Instructions for use
Mixing
The convenient one to one mix makes QSi鈥檚 QGels very easy to mix. Mix
equally and thoroughly by weight or volume. Once the components are mixed the curing
process begins. The pot life of the mixed material is shown under typical properties.
Fast curing gels (less than 30 minutes pot life) should be dispensed utilizing automated
mix and dispense equipment.
De-aeration
Air trapped during mixing should be removed to eliminate voids in the cured
product. Vacuum de-airing may be necessary to completely remove all entrapped air
bubbles. To insure proper de-airing, subject the mixed material to 29 inches of mercury.
Storage and shelf life
QGels should be stored in the original unopened container at 25C (77F). They
will remain useful for a period of 12 months if stored under those conditions.
