Spabond 345 EPOXY ADHESIVE SYSTEM ¬ High strength and toughness ¬ Excellent gap filling properties ¬ Designed for cartridge and mixing machine dispense ¬ Three hardener speeds give a range of working times / clamp times ¬ Low exotherm and shrinkage ¬ Germanischer Lloyd certified ¬ Lloyds Register certified INTRODUCTION Spabond 345 is a toughened, high performance adhesive system ideal for bonding large structures where substrate surfaces have uneven geometry. The product has a thick, paste-like consistency, and can be applied without sag in thicknesses of over 30mm at 15°C, making it ideal where large, uneven vertical gluelines are required. The product has a 2:1 mix ratio by volume. To aid mixing, the components are pigmented to give visual indication of mix quantity. The Fast hardener is coloured purple, but there is also a black version. This is useful for improving the cosmetic appearance of bondlines involving exposed carbon composites. Spabond 345 is available in 400ml cartridges, pails and drums.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE The product is optimised for use at 15 - 25°C. At lower temperatures the components thicken and may eventually become unworkable. To ensure accurate mixing and good workability pre-warm the resin & hardener as well as the surfaces to be bonded before use. Surface Preparation Before using the product ensure that surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and dust-free. Prepare all surfaces by abrading with medium grit paper (or other suitable abrasive), remove dust then wipe with fresh acetone or Gurit Fast Epoxy Solvent (Solvent A). Metals usually require a chemical pre-treatment...

Transport & Storage The resin and hardeners should be kept in securely closed containers during transport and storage. Any accidental spillage should be soaked up with sand, sawdust, cotton waste or any other absorbent material. The area should then be washed clean (see appropriate Safety Data Sheet). Adequate long term storage conditions will result in a shelf life of two years for both the resin and hardeners. Storage should be in a warm dry place out of direct sunlight and protected from frost. The temperature should be between 10°C and 25°C. Containers should be firmly closed. Hardeners,...
