SealXpert Metal Putty is a two component, ambient-temperature curing epoxy putty. The metal putty is suitable for a wide application range, convenient-to-use, non-sagging with high bond strength.
SealXpert Metal Putty consists of two components (resin & hardener) each separately packed. The resin container is slack filled to allow the addition of hardener to be mixed with resin. It is critical to mix the metal putties thoroughly and in proper ratio to achieve the performance of the material. Whenever possible, the complete container should be mixed at one time. If the material is to be mixed in separate batches, the user must be careful to adhere to the mixing ratios specified on the product label.
The material is mixed by adding hardener to resin. The mixing process is complete when the product is free from streaks or other variances. Failure to thoroughly mix the material will cause soft spots or overall failure of the product. The mixing process should take at least 3 to 5 minutes.
When mixing large masses of metal putties (more than 500 grams), place both the resin & hardener into a clean disposable container. Mix and knead material with a putty knife or other flat tool until the product is thoroughly mixed. Do not fold material into the mix as this process can cause air entrapment that will weaken the cured product.
When applying SealXpert Metal Putty at higher temperature and mixing more quantities of each component, it will shorter the pot life. On the contrary, lower temperature and mixing less of each component will length the pot life. In the case of temperature below 10°C, it is recommended to preheat the repair surface. A fast cure may be obtained by heating with infra-red bulbs, heating pads, electric heater or open flame held close to the repair area. Any type of extra heat will increase the curing speed. In the case high temperature, reduce the mixture of each component to shorten curing time.
The pot life or working life of SealXpert Metal Putty may be extended by pouring the contents into large surface area shallow container. The pot life can also be extended when putting the shallow container on ice or in cold water.
The viscosity of SealXpert Metal Putty increases with lower temperature and decreases with higher temperature. To change viscosity in cool weather, warm the product slightly; to reduce the viscosity in hot weather, cool the product slightly.
SealXpert Metal Putty can be machined after cured and it has good corrosion and chemical resistance.
SealXpert™ metal putty is a high performance metal-filled epoxy putty. They are the best choice for repairing holes, cracks and defects. SealXpert™ metal epoxy putty is quick-curing and cost-effective in returning worn-off parts or equipment back to service.
