Product catalog summary
Product Description
MIX2FIX FC Translucent Adhesive is a low-odor, two-component modified epoxy adhesive that cures rapidly at room temperature. It offers exceptional tensile adhesion and peel strength across various substrates, forming a tough bond without clamping.

Basic Uses
This adhesive is suitable for bonding wood, metal, fiberglass, glass, ceramics, and many hard plastics. It forms a strong bond that can be filed, drilled, tapped, or sanded after curing.

Benefits
  • No volatile solvents and no shrinkage upon curing.
  • High peel strength and impact resistance for industrial and household repairs.
  • Excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates.
  • Fast-curing and thixotropic.

Application Limitations
  • Does not adhere to PTFE, polyethylene, or polypropylene.
  • Becomes very hot during cure; do not mix more than 8 oz. (224 g.) at a time.
  • Not suitable for temperatures below 41°F (5°C) or structural applications.

Color and Packaging
The cured color is translucent, and it is available in 2-lb. (907g) kits with special packaging upon request.

How to Use
  • Surface preparation: Ensure surfaces are dry and free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding is recommended.
  • Mixing and application: Mix equal parts of resin and hardener by weight or volume. Use within 3 minutes of mixing and allow to harden for 60 to 90 minutes.

Shelf Life
One year from the date of shipment when stored in original, unopened containers at 75°F (24°C).

Health Precautions
  • Contains epoxy resin, which can irritate skin/eyes and cause allergic reactions. Avoid contact and wear protective gear.
  • Avoid inhalation of dust and ingestion of the product.
  • Keep out of reach of children.

Performance Data
  • Uncured Properties: Two-part epoxy adhesive with a strong sulphurous smell when uncured.
  • Cured Mechanical Properties: Translucent solid with a Shore D hardness of 65 and tensile strength of 5,000 psi (34 MPa).
  • Temperature Limits: Continuous use from -40°F to +200°F (-40°C to +93°C) and intermittent use up to +250°F (+121°C).
  • Chemical Resistance: Resistant to hydrocarbons, ketones, alcohols, esters, halocarbons, aqueous salt solutions, dilute acids, and bases.

MIX2FIX® FC-1

(formerly PSI-326 Fast-Cure Epoxy Repair Compound) Product description MIX2FIX FC Translucent Adhesive is a low-odor, two-component, modified epoxy adhesive that cures rapidly at room temperature with exceptional tensile adhesion and peel strength to a wide variety of substrates. Just a few minutes after application it forms a tough bond without the need for clamping. Basic uses MIX2FIX FC Translucent Adhesive may be used as a general-purpose adhesive to bond wood, metal, fiberglass, glass, ceramics and many hard plastics. It forms a strong bond that is tough enough to be filed, drilled, tapped, or sanded after final cure. Benefits • Contains no volatile solvents and does not shrink upon curing. • High peel strength and impact resistance for both industrial and household repairs. • Excellent adhesion to a wide variety of substrates. • Fast-curing. How to use Surface preparation: To achieve optimum adhesion, surfaces should be dry and free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps insure a good bond. Mixing and application: Wear impermeable gloves when mixing or handling uncured product. Mix equal portions of resin (Part A) and hardener (Part B) by weight or volume until uniform. Do not mix more than 8 oz. (224 g.) total at one time, i.e., 4 oz. (112 g.) each of Part A and Part B. Material may become hot during cure. Use within 3 minutes of mixing. Remove excess material before product begins to set. Allow MIX2FIX FC Translucent Adhesive to harden until a strong bond has formed before handling or returning to service, normally 60 to 90 minutes depending on the nature of the application. Product cures faster at higher temperatures and larger volumes. Product cures slower at lower temperatures and in thin sections. Shelf life: One year from date of shipment when stored in original, unopened containers at 75°F (24°C). Health precautions Application limitations • Does not adhere to PTFE, polyethylene or polypropylene. • Becomes very hot during cure; do not mix more than 8 oz. (224 g.) total at one time, i.e. 4 oz. (112 g.) each of Part A and Part B. • See performance data for temperature limits. • Do not apply at temperatures below 41°F (5°C). • Not intended for structural applications. Color Cured color is Translucent. Packaging Available in 2-lb. (907g) kits. Special packaging available upon request. • Contains Epoxy Resin. 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. • KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. For additional health and safety information, consult a Safety Data Sheet.
