Mixing Ratio
Part A : Part B = 100 : 10 (parts by weight)
Layer Thickness
Minimum 15 mm
Maximum 60 mm
Product Temperature
Condition product parts before application preferably at ~+15 °C to assist with flow and curing speed.
Ambient Air Temperature
+5 °C min. / +35 °C max.
Relative Air Humidity
80 % max.
Substrate Temperature
+5 °C min. / +35 °C max.
