CompBond 6102 vs. Competitors:

• CompBond 6102 outperforms competitive adhesive even at a thinner bond line thickness
• The lower viscosity of Araldite 9102 helps to ensure even and full coverage across the entire surface area
• The thick consistency of competing products results in peaks/valleys under the material, the only way to truly eliminate that would be to add additional clamp pressure over the bonded surface
• CompBond 6102 showed no samples with delamination after testing
• Meets flame, smoke, and toxicity requirements for passenger rail
• Improved performance
• Cost savings/process improvements

Instructions for Panel Lamination:

• Use the coverage chart to estimate the amount of resin and hardener needed. Resin and hardener should be mixed at a ratio of 2:1 by volume
• Pour into outside mixing bucket packaging
  • Note: If using less than the full volume use a graduated beaker to measure the desired volume (2 parts Resin to 1 part Hardener). Use a dedicated beaker for resin and a dedicated beaker for hardener to avoid cross-contamination
• Use the provided mixer or paddle to gently mix the materials until the product looks uniform with no streaking. Make sure to scrape the sides of the container during mixing
• Pour the desired amount on the honeycomb side and use a 1/16″ or 1/32″ notched trowel to spread the material on the workpiece. Try to put the notches in straight lines in 1 direction. Remove excess.
• Apply the porcelain/stone panel material on top of the honeycomb panel and clamp in place. Use a vibrational tool on the surface to improve contact and smooth out ridges in the adhesive. Apply weights and tighten clamps to reduce/eliminate gaps between the porcelain and the honeycomb
• The adhesive has an 80-minute working time at 70° F. You should be able to move the parts after 2-3 hours at 70° F. Full cure is 24 hours. The product may feel tacky at 2-3 hours but it has achieved some handling strength sufficient to move the parts and prep for the next fabrication steps
• Clean the trowel and any reusable tools with acetone while the adhesive is still wet
• For best results, keep the work area and work surfaces as close to room temperature as possible
