Hudco Formula 5000

Ballistic Grade Aramid Fiber Reinforced
Wear Compound

Outlasts Exotic Metals, Urethanes, Rubber and similar wear-resistant materials

HUDCO Formula 5000 combines high-strength epoxy resins with a dense loading of wear-resistant alumina and silicon carbide ceramic aggregate. Used as an easy- to-apply coating, HUDCO Formula 5000 is a cost-effective alternative to the installation of wear-resistant ceramic tile. Repairs to worn equipment made with Formula 5000 provide the advantage of a prolonged wear life far beyond that of the original part.

Reinfoced with Ballistic Grade Aramid Fiber

After 12 years of unequaled performance, HUDCO in 1994 reformulated Formula 5000 to include ballistic grade aramid fiber reinforcement in the polymer matrix. The addition of ballistic grade aramid fiber, one of the toughest materials in existence, has significantly improved the phenomenal properties of HUDCO Formula 5000. The unique concept of using ballistic grade aramid fiber to reinforce the matrix of HUDCO Formula 5000 demonstrates HUDCO's commitment to world class technology.

Instructions:

Surface Preparation:
Roughen surface by grinding or sandblasting (3-5 mil surface profile). Surface must be completely dry with a minimum surface temperature of 75'F.

Mixing:
Mix 4 part of resin to 1 part of hardener by weight. Kits are supplied in the correct ratio. Ensure that the sides of the mixing container are scraped into the mixture. Mix several minutes, until consistent color is achieved.

Application:
Apply product to prepared surface and use supplied tools to achieve desired finish.

Curing:
At 75°F, product will gel in 30 min. Initial cure will occur in 3 hours with final cure in 24 hours.

Safety Precautions:

Industrial use only. Keep away from children.

Always use in well ventilated areas. Prolonged exposure to resin or hardener may cause sensitization and/or dermatitis. If eye contact occurs, irrigate promptly with clean water for 15 minutes and call physician. Wash with soap and water any areas of skin which come in contact with product. In the case of inhalation, remove to fresh air and provide oxygen if necessary. If ingestion should occur, call a physician at once.
