AKEMI® Poly-Fibre Filler is a 2-component filler based on unsaturated polyester resins with glass fibers, dissolved in styrene. The product is distinguished by the following qualities:
- - good drawing properties due to supple consistency
- - high filling and non-sag properties
- - repair of small holes (up to a diameter of 3 cm approx.) respectively strengthening of thin sheet metals
- - fast hardening (10-15 minutes)
- - facile grindability and high abrasive properties
- - very good adhesion on metal (iron, steel and aluminum), wood, stone and various plastics (e.g. rigid PVC, polyester), also in case of higher temperatures (up to 100°C)
- - resistant to water, petrol, mineral oils, diluted lye and acids
AKEMI® Poly Fibre Filler is mainly used in body shops, commercial vehicle construction or in the engineering industry for repairing small holes (up to a diameter of 3 cm approx.), or for strengthening of thin sheet metals. Additionally the product is used in model making or other hobbies.
1. - The surface to be treated must be free of rust and dust, dry and slightly roughened. Edges of holes should be dent inside with a hammer. All prior coats both unhardened lacquers and thermoplastic acrylic varnishes must be removed.
2. - Add 1 to 4 g of red hardener paste to 100 g of filler (4 to 5 cm of paste pressed out of the screw tube correspond to 1 g).
3. - Both components are mixed until a homogeneous shade of colour is achieved. The mixture can be worked for about 2 to 8 minutes.
4. - For the treatment of holes, the specified mixture is applied on a polyethylene or polypropylene foil and pressed on the hole which is to be closed. Once hardened the foil can be removed.
