BRUSHBOND SYSTEM-2A/33B is a fast curing, medium-viscosity epoxy system suitable for paint brush manufacturing. It is recommended to use this system after mixing silica filler to achieve desired pourable viscosity in ferrul-to-bristle bonding.
Step 1 : Part A and B should be stirred homogeneously before application.
Step 2 : PourPart-A and Part-B in mixing container as per mixing ratio suggested and stir to achieve homogeneous mixture.
Step 3 : The mixed system should be applied such that the compound is visible at the edge of the ferrule without overpenetration into the bristle. Insufficient material will lead to poor bristle retention.
Step 4 : Cure should be conducted between 20˚C to 40˚C. The system has a limited working time before cure and should be applied immediately following mix. When cured at ambient temperatures, brushes should be stored overnight before conducting finishing operations.
Step 5 : Temperatures below 15˚C give rise to reduced performance. Improved performance can be obtained through post-cure operations.
Fast drying
Medium viscosity
Good solvent and chemical resistance
Shelf Life: Part A & B should be stored away from light & heat. Partly emptied containers should be tightly closed immediately after use to avoid exposure to light.
Storage: "2 year from date of mfg. for both Part A and Part B (Storage Temp - 2-40 °C)"
