MAX GRE THIXO A/B to steel, aluminum, fiberglass-reinforced and other substrates used in fuel cells and tanks.MAX GRE THIXO A/B is 100% solids and does not contain non-reactive components.MAX GRE A/B is resistant to swelling, softening, and loss of adhesion from immersion and direct contact to modern gasoline and diesel fuels.It demonstrates excellent dimensional stability and resistance to impact damage.MAX GRE THIXO A/B is used as a barrier coating for metal and FRP fuel cells. It is also a strong adhesive for bonding and patching metals and FRP fuel tanks. Induced Corrosion Caused By Etahnol Fuel BlendIt provides a high degree of chemical resistance against petroleum-based gasoline, diesel, and ethanol fuel blends (E85).Ethanol gasoline and diesel blends are more susceptible to water absorption due to the high ethanol content in modern fuels.The water molecule readily absorbs acid (H+) ions forming an electrolyte solution. This creates high corrosion activity when the ethanol fuel blend comes in contact with metals. MAX GRE A/B is electrically non-conductive, shielding the metal substrate making the metal less suceptable to coorosion. MAX GRE A/B also is also acid resistant thus reducing oxidation or rusting of the metal tank. Both steel(Fe) or aluminum(Al) tanks metal tanks are more susceptable to oxidation or corrosion Ethanol Corrosion: Beware!Video will open in a new window Using the eBay App? Paste link into a browser window: Surface Preparation For Gas Tank RepairThe MAX GRE THIXO must be in direct contact with the base substrate to yield a strong bond. The substrate must be well prepared to ensure good adhesion. Clean and degrease oily residue left by the gasoline or diesel fuel.Remove old coating mechanical sanding or bead blasting. Use acetone to degrease the surface before applying the MAX GRE resin system. The substrate must be dry and free from any contamination to ensure the repair yields a strong bond that will not peel or delaminate. Simple Test To Determine If The Surface Is Suitable For MAX GRE ApplicationUse this "water-bead" test to quickly check the wettability of the surface.Why Epoxy Coatings Bead-up. Testing & Preparing Surface Before Applying Epoxy Coating Or Adhesive. - YouTube A surface that demonstrates low surface tension prevents the liquid resin to wet-out and cause poor adhesion. Hydrophobic Or Water-Repelling Dynamics In Nature Mixing And ApplicationMAX GRE THIXO A/B is mixed 2:1 by weight or by volume and offers a 35 to 45 minute working time. Use a scale to measure the proper mix ratio accurately, which dramatically affects cured chemical resistance especially when mixing small batch sizes. The mixed consistency is similar to ketchup and is easily applied using a brush or spatula. The ideal coating thickness to create a hermetic barrier is 0.015-inch or 15 mils - the thickness of a business card. MAX GRE THIXO will maintain this applied film thickness on a vertical plain. For thicker applications, allow the first coat to cure for 5 to 6 hours at 75°F and repeat the application directly on top of the previous application. Once the desired thickness is achieved, allow the MAX GRE to fully cure 36 to 48 hours at 25°C to 30°C before use. To use the MAX GRE THIXO as an adhesive, prepare the substrates to its bare condition. Remove any old coating so the MAX GRE THIXO is directly applied and in full contact with the base substrate. Ensure bondline area foot-print is relative to the amount of force that is expected.Mix the proper amount of the resin and curing agent for the application. Bond line control media such as ‘Potter’s Glass Bead’ is typically mixed with the MAX GRE to meter the ideal bondline thickness of 5 to 7 mils. Apply the mixed MAX GRE on both substrates to be bonded and assemble. Apply sufficient clamping force to ensure both substrates are mated. Allow to fully cure for 36 to 48 hours at 25°C to 30°C before use.
