APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

The storage temperature of Copps Backing will greatly effect both the ease of pouring and the curing time. For best results, Copps Backing kits should be stored inside (60 ° to 80 ° F) for at least 24 hours before use.

PREPARATION OF PARTS

1. Be sure that the backing surfaces are dry, free of rust, dirt, grease, and oil
2. Assemble crusher parts in the usual manner.
3. Where bonding to a surface is not required, coat the surface with a light oil or a release agent.
4. Seal all gaps with clay, putty, or plaster to prevent leakage.
5. If the temperature is below 60 ° F preheat the crusher plates with a torch to bring the temperature up to 80° -90° F. Do not pour Copps Backing into parts hotter than 150 ° F.

MIXING AND POURING

1. Mix and pour only 1 kit at a time to prevent Copps Backing from hardening in the container. Do not mix/use partial kits.
2. Open both containers and pour the entire contents of the small can (hardener) into the larger pail (resin).
3. Chuck the mixing paddle in a low speed heavy duty drill and mix the Copps Backing until a uniform color appears, normally 3-4 minutes.
4. Pour immediately into the voids.

Caution: Mix and pour in a well ventilated area. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. If contact does occur, wash skin with soap and water and seek medical help. Read and understand all cautions on can labels and material safety data sheets before using this material.

HANDLING/WORKLIFE

Worklife/pouring time will depend on backing temperature, ambient temperature and temperature of parts. Typical worklife at 72° F is 20-25 minutes. Pouring time and viscosity increase as temperature decreases. With hotter temperatures you have less time to pour. Care should be taken to insure that the entire kit is poured before the working time elapses. In other words, do not mix more than you can pour during the worklife.

The cure time of Copps backing will depend greatly on the temperature of the concaves or mantles. If the temperature is low, heat can be applied to the outside of the concaves or mantles with a torch to bring their temperature up to 80 ° -90 ° F. Do not exceed 150° F. Do not apply the torch directly to the backing.

Use the chart below as a guide for curing time.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Avoid breathing of vapors. Forced local exhaust is recommended to effectively minimize exposure. NIOSH approved, organic vapor respirators and forced exhaust are recommended in confined areas, or when conditions (such as heated polymers, sanding) may cause high vapor concentrations. Do not weld on or burn the backing. Hazardous vapor is released when the backing is burned.

Avoid skin or eye contact with hardener. Wash skin with soap and water if contact occurs. If eye contact occurs flush with water for 15 minutes and obtain medical attention.

Read and understand all cautions on can labels and material safety data sheets before using this material.
