FF Habitat Fire Safe /1,82kg

Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ Epoxidspachtel ist ein hochdichter Epoxidharz-Modellierspachtel, der schwer entflammbar ist (E84, Klasse A).

Habitat™ Fire Safe™ ist lösungsmittelfrei und enthält keine VOCs.

Die Verarbeitungszeit beträgt 90 Minuten und die Aushärtezeit 16 Stunden bei Raumtemperatur (23 °C).

Epoxidharz härtet zu einem sehr harten, feuer- und hitzebeständigen Material aus, das sich leicht lackieren lässt.

Habitat™ Fire Safe™ enthält keine Karzinogene (krebserregende Stoffe).

Merkmale

Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ eignet sich für thematische Anwendungen im Innen- und Außenbereich sowie für allgemeine Bildhauerarbeiten. Es ist außerdem als „aquariensicher“ zertifiziert und wird von Aquarien und Zoos zur Herstellung hyperrealistischer Bäume, Ranken, Felsen, Korallen und anderer Ausstellungselemente verwendet.

Zur Verwendung mit Habitat™ Faltpulver – falten Sie das Pulver in Epoxidharzmasse, um es zu verdicken und das Durchhängen zu reduzieren, wenn es auf einer vertikalen Oberfläche aufgetragen wird. Folding Powder™ reduziert außerdem die Klebrigkeit und macht das Epoxidharz besser handhabbar. Sobald die Spachtelmasse aufgetragen ist, kann sie mit einem Silikonstempel aufgestempelt werden, um sich wiederholende Muster mit komplizierten Details auf einer großen Oberfläche zu erzeugen. Die Oberfläche kann mit Alkohol oder Wasser geglättet werden. New Habitat™ Fire Safe™ verbindet sich ohne Delaminierung mit dem ausgehärteten Habitat™ Fire Safe™. Habitat™ Fire Safe™ lässt den Schaum nicht schmelzen und kann als EPS-Schaumbeschichtung verwendet werden. Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ ist auch ein ausgezeichneter Reparaturkitt und verbindet sich dauerhaft mit sich selbst, PVC, Plexiglas™ (Acryl), Holz, vielen Metallen, Kunststoffen und Schaumstoffen.

Instructions

Safety – Use in a well-ventilated area (“room size” ventilation). Generally, if you use any epoxy system on a regular basis, wearing a NIOSH approved respirator is advised. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize skin contact. Wear nitrile or vinyl gloves only.

Rate Of Coverage - Assuming a thickness of 6.3 mm, 454 g of Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ will cover approximately 462 cm2.

Preparation – Materials should be stored and used at room temperature 23°C. This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. Mixing should be done in a well-ventilated area. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk.

Before mixing materials, apply Folding Powder to work surface in a 6.3 mm layer. Powder gloves with Folding Powder to eliminate sticking.

Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability for your project is recommended if performance of this material is in question.

Applying A Release Agent – For releasing epoxy from non-porous surfaces such as resin, metal, glass etc., use Ease Release™ 200 or 205 (available from Form X) to prevent adhesion.

Measuring - Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ comes as two parts. Dispense equal amounts of Part A and Part B. These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.

Mixing - This product is mixed by hand. You must wear gloves when mixing this material, wearing vinyl gloves reduces inhibition risk. First, thoroughly coat gloves with folding powder to prevent sticking. Knead parts A+B together while folding powder into mixture. The amount of powder to add depends on desired working consistency. The more powder you add, the thicker the mixture becomes. Fold mixture into itself repeatedly until desired consistency is attained (3-5 minutes or a minimum of 20 folds)

Apply by gloved hand to horizontal, vertical or inverted surface. Important; pot life and cure time are reduced with elevated temperatures.

Stamp, Sculpt or Mold - Once in place, putty can be stamped using a rubber stamp (Rebound™ 25 silicone). Apply alcohol to stamp detail before using for precise detail and to keep stamp clean. Sculpt using gloved hands or tools. Putty can also be pressed into a silicone rubber mold to reproduce detail.

Smoothing Surface – Epoxy surface can be smoothed with water or isopropyl alcohol. Option: cover putty surface with clear plastic food wrap and smooth or sculpt with hand or tool. Leave wrap in place until material cures and remove. Cured surface will have a high gloss finish.

Curing and Heat Resistance – Habitat™ Fire Safe™ will cure in 16 hours at room temperature. Elevated heat will cure epoxy faster. At an ambient temperature of 60°C, the material will cure in as little as 30 minutes. A heat gun may also be used, as long as the surface temperature of the Habitat™ does not exceed 100°C. Putty cured at room temperature with a minimum thickness of 1.27 cm will resist temperatures up to 74°C.

Post Curing - For higher heat resistance, cured Habitat™ Fire Safe can be heat post-cured in a dedicated industrial oven. Cure at 80°C for two hours, followed by three hours at 100°C. Thin sections may need to be supported during post curing. Allow material to cool to room temperature before use.

Machining – Cured castings are rigid and durable. They resist moisture, moderate heat, solvents, dilute acids and can be machined, primed/painted or bonded to other surfaces (any release agent must be removed). If machining cured epoxy, wear dust mask or other apparatus to prevent inhalation of residual particles.

Painting – For outdoor display, cured Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ can be primed and then painted with acrylic enamel paints. Let paint fully dry before putting part into service.

Removing Uncured Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe - Remove as much uncured material from the surface as possible. Clean any residue with soap and water.

Optional - Use E-POX-EE KLEENER™ available from form x
