INTRODUCTION
Spabond 4 45 is a toughened, high performance adhesive system ideal for bonding large structures where
substrate surfaces have uneven geometry. Developed from the proven performance of its predecessors, whilst
sharing the same hardener components as Spabond 435 and 440 to deliver a complete adhesive system.
The product has a thick, paste-like consistency, and can be applied without sag in thicknesses of over 30mm at 15 C, making
it ideal where large, uneven vertical gluelines are required. Available with a choice of two hardeners, improved cure
progression chemistry eliminates the need for an extra-slow hardener.
The unique formulation offers improved health & safety through the careful selection of low toxicity raw materials.
The product has a 3 :1 mix ratio by volume. To aid mixing, the hardener components are pigmented to give visual indication
of mix quality . A black resin option is also available, which is useful for improving the cosmetic appearance of bondlines
involving exposed carbon composites.
Spabond 445 is available in cartridges and straight-sided pails & drums for machine mixing/dispense.

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.

assure maximum bond strength, surfaces must be mated together within the specified working time,
and all clamps affixed within that time. Use sufficient material to ensure that the joint is completely
filled when parts are mated and clamped. Avoid over clamping parts, which may cause a dry joint or
a joint starved of adhesive. All adhesive application, part positioning, fixturing, and clamping should
occur before the working time of the adhesive has expired. After the indicated working time, parts
must remain undisturbed until the fixture time is completed. Components bonded, adhesive, and
shop temperature can have a significant effect on the work and fixture time of the adhesive.
Application of BD8110 adhesive at temperatures between 65 F and 85 F (18 C and 30 C) will ensure
proper cure. Temperatures below 65 F (18 C) will slow cure and fixture speed. BD8110 adhesives
will still react, but will take longer. Temperatures above 85 F (18 C and 30 C) will increase cure and
fixture speeds, and there s a risk that the adhesive will be hardened or too thick to bond materials.
The viscosities of BD8110 adhesives are affected by temperature.
NOTE: Because of the curing features of BD8110 adhesives, large amounts of heat are generated
when large masses of material are mixed at one time. The heat generated by the exotherm resulting
from mixing large amounts of adhesive can result in a boiling of the monomer in the adhesive (methyl
methacrylate), resulting in the release of trapped air, steam and volatile gasses. To prevent this, use
only enough material as needed for use within the working time for the product, and confine the gap
or spread out the material to no more than .50 inches.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
The shelf life of BD8110 is nine (9) months from the date of manufacture based upon continuous
storage at room temperature (77 F or 25 C). Storage of BD8110 adhesives in refrigerated
compartments will extend the shelf life even more. Do not store BD8110 adhesive or any other
adhesives in a refrigerator which has food or lunch products in them. Be sure to bring BD8110
adhesives to room temperature for 24 hours before use, otherwise longer cure and fixture times may
be expected. Long-term storage at temperatures above room temperature will shorten the shelf life of
BD8110 adhesives considerably. Storage at temperatures above 100 F or 38 C could shorten the
shelf life to less than one month. BD8110 adhesives contain no water, so freezing of the adhesive for
short periods is permissible, but is not encouraged.
