PRODUCT DATA SHEET STANDARD E TROWELABLE FAIRING Features & Uses Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard is a 2 component solvent-free epoxy based product, non-shrinking straightedge putty for smoothing steel, aluminum and polyester surfaces. Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard gives excellent adhesion to primed steel, aluminum and polyester surfaces. Adhesion of the various layers of Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard after sanding exceeds 2.5 N/mm². if several layers of Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard are necessary, each layer must be properly sanded before the next one is applied. Specification Data Type: Two component solvent-free epoxy Color: Yellow Specific Weight: ~1.8 Hardness: ~ 82 Shore D Packaging: Available in 10 Kg sets of base/hardner 2 Theoretical Coverage – 0.9kg/m at 0.5mm of layer thickness Coverage calculations are based on theoretical transfer efficiency of 100%. Actual coverage rate obtained will vary according to equipment choice, application techniques, part size, and application environment. Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard may be applied in layers with a minimum thickness of approximately 4 mils (100 microns) Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard cures in any layer thickness. At 77°F (25°C) Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard may be sanded after 24 hours. After 7 days at 77°F (25°C), curing is complete. Application Equipment At a temperature of 68-86°F (20-30°C) Awlgrip Trowelable Fairing Compound Standard is easily workable with a putty knife, trowel or spatula. Surface Preparation Only apply over properly applied and prepared Awlfair LW or Awlgrip primers. Awlfair LW, Hullgard Extra Epoxy Primer, Hullgard Epoxy Primer and High Build are recommended substrates/ primers. Standard E Trowelable Filler may be applied direct to Hullgard Extra or Hullgard Epoxy Primer without the need for sanding. See the relevant primer product datasheet for details. High Build must be sanded prior to application of Standard E Trowelable Filler. Mixing and Reduction To ensure optimal mixing, the 2 components are a different colour. After mixing, the colour of the mixture should be homogeneous. Mixing may be done mechanically (e.g. with blender) or by hand. Base and converter must be stirred separately before mixing them together. Thorough mixing of base and converter and an exact mixing ratio are essential. Mixing Ratio: Anticipated Pot Life: 100 weight parts base : 50 weight parts converter At 20°C : approx. 60 minutes At 30°C : approx. 30 minutes 2270 Morris Avenue • Union, New Jersey 07083 • USA • Tel: 908.686.1300 • Fax: 908.964.2219 Bannerlaan 54 • B-2280 Grobbendonk • Belgium • Intl.

Apply Standard E Trowelable Filler by putty knife, trowel or spatula to an area you can work in 20–30 minutes. Pot life and working time is dependent upon temperature. Warmer climates will decrease pot life. For filling of sand scratches and pinholes apply thin coats of Standard E Trowelable Filler screeding it across the substrate to work the filler into the depressions. For build layers start with...
