WHICH EPOXY IS BEST FOR YOUR APPLICATION?

 

Epoxy based polymers are one of the most versatile thermoset resins that can be modified into a multitude of applications and fit very specific task as demanded by the application.  It offers ease of use and generally safer to handle over other types of thermoset resins which makes it the choice material for many high performance composites.  

 New ideas demand new technology in material science and the skill to compose its constituent into a synergistic composite.

 

MECHNIAL PERFORMANCE TEST

 What is impact testing?

Impact testing is one of the most revealing test methods that demonstrate a material's ability to resist and withstand a high-rate of pressure loading, its behavior during and after the impact can define its maximum mechanical property and conditional limits upon its destruction.

 

Why is Impact Testing Important?

The impact resistance of an object provides the ultimate measure of its resistance to its definitive destruction. Governed by the many laws and dynamics of physics, a skilled chemist or materials engineer can determine the design equilibrium and ultimate performance by careful analysis of the material’s disassociation and the manner of its destruction.

With this knowledge, other aspects of mechanical performance can be accurately derived and through skilful engineering one can determine:

  • The impact energies the part can be expected to see in its lifetime,
  • The type of impact that will deliver that energy, and then
  • Select a material that will resist such assaults over the projected life span.

PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESINS

DURING COLDER SEASON, THE EPOXY RESIN AND CURING AGENT WILL BE THICKER OR HIGHER IN VISCOSITY.  TEMPER BOTH COMPONENTS TO AT LEAST 23°C TO 25°C BEFORE MIXING. A GOOD METHOD IS TO PLACE THE BOTTLES IN A WARM ROOM FOR 24 HOURS OR PLACE BOTH COMPONENTS IN A PLASTIC BAG AND SEAL TIGHTLY AND THEN PLACE IN HOT WATER BATH FOR ABOUT 2 TO 4 HOURS. REMOVE FORM THE WATER BATH AND INSURE THAT THE COMPONENTS ARE BELOW 80°F BEFORE MIXING TOGETHER.  THIS WILL LOWER THE VISCOSITY TO THE CONSISTENCY AS SHOWN ON THE VIDEO DEMONSTRATION.

PLEASE VIEW THE FOLLOWING VIDEO FOR THE PROPER MIXING OF EPOXY RESIN. IT DEMONSTRATES THE PROPER TECHNIQUE OF MIXING ANY TYPE OF EPOXY RESIN REGARDLESS OF MIX RATIO OR FORMULATION.

FOR COMPOSITE FABRICATION AND APPLICATIONS

Don't how much resin to buy to go with the fiberglass?

A good rule of thumb is to calculate 65% fiberglass to 35% resin by weight. Use 60% to 40% as a safe factor. For example:

1 yard of 8 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams

1 yard of 10 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams

 (224/60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed

  • 1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)
  • 1 gallon is 128 fluid ounce
  • 1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams

 So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric, you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin

TYPES OF FABRIC WEAVES

AND TYPICAL SELECTION RECOMENDATION   
                    PLAIN WEAVE                      8 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE       4 HARNESS SATIN WEAVE            2x2 TWILL WEAVE         

        

Step One: Choose the best fabric to use for the application.
 

 

Plain weave
In this most simple weave pattern, warp and fill yarns are interlaced over and under each other in alternating fashion.

The plain weave provides good stability, porosity and the least yarn slippage for a given yarn count.

 

Mock Leno
The mock leno weave is used where relatively low numbers of yarns are involved.

The leno weave locks the yarns in place by crossing two or more warp threads over each other and interlacing with one or more filling threads.

 

Four Harness Satin (Crowfoot)
The four harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics.

In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one.

 

Eight Harness Satin
The eight harness satin is similar to the four harness satin except that one filling yarn floats over seven warp yarns and under one.

This is a very pliable weave and is used for forming over curved surfaces.

 

Twill weave
The twill weave style is more pliable than the plain weave and drapes with less resistance while maintaining more fabric stability than a four or eight harness satin weave. The weave pattern is characterized by a diagonal rib created by one warp yarn floating over at least two filling yarns.

 

For contoured parts fabrication

 

Satin Weave Style

This style fabric is one of the easiest fabrics to use and it is ideal for laying up cowls, fuselages, ducts and other contoured surfaces with minimal distortions. The fabric is more pliable and can comply with complex contours and spherical shapes. Because of the finer weave it, several layers of the satin weave fabric is typically used as the surface ply or the fascia in conjunction with heavier and courser weaves.

This technique helps reduce fabric weave print through and requires less gel coat and creates a smoother surface.

 

Mock Leno
The mock leno weave is used where relatively low numbers of yarns are involved. The leno weave locks the yarns in place by crossing two or more warp threads over each other and interlacing with one or more filling threads.

 

Four Harness Satin (Crowfoot)
The four harness satin weave is more pliable than the plain weave and is easier to conform to curved surfaces typical in reinforced plastics. In this weave pattern there is a three by one interfacing where a filling yarn floats over three warp yarns and under one.

 

For bulk reinforcing or structural applications and 

high strength panelpart fabrication

 

Plain Weave

Use this fiberglass cloth when high strength parts are desired. It is ideal for construction, composites reinforcement, mold making, aircraft and auto parts tooling, marine and other composite lightweight applications.

 

Unidirectional

A unidirectional fabric is constructed were the all the roving or fabric strand is oriented in one direction. This provides high strength in a  known directional angle. The Design of must be carefully considered and insure that the resistive force is well identified and incorporated in the luminant’s design.

 

Unidirectional laminate offers outstanding strength-to-weight ratio, Fiber to resin ratio control and stability (minimized probability of resin-rich and/or resin-dry areas), exceptionally directional high impact resistance. The integrity is maintained through very fine, adhesive coated fill yarns that are bonded to but not interwoven.

 

Equally as important in choosing a fabric weave style is the fabric finishing

 

Fabric finishing is another important aspect that must be considered when choosing any type of composite fabric.

The finishing of the fabric will dictate the compatibility (WET-OUT) of the epoxy resin with the fabric and how well these two factors will form a homogenous substrate.

 

Chrome Finishes (Volan A) F-16 & F-3

Heat cleaned fabric is saturated in a methacrylate chromic chloride solution, cured, and washed to remove any soluble salts.

Both F-16 and F-3 are Volan type finishes with F-3 being a highest chrome content version.

Used with polyesters, phenolic, and epoxies, F-16 and F-3 fabrics yields a light green laminate

 

Please visit our ebay store for all available composite fabric that will suit your need.

 

From collectibles to electronics, buy and sell all kinds of items on eBay Stores 

Step Two: Choose the best epoxy resin system for the job

 
The principal role of the resin is to bind the fabric into a unitize homogenous rigid substrate called a composite laminate or FRP- FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC.The epoxy resin used in fabricating a laminate will dictate how the FRP will perform when load or pressure is applied to the fabricated part.

Step Three: Proper Fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, Kevlar And Other Composite Fabric Technique
 
Pre-lay-up notes
  • Lay out the fabric and precut to size and set aside
  • Avoid distorting the weave pattern as much as possible
  • For fiberglass molding, insure the mold is clean and adequate mold release is used 
  • View our video presentation above "MAX EPOXY RESIN MIXING TECHNIQUE"  
  • Mix the resin only when all needed materials needed are ready and within reach

Mix the proper amount of resin needed

Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance.

Don't how much resin to use to go with the fiberglass?

A good rule of thumb is to calculate 65% fiberglass to 35% resin by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in high performance prepreg (short for pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used for aerospace and high performance structural application.

If a scale is available, measuring by weight will insure better composite fabrication and repeatability .

For general lay-ups, use 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safe factor.

Place all the precut fiberglass to be used on a scale and determine the weight. (FW)

For example:

1 yard of 8 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 224 grams

1 yard of 10 ounce fabric at 38 inches wide weighs 280 grams

(ounces per square yard also know as aerial weight which is the most common unit of measurement for composite fabrics)

To determine how much resin is needed to adequately impregnate the fiberglass, use the following equation:

(Total Weight of Fabric used divided by 60%) and then multiply it by 40% = weight of mixed resin needed

 (224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.3 grams of resin needed for 1 square yard of 8 ounce fiberglass

Common Factors Of 100% Solids (Zero volatiles and unfilled epoxy resin)

1 gallon of resin = 4239 grams (1.12 g/cc)

1 gallon is 128 fluid ounce

1 fluid ounce of resin = 33.17 grams

 So for every square yard of 8 ounce fabric, you will need 4.50 fluid ounces of mixed resin

Apply the mixed resin unto the surface and then lay the fabric and allow the resin to saturate the fabric.
NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND
 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 through the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or spreading.

 

Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric's surface treatment, most dry fabric will equalize the distribution of the applied resin naturally thus creating less air bubbles to be entrapped within the laminant. It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered. There are also fabricating techniques that can be employed to reduce air entrapment within the laminate matrix. Depending on thr size of the part processes such as high pressure pressing, vacuum bagging or autoclaving are proven methods.  Air voids or porosity within the laminate is typically where failure (fracturing, compression failure, tearing, torque, tensile strength, creep) propagates when load is applied

Given enough time and the proper selection of the fabric's surface treatment (fabric to resin compatibility), a dry fabric will seek a state equilibrium and distribute  the applied resin and naturally release air bubbles entrapped within the laminant.

It is then very important that the proper viscosity, working time and surface treatment of the fabric must considered.

 

 

 
Step Four: Proper Curing
Room Temperature Cured Epoxy Resins
Proper and thorough mixing of the epoxy resin and curing agent is to achieve the optimum mechanical property of any epoxy resin.
Please view our "Epoxy Mixing Technique" video presentation above for more information. 
Adding more curing agent more than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure.  

Allow to cure for 24 hours before handling. Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. The ideal cure condition of most room temperature epoxy resin is 22 to 27 degrees Celsius at 20% relative humidity. Higher ambient curing temperatures will promote faster polymerization.

 

Improving performance via post heat cure

 

Typically 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 if properly cured.

Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur when heat cured.

 

AMINE BLUSH

The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates 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. Amine blush is due to moisture as well as the amount of carbon dioxide present during the curing process.

 Clean up excess resin run off before it has a chance to set-up using a rag dampen with acetone or MEK.

 

To Use MAX CLR-HP A/B As A Coating

 

Prepare the surface to be coated or sealed by degreasing and removing any surface contaminants.

If coating a wood substrate as a base, preseal the wood with MAX CLR HP thinned down with 10% to 20% acetone or MEK by volume. This will create a low viscosity penetrating sealant to lock in any grain rasing. Allow to cure overnight.

 

Upon cure, lightly sand the surface to remove any raised wood grain, sand off just enough to remove any gloss and then clean with a tack rag. Repeat if necessary until a smooth surface is achieved.If imbedding pictures or other items unto the tabletop, plaques or a decoupage projects, secure the items using

MAX CLR-HP as an adhesive and allow to set-up before coating.Pour the mixed MAX CLR HP into another container and mix for another minute (this insures that no tacky spots caused by unmixed material will be applied) and pour or brush or foam roller (use foam roller for a lint free application) coat apply unto the substrate to be sealed.

 

Allow the coating to flow out evenly and protect the surface from airborne dust and debris until it has set-up. If a thicker coating is desired, allow to set-up for at least 6 hours before applying subsequent coats.To remove stubborn surface bubbles, pass a flame from a propane torch over the surface very, very quickly and the air bubbles will pop. Allow the completed coating to cure for at least 24 hours before handling.

Optional step for a super high gloss finish

 Upon full cure of the coating, lightly wet sand the surface using a 1800 grit then an a 2000 grit or finer polishing or rubbing compound and apply durable car polish.  

 

To Use MAX CLR-HP A/B As A Casting Resin

 

Clean the mold and apply a good quality release agent such as wax mold release or PVA mold release.

Slowly pour the mixed MAX CLR HP into the on corner of mold cavity and allow the resin to fill the cavity allowing the entrapped air bubbles to rise to the surface.

Remove any surface air bubbles using the torch technique described above.

Allow to cure at room temperature for 24 to 36 hours.

 

To use MAX CLR-HP A/B As An Electrical Potting Compound.

 

Place the circuit board in the casing or cavity and secure all wiring leads to its desired position.

Pour the mixed MAX CLR-HP into one corner of the cavity and fill to the desired level. By pouring or filling the resin from corner of the electronic casing any air voids is pushed away and reduce the possibility of "high-pots" that is caused by voids in the potting compound.

Cure at room temperature for at least 24 hours before putting in service
