Why is a 30-40 minute “induction” or waiting period recommended after mixing KLASS KOTE components A & B, but before applying?
The waiting or induction period, is used to give the two components (Part-A Epoxy & Part-B Catalyst) time to “react” to each other, prior to bonding/reacting with the substrate. This will produce the best dried film after cure. We also recommend the induction period to help avoid “under mixing”. For the best possible results, be sure to allow the two mixed components to induct for 30-40 minutes after mixing but before thinning and application.
