Product Description

Typical Applications

Suitable for replication and moulding; object replication such as sculptures, rocks, statues, etc. It is possible to replicate any kind of shape, even undercuts and any kind of horizontal or vertical surface. Mould release agent is necessary.

Processing

ARMOUR - FORM is processed through specially designed dispensing equipment having accurate metering pumps for the two components. The components should be maintained at 40 - 60ºC and mixed and sprayed by the appropriate gun, on which Isothane technical staff can advise.

Cured elastomer to be repaired should be abraded and traces of dust removed. Maximum adhesion will be obtained if the surfaces to be repaired are heated to a minimum of 35ºC. Some surfaces will require the use of an Isothane primer.

To bond ARMOUR - FORM to the substrate, the substrate must be dry and its temperature at least 3ºC above the local dew point. ARMOUR - FORM is hydrophobic so unaffected by damp substrates if it is meant to be non - bonded or demoulded.

Storage, Handling and Personal Protection

• ARMOUR - FORM should be stored in dry conditions at a temperature 10 - 25º C.
• ARMOUR - FORM R Resin and Armour - Form H have a shelf life of 12 months if stored at 10 - 25º C.
• Opened, part used containers must be resealed immediately after use.

The recommendations in our Safety Data Sheet for this product must be followed at all times. More general information is included in our publication “A Guide to the Safe Handling of Polyurethane Chemicals” and in the following Technical Data Sheets which are available on request:-

• Decontamination of Isocyanates using Isothane Decontaminant.

Additional Information

ARMOUR - FORM R resin may require some agitation before use, in order to effect redispersion of any pigment. Recirculation of both components from the barrel, through the machine’s heater blocks and back to the barrel, is recommended when using standard 2:1 or 1:1 transfer pumps, in order to prime the materials and machine. 30 minutes of recirculation to warm the components to around 40º C will be adequate.

Post Curing: articles need not be post cured.
