IMPACT RESISTANCE OF MAX CLR-HP A/B


MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE TEST

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 skillful 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
- A material that will resist such assaults over the projected life span.

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, pre seal 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 raising. 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 embedding pictures or other items unto the tabletop, plaques or a decoupage projects, secure the items using the 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.

Thick Casting Applications

Mix and pour about 200 grams of Part A resin to 100 grams Curing agent per stage casting until the desired thickness is achieved. Allow 90 minutes in between staged casting or until the prior pour has cooled before pouring the next volume. No sanding is needed in between cast and allow to cure for at least 36 hours before demolding.

Step Two: 
Choose the best epoxy resin system
 FRP- FIBER REINFORCED PLASTIC.
The epoxy resin used in fabricating a laminate will dictate how the FRP will perform when load or pressure is implied on the part.
To choose the proper resin system, consider the following factors that is crucial to a laminate's performance.
SIZE AND CONFIGURATION OF THE PART
(NUMBER OF PLIES  AND CONTOURED, FLAT OR PROFILED)
CONSOLIDATING FORCE
(FREE STANDING DRY OR HAND LAY-UP, VACUUM BAG OR PLATEN PRESS CURING)
CURING CAPABILITIES
(HEAT CURED OR ROOM TEMPERATURE CURED)
LOAD PARAMETERS
(SHEARING FORCE, TORSIONAL AND DIRECTIONAL LOAD, BEAM STRENGTH)
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE
The principal role of the resin is to bind the fabric into a homogeneous rigid substrate
(OPERATING TEMPERATURE, AMBIENT CONDITIONS, HUMIDITY, CHEMICAL EXPOSURE, CYCLIC FORCE LOADING)
MATERIAL AND PRODUCTION COST
(BUYING IN BULK WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE THE BEST OVERALL COSTS AS WELL AS DOING IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME)
These factors will dictate the design and the composition of the part and must be carefully considered during the design and engineering phase of the fabrication.

Step Three:

Proper Lay-Up Technique

Pre-lay-up notes

Lay out the fabric and pre-cut to size and set aside

  • Avoid distorting the weave pattern as much as possible

  • For fiberglass molding, ensure 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 and implements needed are ready and within reach

Mix the proper amount of resin needed and be accurate proportioning the resin and curing agent. Adding more curing agent than the recommended mix ratio will not promote a faster cure. Over saturation or starving the fiberglass or any composite fabric will yield poor mechanical performance. When mechanical load or pressure is applied to the composite laminate, the physical strength of the fabric should bear the stress and not the resin. If the laminate is over saturated with the resin it will most likely to fracture or shatter instead of rebounding and resist damage.

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

A good rule of thumb is to maintain a minimum of 30 to 35% resin content by weight, this is the optimum ratio used in high-performance prepreg (or pre-impregnated fabrics) typically used in aerospace and high-performance structural application.For general hand lay-ups, calculate using 60% fabric weight to 40% resin weight as a safety factor. This will ensure that the fabricated laminate will be below 40% resin content depending on the waste factor accrued during fabrication.

Place the entire pre-cut fiberglass to be used on a digital scale to determine the fabric to resin weight ratio. Measuring by weight will ensure accurate composite fabrication and repeatability, rather than using OSY data.

Typical fabric weights regardless of weave pattern

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

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

Ounces per square yard or OSY is also known 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 divided by 60%)X( 40%)= weight of mixed resin needed

OR

fw= fabric weight

rc= target resin content

rn=resin needed

MASTER EQUATION

(fw/60%)x(40%)=rn

FOR EXAMPLE

1 SQUARE YARD OF 8-OSY FIBERGLASS FABRIC WEIGHS 224 GRAMS

(224 grams of dry fiberglass / 60%) X 40% = 149.33 grams of resin needed

So for every square yard of 8-ounce fabric,

It will need 149.33 grams of mixed resin.

Computing for resin and curing agent requirements based on

149.33 grams of resin needed

MIX RATIO OF RESIN SYSTEM IS 2:1 OR

50 PHR (per hundred resin)

2 = 66.67% (2/3)

+

1 = 33.33%(1/3)

=

(2+1)=3 or (66.67%+33.33%)=100% or (2/3+1/3)= 3/3

149.33x 66.67%= 99.56 grams of Part A RESIN

149.33x 33.33%= 49.77 grams of Part B Curing Agent

      99.56+ 49.77 = 149.33 A/B MIXTURE

      GENERAL FIBERGLASSING AND FRP FABRICATION

Apply the mixed resin onto the surface and then lay the fabric and allow the resin to saturate through 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 onto a film of resin, fewer 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 pockets unhindered and uniformly dispersed throughout the fiberglass with minimal mechanical agitation or by spreading.

Step Four: Proper Curing
Allow the lay-up to cure for a minimum of 24 to 36  hours before handling.
Optimum cured properties can take up to 7 days depending on the ambient cure condition. 
The ideal temperature 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 and development of cured mechanical properties.
Improving mechanical performance via post heat cure
 A short heat post cure will further improve the mechanical performance of most epoxy resins. Allow the applied resin system to cure at room temperature until for 18 to 24 hours and if possible, expose heat cure it in an oven or other sources of radiant heat (220°F to 250°F) for45 minute to an hour. You can also expose it to direct sunlight but place a dark colored cover, such as a tarp or cardboard to protect it from ultraviolet exposure.
In general room temperature cured epoxy resin has a maximum operating temperature of 160°F or lower
A short heat post cure will ensure that the mixed epoxy system is fully cured,
especially for room temperature cured system that can take up to 7 days to achieve 100% cure
Some darkening or yellowing of the epoxy resin may occur if overexposed to high temperature (>250 F).

AMINE BLUSH
The affinity of an amine compound (curing agent) to moisture and carbon dioxide creates a 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.
Although we have formulated the MAX CLR, MAX BOND and MAX GPE product line to be resistant to amine-blush,
it is recommended not to mix any resin systems in high humidity conditions, greater than 60%.
Always make sure that the substrate or material the epoxy resin system is being applied to
 is as dry as possible to ensure the best-cured performance.

OTHER TYPES OF EPOXY RESIN CURE MECHANISM
LATENT CURING SYSTEMS
Latent epoxy resins are systems that are mixed together at room temperature and will begin polymerization but it will not achieve full cure unless it is exposed to a heat cure cycle. In general, these are high-performance systems that demonstrate exceptional performance under extreme conditions such as high mechanical performance under heat and cryogenics temperatures, chemical resistance or any environment that epoxy room temperature system perform marginally or poorly.
  Upon the mixing of the resin and curing agent polymerization will begin and will only achieve partial cure. Some resins may appear cured or dry to the touch,  this state is called 'B-Stage Cure' ,but upon application of force will either be gummy or brittle almost glass-like and will dissolve in most solvents. The semi-cured resin must be exposed to an elevated temperature for it to continue polymerization and achieve full cure. 
 
UV CURING SYSTEMS

Similar to "addition cure" or catalytic polymerization, Ultraviolet Curing is another method that has gained popular use in the polymer adhesives and coatings application. It offers a unique curing mechanism that converts a liquid polymer into a solid plastic upon exposure to UV radiation. The two common commercially significant method are "FREE RADICAL INITIATION" and CATIONIC REACTION. In both reaction polymerization occurs via decomposition of a Photoinitiator blended within the resin system; upon exposure to the adequate wavelength of Ultraviolet energy the photoinitiator degrades and cause a ring opening or cleavage of the photoinitiator molecule and induces rapid polymerization or cross-linking.

The polymerization reaction can be either free radical or cationic and occurs almost instantaneous creation of a polymer network.


HEAT ACTIVATED CURING SYSTEMS
This type of epoxy system will not polymerize unless it is exposed to the activation temperature of the curing agent which can be as low as 200F and as high as 400F. 
In most instances, our MAX EPOXY SYSTEMS epoxy system can be stored at room temperature and remain liquid for up to six months and longer

USE AN INFRARED HEAT LAMP FOR LARGER PARTS IF A PROCESS OVEN IS NOT AVAILABLE


POSSIBLE HEAT CURING TECHNIQUES

If an oven is not available to provide the needed thermal post cure, exposing the assembly part to direct solar heat
(sun exposure) for a 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.

Proportioning the correct amount is equally as important to attain the intended cured properties of the resin system.
The container in which the epoxy and curing agent is mixed is an important consideration when mixing an epoxy resin system. 
The container must withstand the tenacity of the chemical and must be free of contamination.
Most epoxy curing agent has a degree of corrosivity, as a general practice, protective gloves should be worn when handling chemicals of the same nature.
