PTM&W Industries, Inc ES6238

PTM&W Industries, Inc ES6238 is a general purpose, aluminum filled, paste epoxy adhesive for metal repair and bonding and many other uses. This adhesive is recommended for general bonding, repair and gap filling on metal, cured plastics and other materials. It has excellent adhesion to metal, glass, wood and reinforced composite materials. ES6238 has a 1 to 1 mix ratio for easy measuring, and the balanced viscosities of the resin and hardener components combine readily for quick, thorough mixing. ES6238 is easily machined and filed when cured.

Directions For Use

PREPARATION: Allsurfacesto be bonded or patched must be free of dirt, oiland grease. Sanord roiughenningg t he area to be bonded increases the surface area and enhances the bond.

MIXING: Measure out equal parts of ES6238 Aand B, combine, and mixthoroughly until a uniform color and consistency is reached. Mix for atleast 1 to 2 minutes, scraping the sides and bottom of the containetro avoid leaving unmixed material that will cause soft spots in the cured material.

APPLICATION and CURING: Apply mixed material to roughened area of the parts to be bonded. Press surfaces firmly together and let set 8 to 10 hours at 75°F. Ifnecessary, place assembly in a jig or other device to prevent movement during initial curing time. Curing timeis 8 to 12 hours at 75°F, or 1 hourat 140°F. The material to be bonded may be preheated to accelerate curing time, or very light heat can be applied after the parts have been bonded.

Safety & Health

Safety And Handling

PTM&W epoxy products are made from raw materials carefully chosen to minimize or even eliminate toxic chemicals, and therefore offer the user high performance products with minimum hazard potential when properly used. Generally, the PIM&W epoxy resins and hardeners will present no handling problems if users exercise care to protect the skin and eyes, and if good ventilation is provided in the work areas. However, all epoxy resins and hardeners can be irritating tothe skin, and prolonged contact may result in sensitization; and breathinogf miors vatpor s may cause allergenic respiratory reaction, especially in highly sensitive individuals. As such, avoid contact with eyes and skin, and avoid breathing vapors. Wear protective rubber apron, clothing, gloves, face shield or otheritems as required to prevent contact with the skin. Incase of skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water, followed bya rinse of the area with vinegar, and then a further wash with soap and water. The vinegar will neutralize the hardener and lessen the chances of long term effects. Use goggles, a face shield, safety glasosr eotshe r itemsas required to prevent contact withthe eyes. If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush with waterforatleast 15 minutes and callaphysician. Generally, kethee worpkar ea as uncluttered and cleanas possible, andclean up any minor spills immediatelyto prevent accidental skin contact ata latertime. Keep tools clean and properly stored. Dispose of trash and empty containers properly.
