Flex Form 70 (K-170)
Semi-Rigid Epoxy Architectural Formliner/Decorative Molding Compound
- Low Odor
- VOC Free
- 100% Solids/Solvent Free
- Simple Mix Ratio (1-1)
- Moisture Insensitive
- Reduced Health Hazard
FLEX FORM 70 is a 100% solids, self-leveling, primerless, odorless epoxy formliner/ molding compound. The product cures to a semi-rigid rubber-like resiliency which provides excellent toughness and mold life. The low viscosity of FLEX FORM 70 allows architectural pre-casters to design and form the most intricate patterns.

MIXING
Mix the resin (Part A) and the hardener (Part B) for 2-3 minutes with a slow speed (500 rpm or less) drill and Jiffy mixer (mixing paddle). If you need less than a full kit, do not attempt to “eyeball” the mixture. Accurately measure the resin (1 part) and hardener (1 part) by volume.
FLEX FORM 70 has a work life of 40 minutes at 72 °F.
APPLICATION
Temperature below 50 °F will inhibit the cure, resulting in a sticky surface. The material should be stored at 60-90 °F prior to use.
Proper mold preparation must be done to insure a successful cast. Wood or porous templates must be sealed before use. Copps Armorgard 505 Form Coating is recommended to seal the templates. Apply a quality wax to all surfaces of the pattern. Polish the wax to a high gloss (hardening the surface). Apply a high quality mold release agent. Immediately pour the FLEX FORM 70 into the pattern.
