product is typically used in applications with an operating range Technical Tips for Working With Epoxies
of -30 °C to +121 °C. Working time and cure depends on temperature and mass:
● The higher the temperature, the faster the cure.
NSF International ● The larger the mass of material, the faster the cure.
