Uses :
- As a "Catalyst" or "Accelerator" which acts as an end-to-end linking agent.
- Epoxy Resin Accelerator.
- For better penetration and stability BDMA is recommended in place of the DMP-30.
- The quantity of BDMA which is required is 1-1.2 ml.Slight variations of the accelerator (DMP-30 or BDMA) will drastically affect the color and brittleness of the block.
- It is desirable that only the minimum amount of accelerator (BDMA) be used, and should be added just prior to actual use of the resin mixture. A plastic mixture to which accelerator has been added cannot be kept unrefrigerated for more than several hours before it begins to polymerize.
Health Hazard Information :
- Eye Severe eye irritant. Vapours are highly irritating to eyes. Liquid may cause permanent eye damage.
- Skin Severe skin irritant. Vapours are highly irritating to skin. Skin exposure to laboratory rabbits produced tremors and excitement.
- IInhaled Vapours are highly irritating to lungs and upper respiratory tract.
- Chronic Conjunctivitis in the eyes can result from overexposure. Dermatitis of the skin can result from overexposure.
Safe Handling Information :
- Storage And Transport
- Keep container tightly closed. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated, flammable liquid storage area or cabinet.
Packing :
- BDMA is supplied in 25/50/200 kgs. Polydrums.
