GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen
and/or oxygen rich systems and should not be selected as
a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials.
For safe handling information on this product, consult the
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).

Directions For Use:

Mixing:

1. When mixing by hand, combine Part A (Resin) and
   Part B (Hardener) in the correct ratio and mix thoroughly
   until the color and consistency are uniform. EPOXIPATCH®
   Tube Kits have been designed so that
   squeezing EQUAL LENGTH BEADS of Part A & Part B
   will give the proper ratio.
2. Mixing the adhesive just prior to use is recommended.
   The temperature of the separate components prior to
   mixing is not critical, but should be close to room
   temperature: ºC (ºF).
3. Heat buildup during and after mixing is normal. To
   reduce the likelihood of exothermic reaction or
   excessive heat buildup, mix less than 1,000 grams at a
   time. Mixing smaller amounts will minimize heat buildup

Applying

1. Bonding surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of
   contamination.
2. Once the adhesive is applied, the bonded parts should
   be held in contact until the part has developed handling
   strength (3 to 4 hours @ 25 °C) note: this can vary with
   different bond configurations. It is not necessary to
   clamp the parts unless movement during cure is likely.

Cure

1. Complete cure is obtained after 72 hours @ 25 °C.
   LOCTITE®
   EA 1C™ can also be fully cured with heat
   such as; 2 hours at a maximum temperature of 60 °C.
2. After 24 hours, approximately 90% of full cure properties
   are attained at room temperature.
3. This product can also be cured for 1 hour @ 82°C or 20
   to 30 minutes @ 121°C.
4. Heat cures can be modified to achieve a desired degree
   of cure from handling strength to full cure

Clean up

1. It is important to clean up excess adhesive from the work
   area and application equipment before it hardens.
2. Denatured alcohol and many common industrial
   solvents are suitable for removing uncured adhesive
