DESCRIPTION

Dupac-0521 is sealing mastic designed for Tyhoo-Sleeve, which is a thyrotrophic, modified, two-part modified
epoxy adhesive formulated for ease of use as well for a good balance of properties. This two-part adhesive is
formulated to give very high peel strength coupled with excellent shear strength. The flexibility of the cured
adhesive makes it useful for bonding dissimilar substrates.

 Suitable for various transport media and environment, with temperature resistance up to 140℃ and good
aging resistance.

 Suitable for oil and gas transportation pipelines containing H2S, CO2 and other acidic media, and for
chemical transportation pipelines with acidic and alkaline media.

 Has excellent flexibility and strength, adapting to harsh environment of pipe-laying.

GENERAL INFORMATION

This product is not recommended for use in pure oxygen and/or oxygen rich systems and should
not be selected as a sealant for chlorine or other strong oxidizing materials

For safe handling information on this product, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Mixing:
 When mixing by hand, combine Part A (Resin) and Part B (Hardener) in the correct ratio and mix
thoroughly until the color and consistency are uniform.
 Mixing the adhesive just prior to use is recommended. The temperature of the separate
components prior to mixing is not critical but they should be close to room temperature.
 Heat buildup during and after mixing is normal. To reduce the likelihood of exothermic reaction
or excessive heat buildup mix less than 4500 grams at a time. Mixing smaller amounts will
minimize heat buildup.
 When mixing using a cartridge, place cartridge in proper dispenser. To begin using a new
cartridge remove the cap and dispense a small amount of adhesive making sure both parts A & B
are extruding. Attach nozzle and dispense approximately 2.5 to 5.0 cm before applying onto the
part to be bonded. Partially used cartridges should be stored with the mixing nozzle attached.
To reuse remove and discard the old nozzle attach the new nozzle and begin dispensing.
Applying:
 Bonding surfaces should be clean dry and free of contamination
 Once the adhesive is applied the bonded parts should be held in contact until the part has
developed handling strength. Fixturing can be removed at this point. Since the full bond
strength has not yet been attained load application should be small at this time
Cure:
 Complete cure is obtained after 72 hours @ 25℃ Dupac-0521 can also be fully cured with heat
such as; 6 to 8 hours at a maximum temperature of 149 ℃.
 After 24 hours approximately 90% of full cure properties are attained at room temperature.
 Other times and temperatures (149 ℃ is a suggested maximum) can be used depending on
the application.
 Heat cures can be modified to achieve a desired degree of cure from handling strength to full
cure.

Clean up:
 It is important to clean up excess adhesive from the work area and application equipment
before it hardens.
 Denatured alcohol and many common industrial solvents are suitable for re loving uncured
adhesive.
Storage:
 Store product in the unopened container in a dry location. Storage information may be indicated
on the product container labeling.
 Optimal Storage: 8℃ to 21℃. Storage below 8℃ or greater than 28℃can adversely affect
product properties Material removed from containers may be contaminated during use. Do not
return product to the original container. TYHOO Corporation cannot assume responsibility for
product which has been contaminated or stored under conditions other than those previously
