AeroMarine 1150 Epoxy is a high performance gray epoxy adhesive, excellent for repairing concrete and filling cement cracks.
Our 1150 Epoxy is also used in the manufacture and repair of aircraft, boats, sporting goods, and industrial products. It bonds wood, metals, fiberglass, and most hard plastics.
Finally, AeroMarine 1150 epoxy is also widely used for electronic potting and encapsulation applications.
It is not recommended for use on polyethylene, polypropylene, Tedlar, anodized aluminum, EPDM or Teflon.
1 gallon kit ( 1/2 gallon of each resin and hardener)
Comes with 1 gallon bag of aerosil resin filler

HOW-TO:

Mixing:

Mix the resin and hardener in equal parts by weight or volume.
AeroMarine 1150 Epoxy begins to gel in about 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the batch and the temperature.
NOTE: You must shake the container of gray resin vigorously for 60 seconds before mixing it with the hardener in order to maintain color dispersion.
Also, you must shake or turn the container of gray resin weekly to keep the color from settling.
Apply to clean, dry, non-oily surfaces. Cleaning with acetone, isoprophyl alcohol, or MEK is recommended.
Sanding or abrading surfaces generally increases bond strength.
**If applying 1150 epoxy for concrete repair, you must first clean the area thoroughly by vigorous sweeping or using “air in a can” before applying 1150 epoxy.**

Tips:

Never mix less than about 3 ounces of product. When manufacturers design and test their resins they normally write the specifications for 100 gram batches, which is about 3 ounces.
There are two bad things that can happen when mixing a smaller batch. Because the sample is small, it is much more difficult to get the mix ratio correct. Also, these mixtures are exothermic, meaning that they generate heat in order to cure. A tiny batch does not generate enough heat to cure the resin properly.

Avoid mixing a large batch- At least until you are familiar with the product. The larger the batch, the more exotherm or heat is generated in the cure cycle. If you are casting a large part, consider mixing small batches to make the process more manageable. Thickness of the pour also affects the exotherm and cure speed. 3/8” is about the maximum thickness to pour most epoxies.

Do not vary the mix ratio- Old style polyester resins were catalyzed with a chemical called MEK.
You could vary the mix ratio to get different reaction speeds. Modern epoxies, polyurethanes, and silicones are different. They don’t use a true “catalyst”, but have a different kind of reaction
method. Varying the mix ratio usually results in a mess.
Mix and pour everything twice- Please see instructions above.
Mix in plastic containers. Paper cups contain moisture which may adversely affect the resin, especially polyurethanes. Avoid waxed paper cups as well.
Storage- Epoxy hardeners usually last forever. Epoxy resins; however, tend to freeze even at
fairly high temperatures, sometimes into the fifty degree Fahrenheit range. If allowed to freeze,
“epoxy ice” can form in the container. It usually looks like swirls of white stuff suspended in the
resin. It can be reconstituted by warming at 120F for a couple of hours- or you can use the “nonice” part of the epoxy.
Avoid mixing with drill motors. Mixing with an electric drill can cause a few problems. Frequently they don’t get into every corner of the mixing container. Also, if they spin too fast they can generate friction in the resin causing it to exotherm out of control resulting in premature curing. Powered mixing also can generate a lot of air bubbles.
Spraying- Do NOT Spray! Epoxies don’t spray well. They tend to run off vertical surfaces when sprayed. Addition of Cabosil will eliminate the run-off, but the epoxy turns a whitish color.
Clean-up- We use aerosol carburetor cleaner to clean up spills and messes. Otherwise just about any solvent will work, including acetone, MEK, toluene, xylene, and lacquer thinner.
Avoid regular paint thinner (mineral spirits). To clean hands, use “Fast Orange” hand cleaner available in automotive supply stores.
Test- Always run a test to determine the feasibility of your process. There are many unforeseen factors that can affect the outcome of your project. Running a controlled test may be inconvenient, but it can make the “Learning Curve” of processing these products much easier.
You must accurately calculate the size of your project and the amount of epoxy that you will need!* If you are applying our epoxy over a porous surface, you may need to use more epoxy to obtain your desired coverage.
