INDUSTRIAL ASSEMBLY PRODUCTS REFER PIRTEK FOR MSDS SHEETS. Aluminium Stick - Epoxy Putty

PROTECT IATDS198

A hand kneadable, speciality epoxy putty that mixes in one minute to provide fast, permanent repairs to most aluminium surfaces. When applying it to surfaces it is necessary to work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect. Lower temperature causes longer cure time. The handy rod form has the curing agent encapsulated in the contrasting colour base material. It's putty-like consistency eliminates drips and runs, providing "no mess" application with no tools required to use. The mixed epoxy turns from a silvery colour to "Alloy" upon curing and will not yellow upon exposure to UV light. After final cure, Aluminium Stick may be drilled, sawed, tapped, filed, sanded and painted. It allows patching in areas where welding is impossible.

Useful Hint
  • Mixing: Twist or cut off required amount. To mix, knead with fingers to a uniform colour. If mixing is difficult, warm the stick to room temperature or slightly above. Apply to the surface to be repaired (within 2 minutes of mixing). The mixed epoxy does not exhibit high bond strength at this point, but appears to be merely lying on the surface.
  • Force into any cracks or holes to be filled and strike off excess material, preferably with a tool wetted with clean water. Work the material forcefully into the surface and apply pressure until adhesion begins to take effect.
  • For a smooth appearance, hand rub with water or a damp cloth prior to hardening. Remove excess material before hardening begins. After 15-20 minutes the epoxy will harden like metal and start to form a tenacious bond. After just 45 minutes IATDS198 is completely cured and can be drilled, sawed, carved, sanded, stained or painted

Application
TDS198 EPOXY. After proper mixing, Aluminium Stick moulds like clay and may be used to permanently patch dents, scratches, cuts, gouges and holes in items such as housings and all types of repairs to mouldings and injection type shapes. Aluminium Stick is ideal for making emergency repairs to reforming, rebuilding and patching anything made out of aluminium such as HVAC parts, refrigeration units, air conditioning units, machine parts, alu-roofing, flagpoles, shelving, platforms, walkways, campers, vehicles, canopies, gutters, truck bodies, wheels, manifolds, stripped threads, marine hardware and casings Surface should be cleaned free of grease or dirt. Scuffing or sanding the surface prior to cleaning helps to ensure a good bond
