Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: What mixing ratio is required for this epoxy?
Mix Part A and Part B at a 2:1 weight ratio. Stir thoroughly for 5–10 minutes for uniform curing.

Q2: How long does it take to cure?
At 25 °C, the resin cures within 1–2 hours, providing adequate time for positioning and bubble removal.

Q3: When should I choose this product over faster-curing epoxies?
This formulation is ideal when you need longer working time for precise alignment, complex samples, or vacuum impregnation.

Q4: Does it provide good edge retention during polishing?
Yes. The Shore D hardness of 78 and good edge retention ensure clean, stable sample boundaries.

Q5: Is the cured resin removable?
Yes. Trojan DSV10 solvent can dissolve the cured epoxy if rework or cleaning is required.

Q6: Which industries typically use this mounting compound?
It is widely used in research institutions, universities, pharmaceutical and biotech labs, and industrial QA/QC facilities for reliable and repeatable sample preparation.
