It is a thickened version of the MAX BOND System for flow control for vertical or overhead application. When used in heat-cured applications, MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B will demonstrate minimal or controlled flow eliminating excessive resin run-off and resulting in a clean adhesive placement.MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B exhibits structural bond strengths to numerous substrates commonly used in composites industry such as steel, aluminum, metals and alloys, resin impregnated composites, and most plastics. It performs well in wide range of service temperature and resists cracking and delamination due to cyclic vibration, thermal expansion and contraction. Please review Surface Preparation suggestions below.MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC does not contain nonreactive plasticizer that can leach out over time. It is FDA compliant for direct and indirect food contact applications. Just measure out equal amounts of Part A and Part B, mix and apply and allow to cure overnight. It has a 90 minute working time and bonded parts can be handled within 6 hours to 8 hours after application. A strong bond will develop in 10 hours of room temperature curing and will fully cure within 24 to 36 hours. Heat curing is also ideal for MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC for a faster cure time and will maintain its non-flowing properties at elevated temperatures.The mixed consistency is similar to peanut butter and is easily applied using a brush, spatula, trowel or injected into place using a syringe.Conforms To Numerous Aerospace/Military/Naval Materials SpecificationsMIL-A-8623 T1MS-511MMM-A-134 Type 1 and Type 2OS-9923ABoeing BMS-5-29 NASA Requirements For Low Outgassing Polymers(<1% CVCM, collected volatile condensable material )Tested For Aerospace Application Under NASA Low Outgassing SpecificationsLess Than 1% CVCM, TMLV Requirement Conforms To Code Of Federal Regulations FDA CFR Title 21 175.300 For Direct/indirect Food Contact Adhesive Used In Hundreds Of Structural Bonding ApplicationsMarine and Aircraft repairFiberglass To Fiberglass BondingFilleting CompoundRod BuildingGolf Club AssemblyConcrete Bonding, Patching, SealingElectronic Potting, Insulating, EncapsulatingWoodwork Bonding, Filleting For Corner Joints Composite Adhesive, LaminatingHoneycomb Bonding and Edge Closeout MAX BOND A/B SERIES Viscosity And Flow Comparison Available Kit SizesMAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B 32 OUNCE KIThttps://www.ebay.com/itm/222624260837MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B 64 OUNCE KIThttps://www.ebay.com/itm/311946479917MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B 1 GALLON KIThttps://www.ebay.com/itm/222624293631MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B 2 GALLON KIThttps://www.ebay.com/itm/222623988841Physical PropertiesMixed Density1.10 gm/ccForm and ColorThixotropic Gel Part A – ResinWhite Thixotropic LiquidPart B - Curing AgentAmber GelViscosity Mixed135,624 cPs @ 77°F (25ºC)Mix RatioEqual parts by volume or weightWorking Time (200-gram mass)85 Minutes @ 77°F (25ºC)Peak Exotherm (200-gram mass)160°FCure Time24 Hrs.

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 the corner of the component casing and allow the material to completely flow throughout. This technique will reduce voids and air entrapment.The use of a weighing scale is highly recommended for proportioning the components. The resin systems used for direct food contact must yield absolute cure to ensure no chemical leaching can occur when the cured coating comes in contact with the foodstuff. Improper or poor mix ratio accuracy from using volumetric measurement may cause inaccuracy which may cause uncured components to leach from the applied coating. Step 1. Measure Resin And Curing Agent Mix Ratio 1:1 Mixing by weight is recommended for food contact applications and critical bonding applications. The PART A Resin component is denser than the PART B component. Volumetric measuring suitable for general assembly applications. Step 2. Mix Gently But Thoroughly As Not Introduce Excessive Air Bubbles Use a folding mixing technique instead of a stirring motion. Step 3. Mix For 3 To 5 Minutes Or Until Uniform Note the combined color is uniform, indicating homogenous blend. Step 4. Ready For Use, Apply With Brush Or Spread With Spatula 250 gram mass yields 60 minute pot life or until it cures solid in the mixing cup. The thin-film or bondline set time is 3 hours @ 75°F . Usage And Applications InstructionsThis adhesive is a thickened version of the MAX BOND Medium Viscosity. It is specially formulated so that the adhesive will not flow, allowing the user precise and clean adhesive placement. MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC is paste-like in consistency. Apply the mixed adhesive using a spatula, bristle brush or notched trowel. MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC can also be loaded in a syringe and dispensed for clean adhesive placement.

Any uncured chemical compounds from the improperly prepared MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC may be extracted and cause cross-contamination or leaching during food contact. Please review the following and to avoid any curing problems.· Check for resin crystallization. During the colder season, the MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC resin component or PART A may crystallize and must be heat-processed to fully polymerize the resin system. Inspect the PART A bottle for any turbidity or a solid mass that typically forms on the bottom of the bottle.Processing Crystallized Epoxy ResinVideo will open in a new windowWeigh or measure the components accurately at a 1:1 mix ratio. Any off-ratio excess of either the resin or curing agent in the mixture can cause poor cure and can cause chemical leaching that can transfer to the food or beverage. Use a digital scale and weigh each component for best results, for example, 200 grams of MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC PART A will require 200 grams of MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC PART B.Mix the components thoroughly. Any unmixed component from poor mixing will result in poor polymerization and can be extracted and cross-contaminated the foodstuffs.Please view the following mixing demonstration below; see the epoxy mixing video below· Allow the applied resin to fully cure for a minimum of 48 hours at 75°F before exposing the coating to any food or beverage.· Heat cure to 170°F for 4 hours for faster cure time.· Rinse the cured coating with warm water and mild detergent before allowing any food contact. POSSIBLE HEAT CURING TECHNIQUESIf an oven is not available to provide the needed thermal post cure, exposing the assembled part to solar heat (sun exposure) for a short 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. Surface Treatment Prior To BondingIn virtually every application the quality of the bond between the resin system and the surface to which it is applied is improved if the surface is clean and dry. This is particularly true of adhesive applications where stress will be applied to the cured bond line.It is also true where protective coatings are used. The following surface preparation procedures are recommended. METALSDegrease – Wipe laying surfaces with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or acetone to remove all oil, dirt, and grease. Etch – For optimum results, metal parts should be immersed in a chromic acid bath solution consisting of:Sodium dichromate – 4 parts by weightSulfuric acid – 10 parts by weightWater – 30 parts by weightThe solution should be held at a temperature of 160°F (71°C), and the parts left immersed for 5 to 7 minutes. Rinse – remove metal parts from etching bath and rinse in clean cold water (de-ionized water is recommended). If thoroughly clean, metal surfaces so treated will hold a thin film of water. Dry – To accelerate drying, items to be bonded can be placed in an air-circulating oven. ALTERNATE PROCEDUREDegrease, scour and dry – Often etching as outlined above is not practical. The metal surfaces may be cleaned by degreasing as noted above, scouring with an alkaline cleanser followed by rinsing and drying. Degrease and dry – Degrease the surface as noted above, sand or sandblast the surface lightly but thoroughly. Rinse with acetone or Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), and dry.GLASSDegrease – With MEK as above, or with a strong boiling solution of a good grade household detergent. Etch – For optimum results, degreasing can be followed by the chromic acid bath outlined above. WOODSand – Bonding surfaces should be sanded lightly, but thoroughly to remove all external contamination. Clean – Carefully remove all dust, or particles of wood from sanded areas. A stiff and clean brush or compressed air can be used. PLASTIC (see Flame Treating below)Clean – Remove all dirt, oil, or other surfaces contaminated with detergent soap or degreasing solvent and water, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. A solvent that does not have a detrimental effect may also be used. Sand – Surfaces to be bonded should be sanded lightly, but thoroughly to remove surface sheen. Clean – Carefully remove all dust or particles of plastic from the sanded area. A clean brush, lint-free cloth, or compressed air may be used. Epoxy Resin have a definite working time (pot life), after mixing the components together. The working time is greatly affected by the amount of resin that is being mixed per batch. Other factors such as the ambient temperature of the environment and the temperature of the PART A and PART B respectively will also affect the rate of cure. There are two aspects that must be understood when working with epoxy resins once the curing agent and epoxy are combined: Working Time: Relates to the time that the adhesive will provide the best performance when it is applied onto to the substrate. As the epoxy begins to polymerize, energy is typically released and its evidence can be observed as heat generation, called exothermic heat. Since heat can affect the viscosity and length of time that the adhesive convents for a liquid to a solid, spreading the adhesive into a film will prevent the heat energy from concentrating in the container and cause auto-acceleration. To yield the full strength that was engineered into the epoxy resin, it important that the mixed resin is applied within the established working time. An exponential decrease in mechanical properties and adhesion quality will be experienced the longer the mixed resin is left in a confined mass. Thin Film Set Time is the time duration which denotes the amount of time the resin will convert from a liquid to a solid. This time difference is typical 4 to 6 time longer than the working time. The generated exothermic heat energy is diffused into the ambient environment thus prevent it from generating any excessive heat energy that will auto accelerate the working time. Flame Treating Of Plastic To Improve AdhesionFlame Treating Of Plastics For Improved Wetting And AdhesionVideo will open in a new window Obtaining adequate bond strength when bonding plastic-to-plastic substrates or plastic to dissimilar substrates is often a challenge for epoxy bonding In general plastic surfaces demonstrates poor ‘wettability’ or the ability of a liquid to form a continuous film. These types of substrates or are called LSE or Low Surface Energy substrates and in general, most thermoplastic surfaces fall into this category. Teflon or its generic name PTFE and other polyethylene derivatives such as HDPE, LDPE, UHMW and olefinic-based plastics demonstrate poor liquid wettability due to its low surface energy. To create a viable bondable surface condition for these types of plastics, it must be surface treated by creating a superficial oxidized surface to increase its dynamic surface tension. Various types of physical treatment can be used to increase the surface energy of plastics, mostly through oxidation of the superficial layer. Flame treatment is the most widely used and cost-effective pre-treatment for polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, UHMW) and polyolefin-based plastics prior to polymer bonding or printing. The resulting change of the surface by creating an oxidized layer onto the substrate greatly improves the ability of liquids wet-out the surface thus creating a strong adhesive bond between the surface and the coating. A Flame Treating process consists of exposing the surface to a suitable oxidizing flame for a period in the range 0.2 to 3.0 seconds. This treatment brings about a change to the polymer surface that increases its surface energy allowing fluids to effectively wet-out the surface and permits a strong adhesive molecular and mechanical bond.Flame Treating Using A Commercially Available Propane Torch Adjust the propane torch so that a low oxygen burning flame is achieved and pass over the area to be treated several times until a slight haze is noticed on the surface of the substrate. Using A Dyne Pen To View The Improve Surface Wetting Of the Untreated And Flame Treated UHMW plastic. Flame Treating the plastic substrate will make adhesion possible and create a strong bond.Flame Treated Surface Ideal For Bonding Joint Designs For Best Adhesion Performance Joint and Bonding And Design Suggestions Load Testing For Tensile Shear Strength of the Adhesion Your purchase constitutes the acceptance of this disclaimer.
