DEVCON Wear Resistant Putty (WR-2) – 3 lb

Description

Devcon Wear Resistant Putty (WR-2) – High-Performance Ceramic-Filled Epoxy for Metal Repair & Protection

Devcon® Wear Resistant Putty (WR-2) is a ceramic-filled epoxy putty designed for rebuilding, resurfacing, and protecting metal surfaces against wear, abrasion, and corrosion. Engineered for industrial metal repair applications, WR-2 delivers a smooth, low-friction finish that enhances equipment longevity in harsh environments.

Key Features & Benefits:

✔ Superior Metal Protection: Shields flange faces, machine ways, valve seats, tracing guides, and other interfacing metal surfaces from wear and bimetallic corrosion.
✔ Durable & Long-Lasting: Cures to a hard, wear-resistant surface with a compressive strength of 9,800 psi (67.6 MPa).
✔ Versatile Application: Ideal for repairing metals and concrete, including worn or pitted surfaces in pumps, chutes, elbows, and fan blades.
✔ Easy to Apply: Non-sag formula allows application on vertical surfaces up to ¼” (6.35 mm) thick.
✔ Excellent Adhesion & Machinability: Bonds securely to properly prepared surfaces and can be machined, drilled, or painted after full cure (16 hours).
✔ Chemical & Temperature Resistance: Withstands temperatures up to 250°F (121°C) dry and resists exposure to oils, fuels, acids, and alkalis.

Common Uses:

• Industrial Equipment Repair – Rebuilds worn parts in manufacturing, mining, and marine applications.
• Metal Surface Restoration – Ideal for resurfacing corroded or pitted metals to extend service life.
• Pump & Valve Repairs – Reduces downtime by reinforcing and sealing damaged components.
• Concrete & Metal Bonding – Provides a strong, abrasion-resistant surface for harsh environments.

Technical Specifications:

• Compressive Strength: 9,800 psi (ASTM D695)
• Tensile Shear Strength: 2,200 psi (ASTM D1002)
• Shore D Hardness: 85 (ASTM D2240)
• Pot Life: 45 minutes at 75°F (24°C)
• Cure Time: Functional in 16 hours; full cure with heat treatment in 4 hours at 200°F (93°C)
• Mix Ratio (by weight): 9:1

Application Instructions:

1. Surface Preparation: Clean thoroughly with Devcon® Cleaner Blend 300, then grit blast or grind to create a rough profile for adhesion.
2. Mixing: Combine pre-measured resin and hardener until streak-free. For large applications, use a Jiffy Mixer.
3. Application: Spread evenly over the repair area, pressing firmly to ensure full surface contact.
4. Curing: Allow 16 hours at room temperature or accelerate with heat for maximum mechanical properties.
