LG2001 Deep Pour Epoxy Product Info:

LG2001 Deep Pour Epoxy Resin is a specialised type of epoxy resin designed for applications that require pouring in thicker layers than traditional epoxy resins. This resin is formulated to enable deeper pours, typically 5-lSCM thick, without overheating or curing issues. It is commonly used for creating river tables, live-edge tables, and other projects where a deep, clear, bubble-free casting is desired. Deep Pour Epoxy Resin provides excellent clarity, UV resistance, and self-levelling properties, making it ideal for a variety of artistic and woodworking applications.

• When using, please check part A, observe whether there is settlement, and stir part A evenly
• he quantity according to the ratio, and the weighing is accurate, please remember that the ratio is a weight ratio rather than a volume ratio. After mixing, the A and B parts should be fully stirred evenly to avoid incomplete curing. 
• After mixing, please carry out the construction in time and try to use the mixed solution within the usable time.
• During curing, keep the environment clean to avoid impurities or dust falling into the uncured coating surface.

2)    Resistance voltage: KV/mm >22
3)    Bending strength: Kg/mm2 > 28
4)    Volume resistance: Ohm3 >1x10/15
5)    Surface resistance: Ohmm2 > 5x10/15

Matters that Need Attention:

1. Such products should be stored airtight under 25°C, with a relative humidity <70%.
2. Because this kind of product B agent is easy to absorb water vapour, leading to deterioration, the packaging bucket must be tightly sealed with the cover. 
3. After mixing, it will begin to solidify gradually, its viscosity will gradually rise, and it will release part of the heat. 
4, The more the amount of product mixed, the faster the reaction, the faster the curing speed will be, and may be accompanied by the release of a lot of heat, please pay attention to control the allocation of dosage, because due to the accelerated reaction, the use time will be shortened, the mixed resin as far as possible in a short time; 
5. Use time: refers to the time for the doubling of the viscosity of the mixed resin under the
condition of 25 °C, not after the operational time; 
6, the operation process must wear glasses and other necessary labour protection supplies, and take their own safety protection. 

Surface Treatment Before Construction:

Before construction, work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gear, such as gloves and a mask. Prepare a clean, level surface free of dust and debris. Accurately measure and mix the resin and hardener according to the manufacturer's instructions. Have all necessary tools, such as mixing containers, stirring sticks, and a heat gun or torch, ready. Familiarise yourself with the resin's working and curing times to ensure proper handling. For deep pours, consider using a mould or building a containment barrier to prevent leaks. Before full application, conduct a small test to check for compatibility and potential issues. Following these detailed steps and adhering closely to the manufacturer's guidelines will help you achieve the best possible outcome with Deep Pour Epoxy Resin. 

Construction Quantity:

Determining the amount of Deep Pour Epoxy Resin needed depends on the project's dimensions and the desired pour thickness. Calculate the surface area to be covered and the pour depth to estimate the required volume. Typically, you can use the formula: length x width x depth (in inches)/ 231 = total gallons needed. Consider factors such as multiple layers or coatings to achieve the desired finish. It's advisable to purchase slightly more resin than calculated to account for any spillage, waste, or unexpected needs during the application process. 

7.    Construction Conditions

• Coating ambient temperature range: 25 ~ 35 °C; Construction is generally not recommended when the ambient temperature is higher than 40 °C.
• Humidity range of coating environment: 30-85%; When the ambient humidity is higher than 90%, construction is generally not recommended.
• Ventilation conditions: ensure that the construction site is ventilated and dust-free, but there should be no strong wind. During construction in areas with poor air circulation, please ensure forced ventilation; the coating shall not be exposed to oil, chemicals, or mechanical stress until fully cured.

8.    Construction Method:    

Prepare the work area: Ensure proper ventilation, clean surfaces, and necessary tools.
•    Measure and mix: Accurately measure resin and hardener in the correct ratio.
•    Mix thoroughly: Stir gently to avoid introducing air bubbles.
•    Pour slowly: Pour resin evenly over the surface, ensuring complete coverage.
•    Remove bubbles: Use a heat gun or torch to eliminate air bubbles.
•    Allow to cure: Follow recommended curing time and temperature.

• Monitor: Check for any imperfections during the curing process.
• Finish: Sand or polish the cured surface for a smooth finish.
• Monitor: Check for any imperfections during the curing process.
• Finish: Sand or polish the cured surface for a smooth finish.

9.    Construction Parameters:

•    Mixing ratio (weight ratio): Component A: B = 2:1. Mix well after mixing. It is better to use a portable electric mixer at 800 r/min for 3 minutes. Ready to use, as many as you need.
•    Pot life after mixing (26 °C): 50 minutes. The higher the temperature, the shorter the service life after mixing.
•    Drying time: surface drying for 4H; Hard drying for 24H.
•    Recoating interval: after confirming that the coating is completely dry, the next process construction shall be carried out. Generally, the interval under standard conditions is 24h.

Note: The drying time is measured under standard conditions (23 ± 2 ·c, 50% humidity) for reference only. Drying speed varies with temperatures and humidity and is also affected by film thickness, ventilation, lower coating, etc. Generally, as the temperature increases, the drying time shortens; as the temperature drops, the drying time lengthens. 

10. Storage:

It must be stored in accordance with national regulations. The storage environment shall be dry, cool, and well ventilated, and shall be free of heat and fire sources. The packaging container must be kept closed. The product has a shelf life of 12 months from the production date. 

11. Transport:

During transportation, ensure the carriage is dry and closed, and the materials are stacked securely. 

12. Packing Specification:

Component A is 20kg, Component B is 10kg.
Can be packaged according to customer requirements.

Health & Safety LG2001 Deep Pour Epoxy:

• Please read the construction instructions and warning signs on the packaging container carefully before use.
• Use in a well-ventilated environment. Construction is not recommended when the air humidity exceeds 90%.
• The coating contains a small amount of film-forming additives.
• Please wear protective masks and other protective equipment during construction.
• Do not inhale paint mist. If it splashes into the eyes, rinse them with water and seek medical treatment immediately.
• Under normal construction conditions, the dry coating is non-toxic.
• Please feel free to use.
• For detailed poisoning, safety and first aid matters, please refer to the chemical safety technical manual (MSDS) of the product.
