Processing
The material, processing and mould temperature must be from 18 to 25°C.
The B component Biresin® U1434 must be mixed thoroughly before use.
It is possible to add Biresin® Farbpaste to the B component before processing if required.
Pay attention to dry conditions and dry mould surfaces while processing.
The resin and hardener components are to be mixed thoroughly and poured immediately into previously
released moulds (e.g. with Sika® Liquid Wax-815 resp. Sika® Pasty Wax-818; for more information see
product data sheet).
Porous surfaces (wood, gypsum) have to be well sealed before processing.
Storage
Minimum shelf life is 12 month under room conditions (18 - 25°C), when stored in original un-opened
containers.
After prolonged storage at low temperature, crystallisation of components may occur. This is easily removed
by warming up for a sufficient time to a maximum of 70°C. Allow to cool to room temperature before use.
Containers must be closed tightly immediately after use to prevent moisture ingress. The residual material
needs to be used up as soon as possible.
