| Each test kit contains: Technon® PM powder, Poly (A & B), Popsicle sticks, latex gloves, mixing instructions, and a mixing impeller. |
Some companies were unsuccessful in mixing a high-density compound of our Technon® with a suitable epoxy. We completed the R&D work on this project and take pleasure in presenting the TECHNON® / POLY TEST KIT. We are confident that this environmentally-safe, lead-replacement product will offer you exciting new possibilities.
The “room temperature sintered tungsten” compound is designed to replace lead wherever it is used. Technon® / Poly material offers you the opportunity to manufacture heavy components, or fill cavities with the required weight at a wide range of densities (1 - 10 g/cc), without the need for expensive injection molding tools. We can recommend a suitable and easy-to-use silicon cast mold process. These molds are easy to manufacture and are inexpensive.
The test kits are available in multiples of 1 kg. Our epoxy is high impact and 80 - 85 Shore D.
PRICE: US$89.95 per kg. (1 kg = 2.2 lbs.)

- Drying the Technon® powder is recommended for best results, but is not essential. To do so, heat the powder to 110°F (43°C) for about 1 hour and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Measure and pour the required amount of A and B poly components into the mixing container. The suggested ratio is 100 parts A to 20 parts B by weight. See photo below
- Mix by hand for about 15 seconds.
- Measure and add the required amount of Technon® powder to the mixing container. The suggested mixing ratio is 93.5% powder to 6.5% poly (A & B combined). See photo below
- Mix A and B poly components well with the Technon® powder for 5 - 10 seconds using a high shear mixer or 25 - 30 seconds by hand. See photos below
- Adjust the consistency by adding more powder to achieve the maximum density desired.
| Consistency by Application |
Max. Density After Curing |
|---|---|
| Poured | 9.5 g/cc |
| Injected under pressure | 10 g/cc |
| Filled as light paste | 10.25 g/cc |
| Filled as heavy paste | 10.50 g/cc |
- Pour compound and allow to cure for 24 hours at room temperature. Alternatively, injection may also be used. See photos below

- Vacuum degassing is not required
- Curing by elevated temperatures is not recommended
- Drying the powder is recommended for best results, but not essential
- Store in a cool dry location. Unopened containers have a shelf life of 6 months from date of shipment, when properly stored
- Purge opened containers with dry nitrogen before resealing
For production quantities, we can offer a unique system that allows mixing directly in the injector container (syringe) with a suitable mixing impeller. After mixing, simply withdraw the impeller, replace it with a push rod and a piston, attach a suitable nozzle (not shown), and inject.
Eco-Friendly: All components are reusable, with minimum wasted compound and an efficient production cycle time. Several container sizes are available.
