Matrix™ Thickener
Increase the viscosity of duoMatrix™ NEO by adding a small amount of Matrix™ Thickener to your mix. This will give you better control over the viscosity of your mix and help reduce the number of layers needed when using NEO for hand lay-up, rotocasting or slush casting applications.

THICKENING NEO USING MATRIX™ THICKENER
Measuring by Weight: Using an accurate gram scale, weigh out 100 Parts B. Matrix™ Thickener is then measured out as a percentage of Part B; reference chart below for consistency. Add Thickener after Part A and B are thoroughly mixed. Continue to mix for about 15 more seconds.
| Part A Powder | Part B Liquid | Thickener (% of Part B by weight) | Pot Life | Cure Time | Consistency |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 200 | 100 | 1 Parts (1.0% of Part B by weight) | 35 min. | 100 min. | Thick |
| 200 | 100 | 2 Parts (2% of Part B by weight) | 40 min. | 105 min. | Thicker |
| 200 | 100 | 2.5 Parts (2.5% of Part B by weight) | 45 min. | 110 min. | Thickest |
Important: Do not excessed 2.5 Parts of Thickener. Overloading the material will thin it back out.
