MIXING
Prior to mixing all parts, mix separately part A using a low speed single paddle electric stirrer (300 - 400 rpm)to mix liquid and all the coloured pigment until a uniform colour has been achieved. Add part B to part A and mix part A + B continuously for 30 seconds until a uniform coloured mix has been achieved. When parts A and B have been mixed. Using a pan type revolving or forced action mixer (free fall mixers must not be used).Gradually add part C (aggregate/sand) over a period of 30 seconds. To avoid lumps in mix, don’t dump Part C into parts A + B. Add part D and mix for a further 3 minutes until a smooth consistent mix has been achieved. Over mixing must be avoided to minimise air entrainment. During the final mixing stage, scrape down the sides and bottom of the mixing container with a flat or straight edge trowel at least once to ensure complete mixing. Mix full units only. Mixing time for A+B+C+D = 4 minutes
Note: The carbon fibres (part D) must be added to parts A+B+C immediately after adding part C. Allow parts C+D to mix according to the above mentioned mixing time for all parts to ensure complete distribution of the conductive carbon fibres.
