Applications
- Shimming gaps and offsets at the assembly level for metal and composite assemblies.
- Cast-in-place shimming to form complex contours on parts machined undersize at detail level.
- Close-tolerance molding to produce accurate and identical parts.
- Repair of dents, holes and faring applications.
- Economical correction of tooling.
- Alignment of heavy machine or motor parts.
- Alignment of propulsion systems for marine applications and chocking.
Directions for Use – DMS-4-828 Two-Part System
Estimate the quantity of shim material required. Weigh the required base material to the nearest gram into a container that can be heated, then bring the base material to room temperature at 75-80ºF (24-27ºC).
While the base material is warming, weigh the appropriate amount of catalyst into an inert container:
| Material | Catalyst Ratio |
|---|---|
| DMS-4-828 | 14.4 parts catalyst per 100 base material |
| DMS-4-828 LC | 12.2 parts catalyst per 100 base material |
| DMS-4-828 FA | 17.9 parts catalyst per 100 base material |
Once the base material reaches the required temperature, add the measured catalyst and mix thoroughly. The DMS-4-828 Moldable Shim Material is then ready for use. Application time is approximately 45 minutes, depending on the temperature of the material and the substrate to which it is applied.
Where a bubble-free mixture is required, the mixed base material and catalyst can be centrifuged for three minutes at 1500 rpm @ 75-80ºF (24-27ºC).
DMS-4-828 Moldable Shim Material is designed for room temperature cure. Curing can be accelerated with moderate heating, and maximum properties can be obtained by heating to 120ºF (50ºC) for two hours.
Field Kits
DMS-4-828 Moldable Shim Material can also be supplied in 50 and 100 g. field kits. Each kit is packaged in an aluminum “rip top” can with a pre-measured amount of catalyst in a disposable syringe. To use a field kit, warm the base material to 75-80ºF (24-27ºC), remove the “rip top” lid, empty the pre-measured syringe into the base material and mix thoroughly using the supplied spatula.
Precautions
For information regarding product hazards, consult the product safety data sheet in accordance with local regulation. Questions or comments should be addressed to SOCOMORE Technical Support. For industrial use only.
