Preparing the mixture:
-
Proportions of the components in the mixture: 1 box of resin + 1 box of hardener + 1 bucket of mineral filler (or the equivalent ratio).
-
The quantity of resin mix needed for one junction depends on the size of the busway, as shown in the table above.
-
Example: Quantity to order for 1 line of KRC1600 3L+N with 9 junctions and 1 line of KRC2500 3L+N with 20 junctions: Resin + hardener: 0.8 x 9 + 1.2 x 20 = 31.2 -> 32; Mineral filler: 0.8 x 9 + 1.2 x 20 = 31.2 -> 32.
-
The quantity proposed takes into account that all junctions may not be cast using the same batch of mixture and that some of it may have to be discarded.
