Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Kneadatite Blue/Yellow is a two-part epoxy sealant designed for interior and exterior repairs. It cures at room temperature to form a strong polymer compound suitable for repair, modeling, and sculpting. The product is known for its clay-like consistency, which prevents drips and facilitates adhesion and shaping before curing.
Basic Uses: This epoxy is versatile, suitable for underwater pool repairs, pipe and tank crack repairs, filling automobile dents, forming gaskets, attaching signs, and more. It is favored by sculptors for its long work life and ability to hold fine detail.
Benefits: Kneadatite Blue/Yellow is hand-mixable, has a long work life, adheres to most surfaces, is solvent-free, and resistant to shrinkage, corrosion, and various chemicals. It conforms to ASTM D4236 standards.
Application Limitations: The epoxy will not adhere to polyethylene, polypropylene, or PTFE and is not intended for structural applications.
Color and Packaging: The base is yellow, the curing agent is blue, and the cured color is green. It is available in bars or rolls, packaged in reusable containers.
Usage Instructions: Prepare the surface by cleaning and roughening it. Mix equal parts of the blue and yellow components until a uniform color is achieved. Apply within one hour of mixing, forcing the material into cracks or holes. The work life is 1.5 to 2 hours, with a functional cure in 4 to 5 hours and ultimate hardness in 20 to 24 hours.
Health Precautions: Contains epoxy resins that can irritate skin and eyes. Use gloves and avoid inhalation of dust. Keep out of reach of children.
Performance Data: The epoxy has a mix ratio of 1.5:1, a density of 12.8 lb/gl, and a work life of 1.5 to 2 hours. It cures to a Shore D hardness of 60 and has a lap shear tensile strength of 500 psi on steel. It is resistant to various chemicals and can withstand temperatures from -40°F to +250°F continuously.

Kneadatite®-1

Kneadatite Blue/Yellow Epoxy Sealant/Adhesive ® Product description Kneadatite Blue/Yellow is a room-temperature curing, two-part epoxy sealant for all types of interior and exterior maintenance and repairs. When properly mixed together to a uniform green color, it forms an industrial-strength polymer compound for repair, modeling, and sculpting. Kneadatite Blue/Yellow’s consistency (like modeling clay) eliminates drips and runs, facilitates adhesion to the substrate, and allows shaping before cure begins. Once cured, it can be sawed, drilled, carved, sanded, and painted. Basic uses Use Kneadatite Blue/Yellow to make underwater pool repairs, repair cracks in pipes and tanks, fill small automobile dents, form custom gaskets, attach signs, hang light fixtures, repair stripped screw holes, and much, much more. Nicknamed “Green” by sculptors, Kneadatite Blue/Yellow is well known for its long work life, non-grainy texture, and its ability to hold fine detail. Cured models withstand the heat and pressure of up to 4 vulcanizations in the moldmaking process for castings. Sculptors using this product will find helpful tips and information in our Sculptor’s Information Sheet available on our website at polymericsystems.com. Benefits • Hand-mixable with no messy residue or cleanup. • Long work life. • Applies and shapes like putty. • Tenacious adhesion to almost any surface. • Solvent-free; no VOCs. • Won’t shrink, pull away, corrode, or rust. • Solvent-, chemical- and water-resistant. • Labeling conforms to ASTM D4236. Application limitations • Will not adhere to polyethylene, polypropylene or PTFE. • Not intended for use in structural applications. Color Base is Yellow; curing agent is Blue; cured Packaging Kneadatite Blue/ Yellow Epoxy is available in two forms: as two 3-1/2˝ (8.9 cm) bars (4 oz / 114 g total weight) in a reusable plastic tube with end cap, and as a 1˝ x 36˝ (25 mm x 91 cm) long roll, 3.5 oz (100 g) in weight in a plastic box. Both are packaged 24 per carton. How to use Surface preparation: Before applying, roughen and clean the area to be repaired. Mixing and application: Wear impermeable gloves when mixing or handling uncured product. Tape - Cut or twist off equal lengths of flat blue and yellow tape. Bars - Cut or twist off 1 part curing agent (blue) to 1.5 parts base (yellow). Mix by twisting and kneading with gloved fingers to a uniform color. For best results, use damp fingers for easier mixing and application. Apply to the surface to be repaired within 1 hour of mixing. Force into cracks or holes and remove excess material before hardening begins, preferably with a tool moistened with water. When applying to a damp or wet area, work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until Health precautions • Contains Epoxy Resins. Epoxies are skin/eye irritants and known sensitizers. Direct product contact may cause an allergic reaction in some individuals. Avoid skin/eye contact. Wear impermeable gloves when mixing or handling uncured product. • Inhalation of dust may be harmful. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wear dust mask and protective eyewear when sanding cured product. • Ingestion of product may be harmful. Avoid ingestion. • Turn off power when doing electrical repairs. • KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. For additional health and safety information, consult a Safety Data Sheet.
