WEICON WR is suitable for areas where metal parts are exposed to strong wear due to friction. For example, the epoxy resin system can be used for repairs and recasting of shafts, for pouring out bearings as well as cutting and punching tools, for the production of casting and profile milling models as well as drawing moulds, for the underpouring of machines and foundations and as wear-resistant base layer before the final coating with WEICON Ceramic BL. It can be used in mechanical engineering, toolmaking, model and mould making as well as many other areas.
For processing, we recommend an ambient temperature of 20°C (68°C) at less than 85% relative humidity. The highest adhesive strength is achieved when the parts to be processed are heated to >35°C (>95°F) before application. For a thin pre-coat, work WEICON WR intensively into the surface in crosswise layers using the Contour Spatula Flexy or a paint brush to achieve maximum adhesion. By means of this technique, the epoxy resin penetrates well into all cracks and roughness depths. Afterwards, further applications can be carried out straight away, until the desired layer thickness is reached. Make sure that the epoxy resin is applied evenly and without air bubbles.
