SAFE TO USE ON EPS OR STYROFOAM
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.
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 laminate are well suite for use in low temperature or cold weather environments as well as continuous fresh or salt water immersion.
MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B demonstrates a moderate pot life providing the optimum time for the resin to saturate and equalize throughout the fabric for wet lay-up applications. It is well suited for fiberglass, carbon fiber, Aramid (Kevlar) and other hybrid fabrics.
Properly constructed laminates tend to dent or crack rather than crushing or tearing,
MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B will cure at low temperature conditions but will 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.
WATER BARRIER OR WATER PROOFING POROUS SUBSTRATES
As a coating or water proof sealer MAX BOND LOW VISCOSITY A/B demonstrates structural bond strengths to a variety of substrates that requires an impermeable coating against water, salt water, acidic or basic chemical resistance. It is suitable for wood, concrete, cementaeous substrates, natural stone materials and any porous material that requires water proofing.
it can be applied directly using a brush, short nap roller or squeeges and trowels.
A small addition of a solvent such as acetone or MEK will reduce its viscosity for faster wet-out or wood penetration.
BONDING CASTING ELECTRICAL POTTING
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. It will bond to substrates commonly used in composites industry such as, steel, aluminum and soft metals, fiberglass, concrete and ceramic and most plastics.
It demonstrates excellent electical insulative properties suitable for low voltage and high voltage application.
The addition of fillers such as Calcium Carbonate, Alumina Oxide or metalic fillers will dramtically increase its thermal conductivity and stablize its dimensional stability making it suitable for encapsulation of electronic circuity that will be immersedin water or extreme weather conditions.

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.
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.

The MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC and MAX BOND MEDIUM VISCOSITY
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.

MAX HTE FOR HIGH TEMPERTURE HIGH HEAT RESISTANT APPLICATION
Apply the mixed resin unto the surface and then lay the
fabric on the applied resin and allow it to saturate through the fabric.
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.
CARBON FIBER FLAT PANEL PRODUCTION
There are also fabricating techniques that can be employed to yield high performance laminants.
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 wet lay-up.
A short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins.
In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 250 F and 160 F under stress or load.
MAX CLR is resistant to amine blush but curing any epoxy resin at high humidity will create amine blush. Do not mix the resin when the ambient humidity is above 60%
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.
