Best Practices for Elantas (Altana) Conathane EN-2555
-
Mixing
The two components should be mixed thoroughly in metal. or glass containers using metal or glass stirrers.
-
Deairing/Degassing
Degassing of the mixed material should be accomplished at room temperature to 60°C at 1-5mm Hg vacuum. Containers should be large enough to allow for frothing during degassing. Any material or container that could introduce water into the system should be avoided.
