Ordering Information

IRS 3071 twinpack

IRS 3071 is available in twinpacks or in bulk.

The twinpack sachet is a clear film sachet, with the resin and hardener separated by a removable clip and rail divider. Click here for twinpack mixing instructions.

In kit form, resin and hardener are provided in separate containers to the correct ratio. In most cases pour the hardener into the larger resin container and use it as a mixing vessel. Stir well using appropriate mixer until homogeneous.
