Temperature
Will cure at temperatures as low as 40oF(4oC), providing the temperature will be 40oF and rising during the next 72 hours. Epoxy materials should be stored at least 24 hours prior to use at 80oF(26oC),or higher. Epoxies stored below 60oF(15oC),will cause the epoxy to thicken substantially, making it difficult to properly blend the two materials and obtain a proper mating of resin and hardener. Protect from inclement weather and freezing. If product temperature falls below 50oF(10oC), it is recommended that a product temperature of 80oF(26oC) be obtained prior to using. Store dry at 40oF(4oC) – 100oF(38Co). Condition to 70oF(26Co) – 85oF(29oC) before using.

CAUTION -FOR INDUSTRIAL USE ONLY:
FORTRESS FIBER MATRIX epoxies contain alkaline amines. Strong sensitizer MAY CAUSE SKIN SENSITIZATION or allergic response ranging from a mild wheezing to a severe asthmatic type attack. Avoid contact with skin or eyes. IN CASE OF CONTACT immediately wash skin with soap and water. Flush eyes with water and obtain medical attention. Wear protective clothing, goggles and barrier cream on all exposed skin.Provide adequate ventilation.
