Important Guidelines For Food Contact Applications
For food contact, MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC A/B must be fully cured no chemical leaching can occur.
Please review the following and to avoid any curing problems.
Check for resin crystallization.
During the colder season, the MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC resin component or PART A may crystallize.
The resin crystallization must be heat-processed to revert its usable gel or paste-like state.
Inspect the PART A bottle for any solid mass particles that forms during during cold temperature exposure or after prolonged storage.

Weigh or measure the components accurately at a 1:1 mix ratio.
Any off-ratio excess of either the resin or curing agent in the mixture can cause poor cure and can cause chemical leaching that can transfer to the food or beverage.
Use a digital scale and weigh each component for best results.
For example, 200 grams of MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC PART A will require 100 grams of
MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC PART
B.
This digital scale is available on eBay for purchase.
THE USE OF A WEIGHING SCALE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO ENSURE PROPER CURE.

Mix the components thoroughly.
Any unmixed component from poor mixing will result in poor polymerization and can be extracted and cross-contaminated the foodstuffs.
Allow the applied resin to fully cure for a minimum of 48 hours at 75°F before exposing the coating to any food or beverage.
Heat cure to 170
°F for 4 hours for faster cure time.
Rinse the cured coating with warm water and mild detergent before allowing any food contact.
POSSIBLE HEAT CURING TECHNIQUES
If an oven is not available, exposing the assembled part to solar heat (sun exposure) for a short period will provide enough heat to accelerate curing.
Other heat curing such as infrared heat lamps can be used if a heat chamber or oven is not available.

Mixing Instructions
Dispense equal parts of Part A and Part B and mix thoroughly until a homogeneous consistency is achieved.
The mixture will turn translucent milky amber but will clarify when applied in a thin film during curing.
Transfer the mixed resin into another clean container and mix for another minute and use.
For mix metering application, ensure that an equal flow rate of Part A and Part B is achieved.
A 24 element static mixer provides excellent mix results.
Attach the static mixer and dispense and discard approximately 1-ounce material before using the material.
Dispense the material in on the corner of the component casing and allow the material to completely flow throughout.
This technique will reduce voids and air entrapment.
The use of a weighing scale is highly recommended for proportioning the components.
The resin systems used for direct food contact must yield absolute cure to ensure no chemical leaching can occur when the cured coating comes in contact with the foodstuff.
Improper or poor mix ratio accuracy from using volumetric measurement may cause inaccuracy which may cause uncured components to leach from the applied coating.
Use a digital scale to precisely weigh the resin and curing agent and ensure full polymerization of the resin and curing agent and prevent leaching.

MAX BOND THIXOTROPIC does not contain nonreactive plasticizer that can leach out over time.
It
is FDA compliant for direct and indirect food contact applications.
Measure out equal amounts of Part A and Part B, mix and apply and allow to cure overnight.
It has a 90 minute working time and can be handled in 6 hours.
A strong bond will develop in 10 hours of room temperature curing and will fully cure within 24 to 36 hours.
Heat curing is also ideal for MAX BOND THIXOTORPIC for a faster cure time and will maintain its non-flowing properties at elevated temperatures.
The mixed consistency is similar to peanut butter and is easily applied using a brush, spatula, trowel or injected into place using a syringe.
Epoxy Resin have a definite working time (pot life), after mixing the components together.
The working time is greatly affected by the amount of resin that is being mixed per batch.
Other factors such as the ambient temperature of the environment and the temperature of the PART A and PART B respectively will also affect the rate of cure.
There are two aspects that must be understood when working with epoxy resins once the curing agent and epoxy are combined.
Working Time
:  Relates to the time that the adhesive will provide the best performance when it is applied onto to the substrate.
As the epoxy begins to polymerize, energy is typically released and its evidence can be observed as heat generation, called exothermic heat.
Heat affects the viscosity working time, and full cure time.
During the summer months the working is shorter and longer during the winter months.
Spreading the adhesive into a film provides a longer working time
To yield the full strength that was engineered into the epoxy resin, it important that the mixed resin is applied within the established working time.
An exponential decrease in mechanical properties and adhesion quality will be experienced the longer the mixed resin is left in a confined mass.
Thin Film Set Time
is the time for the applied thin layer to cure solid.
This time difference is typical 4 to 6 time longer than the working time.
Surface Preparation Prior To Bonding
In virtually every application the quality of the bond between the resin system and the surface to which it is applied is improved if the surface is clean and dry.
This is particularly true of adhesive applications where stress will be applied to the cured bond line.
It is also true where protective coatings are used. The following surface preparation procedures are recommended.
METALS
Degrease – Wipe laying surfaces with Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK) or acetone to remove all oil, dirt, and grease.
Etch – For optimum results, metal parts should be immersed in a chromic acid bath solution consisting of:
Sodium dichromate – 4 parts by weight
Sulfuric acid – 10 parts by weight
Water – 30 parts by weight
The solution should be held at a temperature of 160°F (71°C), and the parts left immersed for 5 to 7 minutes.
Rinse – remove metal parts from etching bath and rinse in clean cold water (de-ionized water is recommended). If thoroughly clean, metal surfaces so treated will hold a thin film of water.
Dry – To accelerate drying, items to be bonded can be placed in an air-circulating oven.
ALTERNATE PROCEDURE
Degrease, scour and dry – Often etching as outlined above is not practical. The metal surfaces may be cleaned by degreasing as noted above, scouring with an alkaline cleanser followed by rinsing and drying.
Degrease and dry – Degrease the surface as noted above, sand or sandblast the surface lightly but thoroughly. Rinse with acetone or Methyl Ethyl Ketone (MEK), and dry.
GLASS
Degrease – With MEK as above, or with a strong boiling solution of a good grade household detergent.
Etch – For optimum results, degreasing can be followed by the chromic acid bath outlined above.
WOOD
Sand – Bonding surfaces should be sanded lightly, but thoroughly to remove all external contamination.
Clean – Carefully remove all dust, or particles of wood from sanded areas. A stiff and clean brush or compressed air can be used.
PLASTIC
(see Flame Treating below)
Clean – Remove all dirt, oil, or other surfaces contaminated with detergent soap or degreasing solvent and water, followed by thorough rinsing and drying. A solvent that does not have a detrimental effect may also be used.
Sand – Surfaces to be bonded should be sanded lightly, but thoroughly to remove surface sheen.
Clean – Carefully remove all dust or particles of plastic from the sanded area. A clean brush, lint-free cloth, or compressed air may be used.

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.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO MEASURE, MIX, DISPENSE OR APPLY
Proportioning the correct amount is equally as important to attain the intended cured properties of the resin system.
T
he 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.
