PDS-SP 4832-5-0718 1
SP 4832
MONO-COMPONENT EPOXY SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
SP 4832 is a highly thixotropic, gap filling paste. It is a single component epoxy system designed to co-cure at
moderate elevated temperature with Gurit s SE prepregs. The product is designed to be either applied between gel
coat and prepreg in sharp recesses in order to bridge any large gaps between the two, or used as a highly effective
low density core splicing adhesive. The colour is a very dark grey, to tone in with carbon prepregs.
2 PDS-SP 4832-5-0718
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
MIXING & HANDLING
SP 4832 resin is a pre-catalysed, mono-component system and
therefore does not need to be mixed with another component.
Because it is pre-catalysed, care should be taken with storage
and handling. The system requires a temperature of 80 C to
cure fully but some polymerisation, which will thicken the
product and affect its handling properties, can occur at lower
temperatures. To ensure safe use the product should not be
used for a long time or stored at ambient temperatures above
40 C.
For long term storage, the product should be stored at -18 C in
a freezer, but it can be kept at room temperature (20 C) for up
to 20 days without affecting the handling and cured properties
too much. If stored in freezer conditions, the product should be
warmed to ambient temperature before dispensing. It should
be returned to the freezer immediately after use.
APPLICATION
The adhering surfaces should be dry, free of grease, oil, or
mould release or similar material, which would prevent
adhesion of the system. The pre-mixed system is available in
cartridges that fit a standard mastic gun, or it can be applied by
pallet knife or by a suitable dispensing/injection system. The
polymerisation reaction of the system does not generate
significant amounts of heat but in a controlled manner without
runaway exotherm and so large volumes in thicknesses up to
25mm can be applied safely.
SP 4832 is resistant to sag even in thicknesses up to 20-25mm
on a vertical surface. It retains its outstanding thixotropy even
at elevated temperature.
CURING
The system is designed to co-cure with Gurit s SE prepregs /
SPRINT
Materials.
A typical cure cycle is 12 hours at 80 C. Other cure times &
temperatures are possible but no data has been determined for
these alternative cure cycles. Exact times for any particular set
of conditions have not been determined and users should
satisfy themselves that adequate properties for the system are
obtained for the particular combination of mixed volume, cure
temperature, and elapsed time.

HEALTH AND SAFETY
The following points must be considered:
1. Skin contact must be avoided by wearing protective gloves.
Gurit recommends the use of disposable nitrile gloves for most
applications. The use of barrier creams is not recommended,
but to preserve skin condition a moisturising cream should be
used after washing.
2. Overalls or other protective clothing should be worn when
mixing, laminating or sanding. Contaminated work clothes
should be thoroughly cleaned before re-use.
3. Eye protection should be worn if there is a risk of resin,
hardener, solvent or dust entering the eyes. If this occurs flush
the eye with water for 15 minutes, holding the eyelid open, and
seek medical attention.
4. Ensure adequate ventilation in work areas. Respiratory
protection should be worn if there is insufficient ventilation.
Solvent vapours should not be inhaled as they can cause
dizziness, headaches, loss of consciousness and can have long
term health effects.
5. If the skin becomes contaminated, then the area must be
immediately cleansed. The use of resin-removing cleansers is
recommended. To finish, wash with soap and warm water.
The use of solvents on the skin to remove resins etc must be
avoided.
Washing should be part of routine practice:
nbefore eating or drinking
nbefore smoking
nbefore using the lavatory
nafter finishing work
6. The inhalation of sanding dust should be avoided and if it
settles on the skin then it should be washed off. After more
extensive sanding operations a shower/bath and hair wash is
advised.

TRANSPORT & STORAGE
The resin and hardeners should be kept in securely closed containers during transport
and storage. Any accidental spillage should be soaked up with sand, sawdust, cotton
waste or any other absorbent material. The area should then be washed clean (see
appropriate Safety Data Sheet). Adequate long term storage conditions will result in a
shelf life of 2 years for both the resin and hardeners. Storage should be in a warm dry place out of direct sunlight and protected from frost.
The storage temperature should be kept constant between 10 C and 25 C, cyclic fluctuations in temperature can cause crystallization.
Containers should be firmly closed. Hardeners, in particular, will suffer serious degradation if left exposed to air.
For more information on crystallization please refer to the Adhesives section on the Gurit website. (www.gurit.com)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
The product is optimised for use at 15 – 25 C. At lower temperatures the components thicken and may eventually become unworkable. To
ensure accurate mixing and good workability pre-warm the resin & hardener as well as the surfaces to be bonded before use. Maximum relative
humidity for use is 70%.
SURFACE PREPARATION
Before using the product ensure that surfaces to be bonded are clean, dry and dust- free. Prepare all surfaces by abrading with medium grit
paper or other suitable abrasive, remove dust then wipe with acetone.
Metals – requires a chemical pre- treatment to create the best bond. Please contact Gurit for a Guide to Surface Preparation and Pre-treatments.
Polyester or vinylester – ensure laminates are fully cured before bonding, then prepare as above.
Epoxy laminates – it is recommended to use a suitable Peel Ply as the last stage in their manufacture, otherwise prepare as above. Trials may
be required to test Peel Ply suitability.
Ferrocement – etch with 5% solution of hydrochloric acid, wash with fresh water, then dry.
Timber – sand with abrasive paper across grain. Degrease oily timber with a fast evaporating solvent (e.g. acetone). For resinous or gummy
timber, etch with 2% caustic soda solution, wash off with fresh water and dry.
MIXING & HANDLING
When mixing by hand, mix thoroughly for at least one minute, paying particular attention to the sides and bottom of the mixing vessel, to ensure
no streaks remain. Once fully mixed the adhesive should have a uniform colour. Use from pot quickly to maximise resin working life. It is not
advised to use Spabond 440 or Spabond 445 resins with Spabond 400 Fast hardener in thicknesses above 20mm and all systems should not
be left in mixing pots in quantities greater than 100g due to the risk of exotherm.
CARTRIDGE USE
If dispensing product from a two component cartridge, first prime the cartridge by dispensing slowly until both resin and hardener are at the
outlet of the cartridge. Secondly, clean the outlet and attach the mixing head. When starting a new cartridge, dispense and discard a small
amount of adhesive (typically the length of a mix head) prior to applying adhesive to the substrate, in order to ensure thorough mixing of the
system. If using a pneumatic gun, regulate supply air pressure to a maximum of 4 Bar. Relieve the pressure on the cartridge after use.
HEALTH AND SAFETY
The following points must be considered:
1. Skin contact must be avoided by wearing protective gloves. Gurit recommends the use of disposable nitrile gloves for most applications.
The use of barrier creams is not recommended, but to preserve skin condition a moisturising cream should be used after washing.
2. Overalls or other protective clothing should be worn when mixing, laminating or sanding. Contaminated work clothes should be thoroughly
cleaned before re-use.
3. Eye protection should be worn if there is a risk of resin, hardener, solvent or dust entering the eyes. If this occurs flush the eye with water
for 15 minutes, holding the eyelid open, and seek medical attention.
4. Ensure adequate ventilation in work areas. Respiratory protection should be worn if there is insufficient ventilation. Solvent vapours should
not be inhaled as they can cause dizziness, headaches, loss of consciousness and can have long term health effects.
5. If the skin becomes contaminated, then the area must be immediately cleansed. The use of resin- removing cleansers is recommended. To
finish, wash with soap and warm water. The use of solvents on the skin to remove resins etc must be avoided.
Washing should be part of routine practice:
before eating or drinking
before smoking
before using the lavatory
after finishing work
6. The inhalation of sanding dust should be avoided and if it settles on the skin then it should be washed off. After more extensive sanding
operations a shower/bath and hair wash is advised.

POLY-FAIR F26- TDS 1/2
POLY-FAIR F26
Fast Setting Polyester-based Fairing Compound
for the Marine and Tooling Industry
Introduction
Poly-Fair F26 is a water resistant, low-density polyester-based fairing compound. Poly-Fair F26 has good adhesion to
cured fiberreinforced polyester and vinylester laminates. Poly-Fair sands easily, gives a hard finish after a full cure, yet is
not brittle and has good impact strength. Poly-Fair F26 is supplied as R regular version, S summer version.
General Features
Fast setting, with follow-on cheese state
Sufficient time for rasping/filing before a full cure
Tack-free and good feather-edging
Easy to apply and spread
Easy to sand
Excellent adhesion
Low shrinkage
Poly-Fair F26 is a suitable base for all marine finishes such as polyester, urethane and epoxy paints. Poly-Fair F26 is
often covered, prior to painting, with our sprayable polyester-based primer Poly-Fill to hide surface imperfections and to
obtain a high-quality finish. (Please refer to the ATC Poly-Fill Technical Data Sheet). Below the waterline, Poly-Fair and
Poly-Fill must be covered with epoxy bottom paints.
Poly-Fair F26 fairing compound is used primarily in the boat building and fiberglass fabrication industries for fairing and
sanding plugs, molds, one-off custom boats, fairing of lead keels (not if coated with epoxy), fairing of keel to hull joints,
repair of damaged fiberglass parts, and mold rework/modification.
General Properties
Color Light Pink
Density 67-.71g/cc(5.6-5.9 lbs/gallon)
Working temperature range, R , S 16 -30 C(60 -95 F), max. at 70% humidity
Gel time 3-5 minutes
Deformation, compression 6.6% before rupture
Deformation strength 2500 psi
Shrinkage less than 1%
Thixotropy non-sagging
Tack-free surface prevents sandpaper clogging
Good feather-edging after min. thickness of 3mm (1/8 ) and full (24 hour)
cure
Mixing
Before using, thoroughly mix 5 gallon pail using a mechanical mixer. Mixing the liter/quart can by hand is sufficient. DO
NOT REMOVE ANY POLY-FAIR F26 FROM CONTAINER BEFORE MIXIN G.
Surface Preparation
Substrate contamination will inhibit proper bonding and cure of Poly-Fair F26. Prior to application of Poly-Fair, thoroughly
vacuum all surfaces. Do not use an air hose as this only redistributes the dust. This operation must be carried out
between applications of Poly- Fair F26. Using an acetone wipe or solvents on the surface of the Poly-Fair prior to
applying a paint or gelcoat should only be done after a full cure, normally at least after 24 hours at room temperature.
Caution is advised when parts to be faired are subject to sudden temperature change, thus creating condensation on the
surface. Condensation on the bonding surface will inhibit adhesion and the cure, so parts must be stabilized within the
recommended working temperature limits for Poly-Fair F26 well in advance of application. Small, thin fiberglass parts
(low mass parts) will stabilize more rapidly, whereas a massive object like a lead keel may take 24 hours or more to
warm up. Although parts may be warmed outside with space heaters or torches, placing parts to be faired into an area
with a constant temperature well in advance of Poly-Fair application is strongly recommended.

* Arkema Luperox DDM 9 is the MEKP catalyst is in this table. Other MEKP catalysts may vary in their gel time, and
appropriate test under shop conditions are suggested.
Fairing/ Application
Mix small quantities (1 liter/quart) at a time. At a level of 1% by weight (Poly-Fair R version) of catalyst at 21 C (70 F), 5
minutes of trowelling time can be expected. Turn the catalyzed mixture frequently on the mixing board. This will help to
extend the gel time. Apply Poly-Fair F26 in thin layers of at least 1/8 because Poly-Fair F26 needs a certain amount of
mass to cure properly. Knock off high spots with a rasp or file between layers. Sand lightly before applying next layer.
Recommended maximum total thickness .
If additional thickness is required, cover with a layer of Mat/Biax/Woven Roving. Any additional high spots can be taken
off with a rasp after about 15 to 20 minutes, when the compound still has a cheesy consistency. If waiting too long, Poly-
Fair F26 becomes very hard and will be more difficult to remove. To test if Poly-Fair F26 is ready for the rasp, scratch
with your fingernail, it should turn white (or whiter).
A 50 mm (2 ) overlap beyond the surface being worked is recommended to achieve further feather-edging of the
compound, as approxi mately 3 mm (1/8 ) of thickness is necessary for full cure. Sanding can start after approximately
30-40 minutes at room temperature, but a 24 hour cure will assure perfect feather-edging. Gradually reduce the grit size
of the sand paper during sanding from 40 to 80 grit. It is not recommended to wet-sand Poly-Fair F26 because moisture
can inhibit the cure cycle. Poly-Fair F26 can be thinned down with a GP polyester resin by approx 5% for easier
spreading or for drawing it out with a board.
Storage
For maximum shelf life, store Poly-Fair F26 in a cool, dry area, maintaining a temperature between 10 – 20 C (50 –
70 F). Avoid storing in heat or direct sunlight. Always allow Poly-Fair F26 to reach shop temperatures before using.
Periodically invert pails (store upside down) to prolong shelf life.
