ALCON (A) PLASTIC METAL BOND EPOXY & STEEL (PUTTY) - RESIN (MSDS)

ALCON (A) PLASTIC METAL BOND EPOXY & STEEL (PUTTY) - CATALYST (MSDS)  
 

ALCON (A) PUTTY METAL BOND (TDS)
 

Epoxy Resins and Steel Powders

A mixture of epoxy resins and steel powders that strongly adheres to many materials such as steel, cast iron, and other metals, as well as concrete and certain hard plastics.

It is safely used for:

• Bonding broken machine parts,
• Filling casting defects and voids,
• Repairing and bonding punctured tanks, containers, and pipes,
• Coating and protecting damaged or worn metal surfaces due to friction.

Product Features

• Easily applicable to vertical surfaces.
• Bonds to aluminum, steel, and various other metals, as well as concrete.
• Can be machined on metallic surfaces.
• Provides rust-proof repairs.
• Resistant to chemicals, acids, bases, solvents, and alkalies.

Application Method

The application surface must be clean, sanded, preferably lightly roughened, dry, and rust-free to ensure proper adhesion. Sanding is the ideal preparation method. Afterward, the surface should be cleaned with a suitable degreasing solvent and the bonding process should be completed without allowing the surface to reoxidize.

Please refer to the mixing ratio chart provided inside the product packaging for the correct ratios of resin and hardener. Add the hardener to the resin and mix thoroughly for about 4 minutes until a homogeneous mixture is achieved. (For Alcon 5 Minute SF product, curing begins within 5 minutes, so mixing should be completed in 1–2 minutes.) Mix using both circular and upward movements.

For paste types, apply the mixture onto the prepared surface with a putty knife. For liquid types, first, apply a thin coat with a brush, then pour the remaining liquid slowly along the edges of the mold cavity to avoid air bubbles. Spread the mixed material over the repair area and work it firmly into the substrate to ensure maximum surface contact. Plastic Steel Putty (A) fully cures within 16 hours and can then be machined, drilled, or painted.

Applications

A mixture of epoxy resins and steel powders that strongly adheres to various metals like steel, cast iron, and concrete, as well as other hard materials.
