    00:00:02 [Music] as a preliminary step proper mixing is the best way to avoid the development of air bubbles in an epoxy system proper mixing ensures that not too much air entrapment takes place as shown in this example mixing should be done slowly and thoroughly to prevent injecting air into the compound it's important to remove

    00:00:29 air bubbles before using an epoxy system air bubbles may cause voids or air gaps in the epoxy which can lead to poor adhesive performance the most effective way to remove air bubbles from an already mixed unfilled two-part system is by using a centrifuge please refer to the user manual for specific instructions on how to use your centrifuge high-quality deaeration can

    00:00:58 be accomplished with a centrifuge at 1000 to 3000 rpm for a few minutes if you still see air bubbles you will need to repeat the centrifuge cycle and adjust the RPM if needed this process may be repeated several times until you reach the desired result remember air bubble removal is an important way to ensure the most suitable end result when working with a two-part epoxy system
