Free Form™ Habitat™ Flex FR
Form™Habitat™Flex FR为经过认证的阻燃（E84，A级）级手混合和使用的环氧油灰，用于制造半刚性和非常坚韧的展示品。Habitat™Flex FR不含溶剂和挥发性有机化合物。操作时间为90分钟，室温下固化时间为24小时（73°F / 23°C）。固化后的环氧油灰具有一定的柔韧性、出色的耐冲击性和耐磨性。
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。

特征
- Habitat™FlexFR可以粘合到各种表面，包括发泡、钢和不锈钢、木材、PVC、ABS塑料、混凝土等。
- 用丙烯酸涂料或着色剂上色容易。
- 用于为动物园和游乐园制作完美细致的树枝、葡萄藤、木板和其他主题元素。
- 由于成品是半刚性的，爬行动物和鸟类可以舒适地抓住它们而不影响材料。
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™ Flex FR will cover approximately 71.6 in2 (462 cm2). The following table indicates coverage rate per size of Habitat™ Flex FR packaging.
Habitat™ Flex FR Unit Size Coverage Rate
1-Gallon (20 lb./9.08 kg.) 10 ft2 (0.92 m2)
5-Gallon (100 lb./45.36 kg.) 50 ft2 (4.6 m2)
Drum (1100 lb./498.96 kg.) 525 ft2 (50.6 m2)
How Much Folding Powder™ Do I Need? - Amount of powder recommended per unit of Habitat™ Flex is as follows:
Habitat™ Flex FR Unit Size Folding Powder™ Recommended
1-Gallon (20 lb./9.08 kg.) 1.5 lb. (680 g)
5-Gallon (100 lb./45.36 kg.) 8 lb. (3.6 kg)
Drum (1100 lb./498.96 kg.) 80 lb. (25 kg)
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 - 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).

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.
