Devcon Carbide Putty Wear-Resistant Epoxy, 3 Lb

Description

Devcon Carbide Putty is a 3 lb silicon carbide-filled epoxy putty for wear and abrasion repair on industrial equipment. It is built for areas where fine particulate attack, erosion, and plant process exposure damage metal surfaces faster than ordinary repair compounds can hold.

Devcon Carbide Putty Benefits

• Silicon carbide fill helps protect against aggressive abrasion in industrial environments.
• Handles particulate wear where material size is less than 1/16 inch.
• Continuous service temperature reaches 250 degrees F after proper cure.
• 50 minute open time gives maintenance teams working room for trowel application.
• Can bridge gaps and build thickness when used with the proper repair method.

The 3 lb package is practical for localized rebuilds, small wear patches, and maintenance kits. It can be used on pipe elbows, pulverizers, slurry lines, cyclones, exhauster fans, and chutes when the surface is prepared correctly and the repair thickness matches the job.

Devcon Carbide Putty Applications

• Repairing metal surfaces worn by fine aggregate, dust, slurry, or powder flow.
• Rebuilding elbows, chutes, fan housings, and equipment transition points.
• Protecting localized wear zones before base metal loss becomes severe.
• Maintenance work where a trowelable paste is easier to place than a coating.
• Shop and field repairs that need a 3 lb kit rather than a larger pail.

Surface Preparation And Use

Clean the repair area to remove oil, grease, dirt, rust, loose metal, and old coating. Grit blast or grind to expose a rough, clean surface that gives the putty more area to grip. Mix resin and hardener until the blend is uniform, then work the material firmly into the substrate.

Apply at the minimum thickness called out for the repair and shape it before cure. For larger holes or bridging work, use suitable backing such as fiberglass sheet, expanded metal, or mechanical fasteners. Review current resources from Devcon before approving a repair standard.
