Shelf Life Details CONATHANE® EN-13 has a shelf life of 18 months from date of manufacture when stored in the original unopened containers at temperatures of 65°F to 85°F. If containers are opened and the contents only partially used, containers should be flushed with dry nitrogen (see CONAP® Dri-Purge) or dry air before being resealed to prevent waste of material. Shelf Life Temperature (°F) 65 to 85 Shelf Life Type From date of manufacture Shelf Life (mon) 18 -

Best Practices for Elantas (Altana) Conathane EN-13
-
Mixing
The two components should be mixed thoroughly in metal or glass containers using metal or glass stirrers. Degassing of the mixed system should be accomplished at room temperature at 1-5mm Hg vacuum. Containers should be large enough to allow for frothing during degassing. To ensure void-free castings, any material or container that could introduce moisture into the system should be avoided. Do not heat the components of the system prior to mixing.
The mixed viscosity is only 1200 centipoise (cps) at 25°C. After this induction period, reaction proceeds rapidly but with little exotherm, and gelation occurs in 30-35 minutes.
