A method for making a lubricating fast-setting epoxy compound comprising:
mixing under vacuum dispersion a first micro-crystalline filler, a first
talc, and a titanium oxide into a hardenable epoxide containing liquid
forming an epoxy base. A second micro-crystalline filler, a second talc,
and a hydrocarbon resin are mixed forming an accelerator mixture. A
methylamino accelerator is mixed into the accelerator mixture forming an
epoxy accelerator. Substantially equal amounts of the epoxy base and the
epoxy accelerator are mixed to form the lubricating fast-setting epoxy
compound having a high lubricity and a curing time ranging from two
minutes to twelve minutes. Adjusting the mixing speed and temperature of
the epoxy base, the accelerator mixture, and the epoxy accelerator is
contemplated to promote homogeneity. The epoxy base can also include a
flatting agent. The epoxy accelerator can also include a modified
aliphatic amine, an acrylic resin, a coloring agent, or combinations
thereof.
