Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™
FreeForm®Habitat®FireSafe®高密度环氧树脂雕刻油灰，具有阻燃等级（E84，A级）。Habitat®FireSafety®不含溶剂和VOC。在室温下（73°F / 23°C），操作时间为90分钟，固化时间为16小时。环氧树脂油灰固化成非常坚硬、耐火、耐热的成品，易于涂漆。Habitat®FireSafe不含任何致癌物质（致癌剂）。
特征
FreeForm®Habitat®FireSafe®适用于室内和室外主题应用和普通雕刻。被认证为“水族馆安全”，被水族馆和动物园用来制作超逼真的树木、藤蔓、岩石、珊瑚和其他展示元素。
与Habitat®折叠粉一起使用 -将折叠粉添加到环氧树脂油灰中，使其增稠并减少垂直表面使用时的下垂。折叠粉还可以减少粘性，使环氧油灰更易于使用。环氧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。表面可以用酒精或水处理平滑。新的Habitat®FireSafe®可以粘合到固化的Habitat®FireSafe®上，而不分层。
Habitat®FireSafe®不会融化发泡，可以用作EPS发泡涂层。FreeForm®Habitat®FireSafety®也是一种出色的修补粘合剂，可与自身、PVC，、lexiglas®（丙烯酸）、木材、多种金属、塑料和泡沫永久粘合。
说明
Safety – Use in a well-ventilated area (“room size” ventilation). Generally, if you use any epoxy system on a regular basis, wearing a NIOSH approved respirator is advised. Wear safety glasses, long sleeves and rubber gloves to minimize skin contact. Wear nitrile or vinyl gloves only.
Rate Of Coverage - Assuming a thickness of 0.25 in. (6.3 mm), 1 lb. (454 g) of Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ will cover approximately 71.6 in2 (462 cm2).
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 – For releasing epoxy from non-porous surfaces such as resin, metal, glass etc., use Ease Release™ 200 or 205 (available from Smooth-On) to prevent adhesion.
Measuring - Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ 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 gloves when mixing this material, wearing vinyl gloves reduces inhibition risk. First, thoroughly coat gloves with folding powder to prevent sticking. Knead parts A+B together while 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).

Apply by gloved hand to horizontal, vertical or inverted surface. Important; pot life and cure time are reduced with elevated temperatures.
Stamp, Sculpt or Mold - Once in place, putty can be stamped using a rubber stamp (Rebound™ 25 silicone). Apply alcohol to stamp detail before using for precise detail and to keep stamp clean. Sculpt using gloved hands or tools. Putty can also be pressed into a silicone rubber mold to reproduce detail.
Smoothing Surface – Epoxy surface can be smoothed with water or isopropyl alcohol. Option: cover putty surface with clear plastic food wrap and smooth or sculpt with hand or tool. Leave wrap in place until material cures and remove. Cured surface will have a high gloss finish.
Curing and Heat Resistance – Habitat™ Fire Safe™ will cure in 16 hours at room temperature. Elevated heat will cure epoxy faster. At an ambient temperature of 150°F/60°C, the material will cure in as little as 30 minutes. A heat gun may also be used, as long as the surface temperature of the Habitat™ does not exceed 212°F/100°C. Putty cured at room temperature with a minimum thickness of ½” (1.27 cm) will resist temperatures up to 165°F/74°C.
Post Curing - For higher heat resistance, cured Habitat™ Fire Safe can be heat post-cured in a dedicated industrial oven. Cure at 175°F/80°C for two hours, followed by three hours at 212°F/100°C. Thin sections may need to be supported during post curing. Allow material to cool to room temperature before use.
Machining – Cured castings are rigid and durable. They resist moisture, moderate heat, solvents, dilute acids and can be machined, primed/painted or bonded to other surfaces (any release agent must be removed). If machining cured epoxy, wear dust mask or other apparatus to prevent inhalation of residual particles.
Painting – For outdoor display, cured Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe™ can be primed and then painted with acrylic enamel paints. Let paint fully dry before putting part into service.
Removing Uncured Free Form™ Habitat™ Fire Safe - 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.
