Storage
The components have to be stored in tightly sealed and dry original
containers in an environment at 6~35℃;. Under these conditions, the
shelf life will correspond to the expiration date stated on the
label ( normally 12 months). After this date, the product may be
reanalyzed to confirm if it validates yet. Partial emptied
containers should be closed tightly immediately after use.
Packing
Resin 20kg / barrel or 240kg / barrel or 1200kg / barrel, curing
agent 20kg / barrel or 240kg / barrel or 1200kg / barrel
First aid
Contamination of eyes by resin, hardener of casting mix should be
treated immediately by flushing with clean,running water for 10 to
15minutes, a doctor should then be consulted.
Material smeared or splashed on the skin should be dabbed off, and
the contaminated area then washed and treated with a cleaning
cream. A doctor should be on the event of severe imitation of
burns. Contaminated clothing should be changed immediately. Anyone
taken ill after inhaling vapors should be moved out of doors
immediately,in all case of doubt call for medical assistance.

8214F Application process recommendation
1. Preparation of ingredients
1.1 The casting mold should be preheated in the oven at 100-110 ° C
for more than 10 hours, and above 4000kva transformer coil shall be
given a longer preheating time,
To ensure that the coil is completely dry and its temperature is
not less than 80 ° C when installed.
1.2 The silica powder shall be sealed to normal temperature for
more than 6 hours in an oven at 110-120 ° C.
2. Ingredients
2.1 Static mixture degassing
2.1.1 Premixing
Material A (epoxy) is based on weight ratio, resin: filler: color
paste 100:(125-color paste amount):proper amount, and mixed
separately after adding resin, filler and color paste,
The temperature is 65-70 ℃, stirring and degassing for no less than
2 hours, and 100 < p < 200pa.
Material B (curing agent) is based on the weight ratio, curing
agent: filler 100:125, mixed separately, temperature is 65-70 ℃,
stirring and degassing are not less than 2 hours, 100 < p <
200pa.
2.1.2 Final mixing
Then the components A and B are finally mixed, the accelerator
agent is not needed, and put material A and B are mixed in the
proportion of 100:100 into (or vacuum suction) final mixing tank,
and in order to stir well, we advise put the resin and hardener at
same or alternate time
2.1.3 Start stirring after feeding,make sure the the spiral lifter
can lift the mixture onto the umbrella degassing hood at its rotate
speed
2.1.4 After stirring for 15 minutes, start the vacuum pump for
degassing. The vacuum degree shall not be less than 300pa
2.1.5 The mixing degassing time is about 15-30 minutes, and the
degassing is completed when there is no bubble on the umbrella
surface
3. Casting
3.1 Set the casting tank temperature at 80-85 ℃, preheating shall
start 4-5 hours before batching, and to ensure that the temperature
of the mold during installation is not less than 80 ° C
3.2 After batching, the dried and preheated mold is pushed into the
casting tank for vacuum treatment
3.3 The space temperature of the casting tank is 80-85 ° C, the
vacuum degree is not less than 300pa, and the vacuum treatment time
is not less than 2 hours
3.4 , The feeding should not be too fast during casting. It can be
stopped for 10-15 minutes, and the vacuum can be continued for
20-30 minutes after the material is full. If possible, it can be
pressurized by 0.2-0.3mpa after vacuum treatment
3.5 The final mixing casting shall be completed within 90 minutes.
Please strictly control the temperature and time to prevent tank
solidification. The excess single component resin and curing agent
can be stored for several days, but it must be sealed and the
temperature should be well controlled
