Lapox PowerGrip - Food grade epoxy adhesive

Lapox Powergrip

Lapox Powergrip is two component modified, viscous epoxy adhesive system. When both components are mixed in recommended ratios and cured appropriately at room temperature, an excellent bond strength can be achieved with most of the substrates including glass, metals, reactive plastics, wood, textile and natural stones. Faster productivity can be achieved, if curing is performed at higher temperature between 40°C and 60°C. Curing at higher temperature is recommended to achieve optimum bond strength.

Applications:

1. Artificial jewellery and jewel stone fixing

2. Electrical components

3. General engineering components

4. Natural stones Souvenirs and handicrafts

5. Suitable for food grade applications.

Advantages:

1. High bond strength

2. High mechanical strength even in dynamic conditions

3. Long pot life

4. Thermally stable and suitable to perform in extreme conditions

5. Water and chemical resistant

6. Approved by CFTRI for foodgrade epoxy adhesive

Specifications:

1. Mixing ratio (resin : hardener) w/w - 100 : 80

2. Mix viscosity at 25°C( m Pas): 30,000 - 40,000

3. Pot life (Minutes): 65 - 80

4. Peak exotherm temperature (°C): Max 60

5. Surface dry (Minutes): 110 - 130

6. Touch dry (Minutes): 300 - 320

7. Hard dry (Minutes): 510 - 530

Processing:

Surface preparation: The adherents must be thoroughly degreased with a good degreasing solvent (e.g. toluene, acetone trichloroethylene) and abraded with coarse emery paper or chemically etched. Inadequately pre-treated substrates may not bond satisfactorily.

Application method: The mixed mass is applied by brush or spatula on the surface to be adhered. The mix must be used within its pot life. Curing: Curing normally takes place at room temperature within about 24 hours depending on the ambient temperature but may be accelerated by the application of heat.

Packaging Lapox:

Powergrip is available in 450 g, 900 g and 1.8 kg bottles as well as 9 kg, 45 kg and 90 kg HDPE carboys.
