Free Form™ Habitat™ Flex FR
使用或不使用Habitat™FoldingPowder™ - 混合相同份数的A+ B组份。为了增稠，将Folding Powder™添加到环氧油灰中。Folding Powder™可降低粘性并使环氧油灰更易于使用。油灰可以用硅胶模具压印，在大的表面区域上压印具有复杂细节的重复图案。油灰表面可以用酒精或水处理平滑。新的NewHabitat™Flex FR可与固化的Habitat™Flex FR粘合而不会分层。

Preparation – Materials should be stored and used at room temperature (73°F/23°C). This product has a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible. Mixing should be done in a well-ventilated area. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize contamination risk. Before mixing materials, apply Folding Powder™ to work surface in a 1/4” (6.3 mm) layer. Powder gloves with Folding Powder™ to eliminate sticking. Because no two applications are quite the same, a small test application to determine suitability for your project is recommended if performance of this material is in question.
Applying A Release Agent – This product is adhesive and will bond to many surfaces. Where adhesion is not desired, a thorough application of Ease Release™ 200 release agent (available from Smooth-On) is recommended.
Measuring - Free Form™ Habitat™ Flex FR comes as two parts. Dispense equal amounts of Part A and Part B. These products have a limited shelf life and should be used as soon as possible.
Mixing - This product is mixed by hand. You must wear vinyl or nitrile gloves when mixing. Without Folding Powder - measure equal amounts of A and B and stir with a flat edge, stiff paddle until all color streaks disappear (uniform color). With Folding Powder - measure equal amounts of A and B onto flat surface of large plastic bin. Knead parts together while blending Folding Powder™ into mixture. The amount of powder to add depends on desired working consistency. The more powder you add, the thicker the mixture becomes. Fold mixture into itself repeatedly until desired consistency is attained (3-5 minutes or a minimum of 20 folds).
CURING - Habitat™ Flex FR can be handled after 24 hours at room temperature. Full physical properties are reached in 7 days. In most cases, material will have a slight “tack” for up to 48 hours.
Painting – Cured Free Form™ Habitat™ Flex FR can be primed and then painted with acrylic enamel paints. Let paint fully dry before putting part into service.
Removing Uncured Free Form™ Habitat™ Flex FR - Remove as much uncured material from the surface as possible. Clean any residue with soap and water. Optional - Use E-POX-EE KLEENER™ available from Smooth-On.
