Best Practices for Elantas (Altana) Conathane TU-8080
-
Mixing
Mix the TU-8080 Part A and TU-8080 Part B in the ratio specified above until homogeneous. Components may be preheated up to 60°C if reduced viscosity is required. If hand mixing, degas at >27 in. Hg vacuum before use.
Mix individual components thoroughly before use.
-
Curing
Cure 7 - 10 days at 25°C / 77°F – or – 16 hours at 60°C / 140°F
The cure schedules above are based on time after the unit reaches the specified temperature and are recommendations only. The user is responsible for determining the optimum cure conditions for his application.
