  • Low Odor, Low Toxicity Resin System
  • Allows Expansion And Contraction Preventing Glass Vase Breakage
  • Maintains Clarity And Color Stability

DESCRIPTION

MAX TCR A/B is formulated to simulate the appearance of water in an artificial floral arrangement. It offers crystal clarity, low viscosity and a long working time.
The long working time helps reduce premature yellowing from exothermic heat during curing and allows air bubbles to outgas and yields optically clear casting.
Upon cure, MAX TCR A/B exhibits a strong bond to the artificial arrangements, glass embeds, and the glass vase itself.
The embedded and artificial or silk floral stacks are all resistant to pulling.

It is designed to be flexible to prevent the glass vase from shattering caused by expansion and contraction, especially on a thin-walled glass vase.

MAX TCR A/B is mixed 1:1 by volume or by weight, sets in 24 hours and fully cures in 48 hours.
Longer cure times may occur at when cured at cold temperatures.
MAX TCR A/B works well as an embedding resin for diorama and display applications.

THIS KIT INCLUDES A SET OF YORKER CAPS FOR CONTROLLED DISPENSING.


Use these Yorker caps to dispense the material with ease and minimize over pouring and reduce spills.
We do not recommend using dispensing pumps.
The curing agent or PART B of an epoxy resin system is sensitive to moisture and carbon dioxide.
It will react with the curing agent and form carbamate crystals (salt-like crystals that form on the tip of the pump) and reduce reactivity. 


Unless the kit is used continuously and within a short period of time, using dispensing pumps will cause more problems than ease-of-use.
The pump leaves the bottle open to moisture (from the pressure-relief hole) and unless you plan on using the whole kit in less than a month.
The curing agent will degrade and cause other curing problems.


CARBAMATE CRYSTALS THAT FORM ON THE PUMP WHEN THE CURING AGENT IS EXPOSED AMBIENT  MOISTURE AND CARBON DIOXIDE.

THESE CRYSTALS ARE INSOLUBLE IN EPOXY RESIN RESULTING IN CONTAMINATION AND CAUSES POOR CURE AND AMINE-BLUSHING.




Use these Yorker caps and cut the tip to meter the orifice tip size for accurate dispensing.  

When done, replace the tip cap and it will exclude ambient moisture and keep the resin system viable for years. 

 To use the caps, cut off the tip to the desired hole size, and attach, do not cut pass the ridge line that keeps the tip cap in place.

To dispense, lay the plastic jug unto its side and apply pressure on the bottle to dispense the contents.

When done replace the tip cap and the container is sealed and it will be usable for years.


RESIN CRYSTALLIZATION FROM PROLONGED STORAGE OR COLD WEATHER EXPOSURE

The resin component or PART A may crystallize due to cold temperature exposure or after being stored.
MAX TCR A/B
 is of a high purity grade that makes it prone to crystallization when exposed to cold temperatures.
Similar to high purity compounds like honey that freezes when placed in cold temperature like the refrigerator (below 50ºF or 10ºC); high purity epoxy resins freeze or crystallize below 57°F.

 All kits are heat-processed before packaging to ensure PART A is in its liquid form.
Please inspect the resin component for any solidified crystals, which will appear as waxy solid or cloudiness on the bottom of the PART A bottle.

To ensure a trouble-free cure, heat-process the PART A bottle, especially for pigmented resin systems and destinations where the cold temperature is expected.

 Crystallization also occurs if the kit has been stored over the winter months.

An information postcard is included with each package. View the following video for identification and processing.

DO NOT USE UNLESS PROCESSED TO REVERT ANY CRYSTALLIZED RESIN BACK TO A LIQUID STATE AND AVOID POOR CURED RESULTS.

Storage
Secure the caps for both bottles after use and store above 65°F minimum temperature to prevent re-crystallization. 
The resin system will remain viable for at least 12 months or longer when stored properly.
The PART A or resin component may 'crystallize' after prolonged storage. 
Please inspect the PART A bottle for any solid crystallization that will appear on the bottom of the bottle.

 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.
