Devcon Ceramic Repair Putty Alumina Epoxy Compound, 3 lb

Description

Ceramic Repair Putty is a Devcon trowelable alumina-filled epoxy for rebuilding and protecting worn metal equipment. The 3 lb kit is sized for smaller repairs on pumps, valves, chutes, hoppers, tube sheets, heat exchangers, and metal castings.

Ceramic Repair Putty Benefits

• Trowelable consistency lets technicians rebuild worn surfaces without a pour mold.
• Alumina-filled epoxy protects repaired areas against erosion, corrosion, cavitation, chemicals, and acids.
• Temperature range up to 350 F fits many plant maintenance and wet processing repairs.
• 3 lb kit size works well for spot repairs, maintenance stock, and smaller shutdown jobs.
• Mil Spec DOD-C-24176B(SH) Type I and II qualification helps when documented repair products are required.

Choose this package when the damaged area is too large for a small patch but does not need a bulk pail. Good surface prep, accurate mixing, and full cure time matter more than extra material thickness.

Ceramic Repair Putty Applications

• Rebuilding worn pump casings and suction plates.
• Repairing tube sheets, heat exchangers, chutes, and hoppers.
• Restoring butterfly valves, gate valves, and metal castings.
• Filling voids and smoothing worn equipment surfaces.
• Maintenance repairs where corrosion and abrasion have removed base metal.

Surface Preparation and Use

Clean the repair zone until it is dry and free of oil, grease, loose rust, scale, and old coating. Abrasive blasting is preferred where possible. Grinding can also create a suitable profile when blasting is not practical.

Mix resin and hardener thoroughly and press the compound into the profile with a trowel. Shape the repair while the epoxy is workable, then allow it to cure before machining, drilling, painting, or returning the equipment to service.
