPERLY
MIXING THE RESIN AND CURING AGENT ABOVE 80°F AILL ALSO CAUSE RAPID POLYMERIZATION
AND HIGH EXOTHERMIC HEAT BUILD-UP CAN OCCUR THAT CAN
EXCEED 300°F EXOTHERMIC HEAT WHEN KEPT IN  MASS. 
 
PROPER AMBIENT CONDTION FOR ANY RESIN TO CURE PROPERLY
75°F TO 80°F AND A RELATIVE HUNIDITY BELOW 40%
 
DURING SHIPPMENT,THE PACKAGE MAY AND CAN BE EXPOSED TO
TEMPERATURES BELOW 50°F AND MAY CRYSTALIZE THE RESIN COMPONENT OR PART A.
 
THIS CAN BE EASILY REVERSE WITH NO ADVERSE AFFECT ON ITS CURED MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OR SHELF LIFE.
 
 
PROCESSING EPOXY RESINS TO COUNTERACT AFFECTS OF COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE
 
TO COUNTER ACT THE AFFECTS OF THE COLD TEMPERATURE EXPOSURE, WARM THE RESIN GENTLY BY PLACING IT IN A SEAL PLASTIC BAG
AND IMMERSE IT IN HOT WATER OR A WARM ROOM AND ALLOW IT TO ACCLIMATE UNTIL IT IS UNIFORMLY AT 75°F TO 80°F MAXIMUM BEFORE
ADDING THE CURING AGENT.
 

 PLACE THE BOTH CONTAINERS IN A HOT BOX OR A WARM ROOM AND ELEVATE THE AMBIENT CURE TEMPERATURE TO AT LEAST 75°F TO 80°F.

EXPOSE BOTH RESIN AND CURING AGENT UNDER SOLAR HEAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS

 PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS UNDER DIRECT SOLAR HEAT FOR SEVERAL HOURS UNTIL IT IS WARM TO THE TOUCH.
 
UPON IT HAS CURE TO THE TOUCH, A SHORT HEAT POST CURE USING INFRARED LAMPS
(120°F TO 150°F FOR 2 HOURS)
  WILL INSURE FULL CURE.

Step Three: Proper Lay-Up Technique
Pre-lay-up notes

Lay out the fabric and precut to size and set aside

Avoid distorting the weave pattern as much as possible

For fiberglass molding, insure the mold is clean and adequate mold release is used 

View our video presentation above “MAX EPOXY RESIN MIXING TECHNIQUE”  

Mix the resin only when all needed materials and implements needed are ready and within reach
Mix the proper amount of resin needed and be accurate proportioning the resin and curing agent. Adding more curing agent than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure.  
Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance.
Don’t how much resin to use to go with the fiberglass?
A good rule of thumb is to maintain a minimum of 30 to 35%  resin content by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in
high performance prepreg (or pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used in aerospace and high performance structural application.
For general hand lay-ups, use 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safe factor.
Place the entire precut fiberglass to be used on a scale and determine the weight.
 
Typical fabric weights regardless of weave pattern
1 yard of 8 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams
1 yard of 10 OSY fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams
 
Ounces per square yard or OSY is also know as aerial weight which is the most common unit of measurement for composite fabrics.
If a scale is available, measuring by weight will insure better composite
fabrication and repeatability, rather than using OSY data.
To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation:
(Total Weight of Fabric divided by 60%) X( 40%)= weight of mixed resin needed 
 
fw  = fabric weight
rc = target resin content
rn= resin needed
(fw/60%)x(.40%)= rn
(224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed
 So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric,
you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin.
Common Factors Of 100% Solids (Zero volatiles and unfilled epoxy resin)
1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)
1 gallon = 128 fluid ounces
1 gallon of resin = 231 cubic inches
1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams
 
Apply the mixed resin unto the surface and then lay the fabric
and allow the resin to saturate through the fabric.
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND 
This is one of the most common processing error that yields sub-standard laminates.
By laying the fiberglass unto a film of resin, less air bubbles are entrapped during the wetting-out stage.
Air is pushed up and outwards instead of forcing the resin through the fabric which will entrap air bubbles.
This technique will displace air unhindered  and uniformly disperse through out  the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or spreading.

Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric’s surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminant.
It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.
 
 
Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric’s surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminant.
It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.
There are also fabricating techniques that can be employed to yield high performance laminate.
Depending on the size of the part, processes such as high pressure pressing, vacuum bagging and vacuum assisted resin transfer molding are superior methods over hand dry lay-up.  
Air voids or porosity within the laminate is typically where failure propagates when load is applied
(fracturing, compression failure, tearing, torque, tensile strength, creep). 
 

Step Four: Proper Curing
 
Allow the lay-up to cure for 24 hours before handling.
Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. 
The ideal temperature cure condition of most room temperature epoxy resin is 22 to 27 degrees Celsius at 20% relative humidity.
Higher ambient curing temperatures will promote faster polymerization and development of cured mechanical properties.
 
Improving mechanical performance via post heat cure
 
A short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins. Allow the applied resin system to cure at room temperature until for 18 to 24 hours and if possible, expose heat cure it in an oven  or other source of radiant heat (220°F to 250°F) for45 minute to an hour. You can also expose it to direct sunlight but place a dark colored cover, such as a tarp or cardboard to protect it from ultraviolet exposure.
 
In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 250°F and 160°F or lower
if it is under stress or load. 
A short heat post cure will insure that the mixed epoxy system is fully cured,
especially for room temperature cured system that can take up to 7 days to 100% cure
 
Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur if over exposed to high temperature (>250 F).
 
AMINE BLUSH
The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates a carbonate compound
and forms what is called amine blush.
Amine blush is a wax-like layer that forms as most epoxies cure.
  If the epoxy system is cured in extreme humidity (>70%).
It will be seen as a white and waxy layer that must be removed by 
physical sanding of the surface followed by an acetone wipe.
 
Although we have formulated the MAX CLR, MAX BOND and MAX GPE product line to be resistant to amine-blush,
it is recomended not to mix any resin systems in high humidity conditions, greater than 70%.
Always make sure that the substrate or material the epoxy resin system is being applied to
 is as dry as possible to insure the best cured performance..
 
LATENT CURING SYSTEMS
Latent epoxy resins are systems that are mixed together at room temperature and will begin polymerization but it will not achieve full cure unless it is exposed to a heat cure cycle. In general, these are high performance systems that demonstrate exceptional performance under extreme conditions such as high mechanical performance under heat and cryogenics temperatures, chemical resistance or any environment that epoxy room temperature system perform marginally or poorly.
  Upon the mixing of the resin and curing agent polymerization will begin and will only achieve partial cure. Some resins may appear cured or dry to the touch,  this state is called ’B-Stage Cure’ ,but upon application of force will either be gummy or brittle almost glass-like and  will dissolve in most solvents. The semi-cured resin must be exposed to an elevated temperature for it to continue polymerization and achieve full cure. 
 
HEAT ACTIVATED CURING SYSTEMS
 This type of epoxy system will not polymerized unless it is exposed to the activation temperature of the curing agent which can be as low as 200F and as high as 400F. In most instances these epoxy system can be stored at room temperature and remain liquid for up to six months and longer 
USE AN INFRARED HEAT LAMP FOR LARGER PARTS IF A PROCESS OVEN IS NOT AVAILABLE
 
POSSIBLE HEAT CURING TECHNIQUES
If an oven is not available to provide the needed thermal post cure, exposing the assemble part to direct solar heat
(sun exposure) for a period will provide enough heat cure for the part to be handled. Other heat curing such as infrared heat lamps can be used if a heat chamber or oven is not available.
