60 Adhesive Kit Epoxy siloxane electrically conductive adhesive for bonding fiberglass pipe and fittings
Description The PSX-60 epoxy adhesive kit contains an adhesive resin, hardener, mixing spatula, rubber gloves, and assembly instructions. The adhesive resin is a red paste with sand filler. The adhesive hardener is a white paste. The mixed adhesive color is red. PSX-60 is a two-part epoxy siloxane adhesive formulated for permanently bonding Quick-Lock® or taper-taper joints on fiberglass-reinforced pipe and fittings. PSX-60 can be used to connect most epoxy, vinyl ester and phenolic piping systems.
Instructions Prior to handling, read all Toxicity, Precaution and First Aid information below. Before mixing the adhesive, ensure that the bonding surfaces are correctly prepared and are clean and dry. Open the resin and hardener containers. Using the mixing spatula, scrape all of the hardener into the resin container. Mix the resin and the hardener with the spatula for at least 60 seconds . Scrape the sides, bottom and lid of the resin container occasionally to get all of the hardener into the mix. Never attempt to split a kit or heat the hardener. The resin and the hardener have been packaged at the correct ratio for optimum adhesive performance. Apply a uniform coat of the mixed adhesive to both bonding surfaces and draw the parts firmly together. Detailed joint assembly instructions may be found in Quick-Lock Installation Instruc- tions, and Bell x Spigot Installation Instructions.
Pot Life and For installations with service temperatures below 180°F (82°C) and pressures below 150 psi Cure Time (1.03 MPa), PSX-60 bonds can be put into service with ambient temperature cures as indicated in the table (See page 2 of this section.). However, it is highly recommended that an external heat source be used to force cure the adhesive. The adhesive and bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70°F (21°C) prior to mixing and applying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an NOV Fiber Glass Systems approved heating blanket. The table also indicates the pot life (working time) of the adhesive atvarious temperatures . The pot life is the time from the initial mixing of the resin and hardener until the adhesive in the container begins to thicken and is no longer usable.
For systems with anticipated service temperatures above ·180°F (82°C) or operating pressures over 150 psi (1.03 MPa), or when installing any system at ambient temperatures below 40°F (5°C), the adhesive joint must be cured with an external heat source . A heat cure using an NOV Fiber Glass Systems approved electric heating blanket is recommended. The heat cure may be applied at any time after the bond is made and before theline is tested or put into service. The heat may be applied immediately after making the bond while the adhesive is still liquid or after it has gelled to a solid.
Minimum cure times of 30 minutes for 1 through 6 inch pipe and 45 minutes for 8 through 16 inch lines are recommended. Even after the adhesive has solidified at ambient temperatures, heat curing will enhance ' the chemical cross-linking of the adhesive, increasing the strength , temperature resistance and corrosion resistance of the adhesive. When used in fire protec- tion service all joints must be force-cured with an external heat source regardless of ambient temperature.

The adhesive and the bonding surfaces should be warmed to 70'F (21'C) before mixing and applying the adhesive. Adhesive may be force cured using an approved electric heating blanket when using adhesive at ambient temperatures above 100'F (38'C), make provisions to keep adhesive cool to extend pot life. (2) Times indicate when cure is sufficient to permit moving the bonded joint. The minimum joint cure time must elapse prior to hydro testing.

Storage Do not store kits in areas above 100°F (38°C) or below 32°F (O°C) , or in the direct sunlight in warm weather. In cold weather warm the resin to at least 70°F (21°C) but not above 100°F (38°C) to permit good mixing and easier application. Do not use adhesive past its expiration date.
Toxicity and Hardener: The hardener is irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. It is toxic orally and may cause Precautions sensitization. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapors . Wear rubber gloves, protective apron and NIOSH approved respirator. Wash thoroughly after handling.
Resin: The resin may be mildly irritating to skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Avoid contact with eyes, skin or clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. Wear rubber gloves and eye protection. Wash thoroughly after handling.
