**This epoxy resin system requires a heat post cure to achieve a complete cure. Using solar heat, infrared radiant heat, or the use of a processing oven can be used to post cure the resin system.
The MAX HTE A/B resin system will only achieve partial cure (B-Stage) at room temperature and will require exposure to elevated temperature for full cure state. Please review the cure schedule in the properties table for more curing details.

DESCRIPTION

MAX HTE A/B is a two-part epoxy based system especially formulated to provide structural strength at temperatures of up to 200oC or 390oF under pressure or load. It is formulated as an impregnating resin for fiberglass, Carbon Fiber, Kevlar, Spectra Fiber and other specialty materials that require heat performance.
At room temperature performance, MAX HTE exhibits exceptional toughness and other mechanical properties such as adhesion, compressive strength and flexural modulus. MAX HTE also provides excellent chemical and water resistance.
MAX HTE A/B can also be utilized as an adhesive, encapsulant or potting compound, tooling resin for high temperature applications.
Fillers and colorants can be added to modify it for a specific use.
MAX HTE provides a long pot life at room temperature suitable vacuum assisted resin transfer molding or VARTM, fiber pultrusion, pre-impregnation process with a relatively short heat cure time. It is specially designed to withstand continuous high temperature service, high impact resistance and exposure to harsh conditions.
MAX HTE A/B is 100 % solids, low odor and toxicity and does not contain
Ozone Depleting Chemicals (ODC).
When mixed and allowed to gel at room temperature, MAX HTE will harden to a glass-like consistency and will slightly re-flow when exposed to heat. It will require a short heat cure develop a stronger durability or handling strength. (1 Hour minimum at 80oC or 55oC for 2 Hours Minimum) MAX HTE will fully cure when the part is exposed to the operating temperature or by curing at the specified cure schedule as noted below. It will not reach 100% cure without exposure heat post cure.If an oven is not available, allowing the MAX HTE to cure under solar heat or by radiant infrared heat for at least 3 hours will provide enough cure advancement for it to be handled without shattering.
Exposing the assemble part to direct solar heat (sun exposure) for a longer period will provide enough heat cure for the part to be handled. It will require a higher temperature exposure to attain full cure. The initial heat exposure will prevent the resin from liquefaction or re-flow and allow enough physical strength for gentle handling.
