PT1414 A/B Abrasion Resistant Epoxy Surface Coat
DESCRIPTION
PT1414 is a very hard and durable surface coat and casting material for use where high abrasion resistance is desirable. Blue in color, PT1414 is filled with silicon carbide, which imparts outstanding wear resistance to the cured product. PT1414 has extremely high resistance to wear and abrasion. The fully cured surface is very hard and will dull standard machine tools much more rapidly than typical filled epoxies. The mixed viscosity of PT1414 allows easy application by brush as a surface coat that will hang on a vertical surface. It can also be used to cast die faces up to ½ inch thick. PT1414 is also an excellent adhesive that bonds well to a variety of metallic and composite surfaces. PT1414 has been used extensively for foundry patterns and coreboxes, tracer patterns, die faces, fixtures and a variety of adhesive bonding applications.

HANDLING & CURING
PT1414 A/B will cure completely at room temperature. Typical surface
coat applications or castings may be put into service after 24 hours. If
shorter cure time is required, allow to gel at room temperature,
followed by an oven cure of 2-4 hours at 150°F – 165°F. Heat curing may
increase shrinkage.

SAFETY & HANDLING
PTM&W epoxy products are made from raw materials carefully chosen to minimize or even eliminate toxic chemicals, and therefore offer the user high performance products with minimum hazard potential when properly used. Generally, the PTM&W epoxy resins and hardeners will present no handling problems if users exercise care to protect the skin and eyes, and if good ventilation is provided in the work areas. However, all epoxy resins and hardeners can be irritating to the skin, and prolonged contact may result in sensitization; and breathing of mist or vapors may cause allergenic respiratory reactions, especially in highly sensitive individuals. As such, avoid contact with eyes and skin, and avoid breathing vapors. Wear protective rubber apron, clothing, gloves, face shield or other items are required to prevent contact with the skin. In case of skin contact, immediately wash with soap and water, followed by a rinse of the area with vinegar, and then a further wash with soap and water. The vinegar will neutralize the hardener and lessen the chances of long term effects. Use goggles, a face shield, safety glasses or other items as required to prevent contact with the eyes. If material gets into the eyes, immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician. Generally, keep the work area as uncluttered and clean as possible, and clean up any minor spills immediately to prevent accidental skin contact at a later time. Keep tools clean and properly stored. Dispose of trash and empty containers properly. Do not use any of these types of products until Material Safety Data Sheets have been read and understood.
