Technovit EPOX is an epoxy resin composed of the 'Technovit Epox resin' component and two different hardener components. Fast curing Technovit Epox hardener with shorter curing time or regular Technovit Epox hardener with longer curing time. When selecting the correct hardener composition, the curing time can be customized according to specific applications. The placement time is about one hour, especially when used under vacuum, to ensure its full penetration into the empty material.

material properties

This system can be used for all embedding tasks, and it is particularly recommended for materials with pores, such as surfaces that are sprayed and corroded and should be embedded in vacuum. Vacuum injection can ensure the penetration of epoxy resin into all holes and curves. Therefore, the sample is fixed from the inside. *The effectiveness is closely related to the recommended blending ratio. The Technovit EPOX components should be blended in a ratio of 2:1 (resin: hardener) and then poured. They will probably cure within 10 to 18 hours, depending on the curing ingredients used. The curing time can be shortened or extended by storing the sample in a constant temperature chamber, cold water bath, or refrigerator.
