Description: MAX CLR A/B Clear Liquid ResinFDA Compliant For Direct Food Contact Food Safe Coating And Adhesive (48 Fluid Ounces Combined Volume)1 Quart Of MAX CLR Part A -RESINAnd1 Pint MAX CLR PART B-Curing AgentPRODUCT DESCRIPTION MAX CLR A/B is a two-component epoxy resin system that is produced in compliance with FDA regulations intended for direct food contact coatings and adhesive applications. MAX CLR A/B is thermoset polymer that cures crystal clear and demonstrates high chemical resistance to acid or base compounds. It is resistant to dilute grain alcohol anf withstand with hot fluids (up to 187 °F) such as coffee, tea, and soups. MAX CLR A/B resin system creates a sanitizable coating that demonstrates low extractable of its constituents during direct food contact.Upon cure, the coating is a durable barrier that prevents absorption of fluids or organic compounds that allows bacterial colonization or microbial growth to occur. All components used to formulate the MAX CLR resin system are listed in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Part 175 for resinous coatings/adhesive subject to direct and indirect food contact.IMPORTANT GUIDELINES FOR FOOD CONTACT APPLICATIONSFor food contact applications, MAX CLR A/B must be fully cured to ensure no chemical leaching occurs when foodstuffs' come in contact with the coating. Any uncured MAX CLR caused by an improper application may be extracted and cause leaching and contaminate the food stuff. Please review the following application instructions to ensure the MAX CLR A/B cures to an inert and durable coating suitable for direct food contact.RESIN CRYSTALLIZATION FROM COLD WEATHERThe high purity nature of the resin formulation makes it prone to crystallizing when exposed to temperatures below 57°F. During the colder season, the MAX CLR PART A resin component may crystallize during shipping. It can also occur after the resin kit has been stored in an uncontrolled environment or after prolonged storage. Crystallized resin appears as an opaque white mass on the bottom of the bottle. Resin Crystallization is a very common cause of tacky or rubbery cure results. PROCESSINGWith the cap securely in place, place the PART A container in a hot water bath (160°F) until the contents are revert back to its liquid state and optically transparent.Cool the PART A bottle to 75°F and the mix the proper amount of PART B curing agent. STORAGEReplace caps securely after use to prevent moisture from contaminating both bottles and store above 65°F minimum temperature to prevent crystallization.The resin system will remain viable for at least 12 months or longer. Useful Preparation For Best Results Precondition both bottles to 75°F and measure the components accurately at a 2:1 mix ratio; 100 parts resin to 50 parts curing agent. The use of a weighing scale is recommended over volumetric measuring. Any off-ratio excess of either the resin or curing agent can cause poor cure results and cause excessive chemical leaching that can transfer to the food or beverage. The substrate must be suitable and prepared for the intended purpose of the application. Remove any contaminants that may interfere with the complete cure of the MAX CLR resin system. Exclude the use of materials and components not suitable for food contact (lead-based pigments, harsh cleaners and unsanitary conditions).PRACTICAL GUIDE ON HOW TO USE THIS RESIN SYSTEMReview All Published Data Regarding This Product. Proper Usage Data And Other Detailed Information Are Posted At This Page Mix the Resin And Curing Agent Only After The Surface Is Prepared For Application. STEP 1. SURFACE PREPARATIONThe quality of adhesion of any coating or adhesive application is dependent on how well the surface is prepared. The resin system must be able to properly 'wet-out' the surface to form a continuous film. Surfaces demonstrating poor wettability prevents the liquid resin from forming a cohesive bond. Improper surface wetting yields poor adhesion and will delaminate during use.Wetting is the ability of a liquid to interfaces or wet-out a solid surface; its dynamics is expressed as surface tension. A surface that demonstrates low surface tension, such as waxed surface, oily surface or slick plastics like Teflon, prevents wet-out and cause poor adhesion. In the same respect, if the surface is coated from a previous application, the epoxy adhesion is limited to adhesion quality of the primary coating is applied over. Make sure to remove any loose or peeling old coating before application to avoid delamination. If possible remove the old coating by mechanical sanding or power washing so the applied epoxy is in direct contact with the base substrate. Applying a coating over oil-based stain should be avoided. Poor Wetting Of The Resin (Crawling) Due To Oil-based Stain Applied On Wood Before applying any coating, test the surface tension and determine if it is suitable for the coating application. The coating retraction known as "crawling" is caused by the low surface-tension that makes the coating or adhesive to retract and cause the crawling effect.

In this demonstration, a SCOTCHBRITE pad was used to de-gloss the surface. Note the dramatic decrease in gloss after a light polishing with the abrasive pad. Very-fine sandpaper (wet-sanding) also works well.

Paste link into a browser window:Obtaining adequate bond strength when bonding plastic-to-plastic substrates or plastic to dissimilar substrates is often a challenge for epoxy bonding. In general plastic surfaces demonstrates poor ‘wettability’ or the ability of a liquid to form a continuous film. These types of substrates or are called LSE or Low Surface Energy substrates and in general, most thermoplastic surfaces fall into this category. Teflon or its generic name PTFE and other polyethylene plastics HDPE, LDPE, UHMW demonstrate poor liquid wettability due to its low surface energy. To create a viable bondable surface condition for these types of plastics, it must be surface treated by creating a superficial oxidized surface to increase its dynamic surface tension. Various types of physical treatment can be used to increase the surface energy of plastics, mostly through oxidation of the superficial layer. Flame treatment is the most widely used and cost-effective pre-treatment for polyethylene (HDPE, LDPE, UHMW) and polyolefin-based plastics prior to polymer bonding or printing. The process consists of exposing the surface to a suitable oxidizing flame for a period in the range 0.2 to 3.0 seconds. This treatment brings about a change to the polymer surface that increases its surface energy allowing fluids to effectively wet-out the surface and permits a strong adhesive molecular and mechanical bond. Adjust the propane torch so that a blue flame is achieved. Pass over the area to be treated several times until a slight haze is noticed on the surface of the substrate.

The container in which the epoxy and curing agent is mixed is an important consideration when mixing an epoxy resin system. The container must withstand the tenacity of the chemical and must be free of contamination. Most epoxy curing agent has a degree of corrosivity, as a general practice, protective gloves should be worn when handling chemicals of the same nature.MIXING KIT CONTENTS 1 Each Digital Scale -Durable, Accurate Up To 2000.0 Grams 4 Each 32-ounce (1 Quart) Clear HDPE Plastic Mix Cups4 Each 16-ounce (1 Pint) Clear HDPE Plastic Mix CupsOne Size Fits All Powder-Free Latex Gloves 2 Each Graduated SyringesWooden Stir SticksAssorted Size Foam Brush IMPORTANT NOTICEYour purchase constitutes the acceptance of this disclaimer.
