What is G Flex technology?

What is G Flex technology?

General Description. G/flex Epoxies are toughened, resilient two-part epoxies engineered for a superior grip to metals, plastics, glass, masonry, fiberglass, and wet and difficult-to-bond woods. G/flex Epoxies are available in two consistencies. G/flex 650 Epoxy is a liquid epoxy with a honey- like consistency.

How strong is G Flex?

G/flex is resilient and impact resistant. With a modulus of elasticity of 150,000 psi (WEST SYSTEM 105 Resin/205 Hardener has a modulus of elasticity of 450,000 psi), G/flex is more flexible and can deflect further before breaking than WEST SYSTEM 105/205, while being much stiffer than typical adhesive sealants.

Can G Flex be sanded?

reach a workable cure in 7-10 hours. The adhesive may be sanded, clamps can be removed, and joints can be moderately loaded. Wait 24 hours before subjecting joints to high loads. G/flex 655 Epoxy Adhesive cures faster in warmer temperatures and slower in cooler temperatures.

How long does it take G Flex to cure?

Mixed at a 1:1 ratio, this 2-part epoxy gives you 46 minutes of pot life at 72°F and an open (working) time of 60-75 minutes. It reaches an initial cure in 3 to 4 hrs and a workable cure in 7-10 hours.

How does LG Self Healing phone work?

LG’s Frank Lee explained that the material the G Flex 2 is made up of contains a lot of hydrogen atoms. When there’s a scratch, an indentation is made on a microscopic level; when the atoms are pushed together, they naturally want go back to their original spot, thus “healing” the device.

How long does G Flex take to cure?

It can be modified with WEST SYSTEM fillers and additives and used to wet-out fiberglass tapes and fabrics. Mixed at a 1:1 ratio, this 2-part epoxy gives you 46 minutes of pot life at 72°F and an open (working) time of 60-75 minutes. It reaches an initial cure in 3 to 4 hrs and a workable cure in 7-10 hours.

How do I thin my G flex epoxy?

Adding 5% lacquer thinner to epoxy reduces the epoxy’s compressive strength by 35% – a big hit in mechanical properties of WEST SYSTEM® epoxy. The addition of more than 5% solvent results in an excessively flexible cured material.

How strong is G flex epoxy?

G/flex has a tensile strength averaging 3,400 psi and a compression strength of around 5,200 psi.

How do self healing phones work?

The scientists revealed they developed microcapsules containing linseed oil which mix with silicone to create a protective film. Once the screen cracks, the microcapsules burst. They then flow to the broken area and repair the damage.
