Epoxy Hardener (Low-Viscosity)
What This Product Is
The hardener (curing agent) that pairs with our low-viscosity epoxy resin. Mixed with the resin at the specified ratio, it cures the mixture at room temperature into a clear, hard castable mount. It is formulated to match the resin's low viscosity and penetration.
Intended Use in Metallography
Used with the epoxy resin at the mounting step for room-temperature castable mounting. Selected whenever the low-viscosity epoxy resin is used — the two are a matched system.
Typical Applications
- Cold mounting of fragile, porous, or heat-sensitive specimens
- Vacuum impregnation of cracks and pores
- Petrographic and electronics mounting (with the resin)
When This Product Is NOT Ideal
- On its own — the hardener is used only as part of the two-part epoxy system
Where This Fits in the Preparation Process
- Mixed with the epoxy resin at the mounting step , after sectioning and before grinding
Key Characteristics
- Type: Curing agent (hardener) for low-viscosity castable epoxy
- Use: Mixed with epoxy resin at the specified ratio
