Product - MR. JO Tecbond – CLR30

Description

Mr. JO Tecbond – CLR30 is a two component thick epoxy adhesive. Also, it works well for automotive and marine use. You can mix this two-component adhesive with a 100 PHR ratio. It has a 30 minutes pot life, so you can apply it easily and precisely. The adhesive is crystal clear and gives clean and shiny finish. Also, it bonds strongly to non porous surfaces like metal, glass, stone, and plastic. Its versatile design handles tough environments and demanding tasks. This makes it a reliable choice for industrial and general applications.

• Color :- Clear
• Pot life :- @25'C 25-35 mins
• Mixing Ratio :- 100:100 PBW
• Mixture consistency :- Clear think flowable liquid
• Optics :- Transparent

• Artifacts
• Artificial jewelry
• Transparent joints

• The mixture should be applied on a clean, rough and dry surface. This should be achieved by suitable mechanical and chemical means such as sandblasting Wire brushing or chemical etching. Suitable degreasing agent should be used to remove any grease, or oil traces on the surface.

• Use Part A & Part B in ratio 100:100 pbw. Mix the two components in small batches thoroughly for at least 2minutes. Apply the mix directly or using proper spatula to the pretreated surfaces.
• The joint components should be assembled as soon as the adhesive has been applied.
• Allow the material to cure for at least 24 hours before putting to use.

A1. These are cost-effective, clear epoxy adhesives designed for applications where transparency, neat bonding, and aesthetics matter. They're commonly used in:

• Furniture & carpentry joints
• Laminated glass or acrylic work
• Decorative bonding
• Crafts and visible fixings

General-purpose clear bonding needs

A2. All three adhesives have:

• A 1:1 mix ratio (100:100 by weight)
• A clear, transparent cure The difference is in working time (pot life):
• CLR60 → ~60 minutes pot life
• CLR40 → ~40 minutes
• CLR30 → ~30 minutes

Choose based on application size and speed of assembly.

A3. Unlike most standard epoxies that cure yellow or opaque, the CLR range cures to a clear, nearly invisible finish, making them ideal when adhesive lines should not be seen.

• CLR30 is ideal for quick fixes and small-scale bonding where fast handling is needed.
• CLR60 is better suited for larger assemblies or detailed craftwork where more working time is required.
• CLR40 offers a balance between the two.

A5. They are best for medium-duty bonding. For heavy structural loads or high-impact environments, consider using a dedicated structural epoxy adhesive.

A6. Yes. Their clear, non-yellowing finish makes them ideal for bonding transparent acrylic, glass, light-toned wood, or stone, where traditional yellow adhesives would stand out.

A7. No. They are 100% solid formulations and do not shrink during or after curing, which ensures precise fit and finish.

A8. Yes. That’s exactly what they’re made for. Their optical clarity ensures that bond lines remain clean and discreet in edge-to-edge or butt-joint bonding.

A9. Mix Part A and Part B in a 100:100 ratio by weight. Ensure thorough mixing until the color and texture are completely uniform.

A10. Yes, they have moderate flowability and are ideal for both brush/spatula application and controlled pouring for joints or narrow gaps.

A11. It performs well even in very thin layers, thanks to excellent wetting and surface adhesion, making it perfect for close-fitting joints.

A12. Ideal application range: 15°C to 35°C. Below 15°C, working time increases, and cure slows down. At high temps (>35°C), pot life shortens considerably

A13. Mix slowly and gently, using a flat stirrer. Avoid whipping motions. Let the mix stand for 1–2 minutes to allow bubbles to rise before application.

A14. Yes, transparent or translucent pigments (e.g., universal stainers or epoxy-safe colorants) can be added in small quantities. Always test compatibility before bulk use.

A15. Yes. Apply uniform pressure or clamping during the pot life to ensure tight bonding. Avoid excessive pressure that might squeeze out adhesive.

A16. While initial set happens within a few hours, full cure is achieved in ~24 hours at room temperature.

A17. Under normal indoor conditions, it remains clear. However, like most epoxies, extended UV exposure may cause mild yellowing over time. A UV-blocking topcoat is advised for outdoor use.

A18. Yes. Once cured, the adhesive is water-resistant and chemically stable under mild exposure (e.g., cleaning agents, moisture, kitchen humidity).

A19. The bond is hard and rigid, providing high mechanical strength. Not recommended where flexibility or vibration damping is needed.

A20. Yes. After light sanding, cured adhesive can be varnished, PU-coated, lacquered, or even polished—perfect for finishing craft and furniture joints.

A21. If you need a slower-setting clear epoxy, consider using MR. JO Tecbond-CL for long working time applications.
