RECOMMENDED APPLICATION PROCEDURE
  • AFCIFIX should be applied with a brush or knife to each joint face and the two joints pressed firmly together.
  • To speed up jointing/sealing and to get a good joint /seal allow the two joint faces to become tacky before pressing the two faces together.
  • Wherever possible the joints may be put together by weights or clamps, without damaging the cores.
 
FUNCTIONS & ADVANTAGES
 
Consistent Advantages:
  • AFCIFIX is ready to use quick air drying adhesive/ sealing paste.
  • Good air setting properties.
  • Setting takes place within 10-12 minutes at faster rate.
  • It does not shrink, crack, peel back or chip off on application.
  • Applications of dressings over AFCIFIX joints/sealing have no ill effects.
  • It is moisture resistant, as it does not contain starch, dextrine or molasses.
  • It develops a strong bond/ seal and does not part at any stage of different loads.
Use Water based-AFCICOAT or Solvent based AFCIMOL range of coatings for excellent casting surface finish.
 
PRECAUTIONS
  • AFCIFIX should not be applied to hot core or mould surfaces as it will get dried rapidly and loose its adhesive/ sealing properties.
  • Close the lid/ cap of the container soon after use to avoid drying on exposure & external contamination.
