Devcon Ceramic Repair Putty Alumina Epoxy Compound, 32 lb

Description

Ceramic Repair Putty is a Devcon alumina-filled epoxy compound for rebuilding and protecting processing equipment exposed to corrosion, erosion, cavitation, chemicals, and acids. The 32 lb package supports larger repair jobs on pumps, chutes, hoppers, valves, tube sheets, and other worn metal equipment.

Ceramic Repair Putty Benefits

• Trowelable body lets maintenance teams rebuild worn metal without removing large equipment from service.
• Alumina-filled epoxy helps protect repaired surfaces from slurry wear, corrosion, and chemical exposure.
• Temperature range up to 350 F supports many wet processing and plant repair environments.
• Large 32 lb kit gives crews enough material for broad rebuild areas and thicker sections.
• Mil Spec DOD-C-24176B(SH) Type I and II qualification supports use where documented repair materials matter.

Use this compound when a worn casing, suction plate, hopper, or valve needs material restored before the next shutdown window closes. Proper surface prep and mixing are what turn the repair from a patch into a serviceable rebuilt surface.

Ceramic Repair Putty Applications

• Pump casings, suction plates, and circulating water equipment.
• Tube sheets, heat exchangers, chutes, and hoppers.
• Butterfly valves, gate valves, and worn metal castings.
• Areas exposed to corrosion, erosion, cavitation, chemicals, or acids.
• Plant maintenance work where trowel application is easier than welding or machining.

Surface Preparation and Use

Remove oil, grease, loose rust, scale, and old coating before application. Abrasive blast or grind the surface to create a clean profile, then apply the mixed epoxy while the repair zone is dry and within the recommended temperature range.

Mix both parts thoroughly, scrape the container walls, and apply with firm pressure so the compound wets the prepared metal. Shape the repair while workable and allow the material to cure before machining, drilling, painting, or returning equipment to service.
